Invasive plant workshop slated for March 18
The Chippewa Luce Mackinac Conservation District is working with their partners at the Upper Peninsula Resource Conservation and Development (UP RC&D) Council to sponsor an educational workshop in Mackinac County to help educate residents and local officials about Phragmites.
This non-native, highly invasive perennial grass, also known as common reed, has spread rapidly over the past several years into the Great Lakes coastal zone, interior lakes and wetlands, riparian corridors, and roadside ditches by both natural and human-driven dispersal mechanisms.
Invasive Phragmites can negatively affect the biodiversity and ecological functions of invaded habitats, impair the recreational use of wetlands and shorelines, decrease property values, and increase fire risk. These infestations occur on adjacent private and public land in the UP, and if control efforts are to be successful, a collaborative approach will be necessary. The most effective management and control techniques typically require a combination of methods and a long term commitment.
The UP RC&D Council was successful in securing a $458,000 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to help combat the Phragmites problem throughout the Upper Peninsula, and will be relying on assistance from local conservation districts and other partners to help in the implementation of this project. Grant funds will be used to map all locations of non-native Phragmites throughout the entire Upper Peninsula and treat a minimum of 400 acres of coastal shoreline and wetlands for two years.
Landowners, local officials and the general public are invited and encouraged to attend the workshop where they will find out how to identify Phragmites, learn about the biology of this plant and mechanisms of infestation, find out about the most effective methods to control this invasive plant, and learn how they can participate in this project and give their permission to have the Phragmites on their own property treated as part of this project.
A public workshop will be held in Mackinac County on Monday, March 18, at 6 p.m. at the Clarke Township Community Center, 207 Blindline Road in Cedarville. For additional information about these meetings, contact Nick Cassel at (906) 635-1278 or e-mail email@example.com.
The same information will be presented at meetings in Delta, Schoolcraft, Menominee, and Dickinson counties during the week of March 18-21. For the schedule of those meetings, or to obtain more information about the project, or to learn more about non-native Phragmites, go to www.phragmitesintheup.org, or email the project coordinator at firstname.lastname@example.com.

How To Start A Profitable Business On Any Niche By Tai Lopez
Tail Lopez – An Entrepreneurial Success Story
Tail Lopez began selling cherry tomatoes as a child to make money for his family. Growing up in a neighborhood full of gang members, it was difficult for him to make friends. Lopez turned to books to make friends. Lopez asked his grandfather for advice about how to live the "Good Life". He replied with a box of books. As a result, Lopez was able to make friends and earn money.
Although he was born into a poor family, Tai Lopez developed entrepreneurial habits and became a college dropout. He went on to become a certified financial advisor and own nightclubs. Since then, he has worked with many renowned entrepreneurs and businessmen. Despite his humble beginnings, he has become a millionaire. But before he became a millionaire, he had to overcome obstacles, including poverty and gang affiliation.
Tai Lopez has since moved on to a new investment firm focused on e-Commerce and brands with offline equity. His success has been attributed to his social media presence. In his first two years, he was able to make $0/hour working for his mentor. Today, he earns hundreds of thousands of dollars every single day. He believes that social media can help entrepreneurs s\\ucceed in business.
Tai Lopez describes his grandfather as a "scientist," and writes about how he began reading books when he was a child. His grandfather also sent him books to read as a boy. These stories have been cited in several biographies, although these accounts are not independently verified. He mentions his grandfather's work in amish communities, and even leper colonies, among many other things. These are speculations, so don't believe everything you read.
Tai Lopez is an American investor, entrepreneur, author, and business advisor. His podcasts and books have enjoyed great popularity, mainly due to his garage video recordings from 2015. Tai Lopez is currently working with a company called MentorBox. He also owns his own dating website, Elite Global Dating, which has given him an initial sum of money. His podcasts have attracted sponsors and are gaining over 100,000 downloads each month. He is also a member of the 67 Steps Program, a mentorship program for business owners.
Tai Lopez has a net worth of $60 million. His YouTube channel has over 900 thousand subscribers, and he is an advisor to several multi-million-dollar companies. His entrepreneurial activities have also earned him a reputation as an influential career advisor, lending motivation to students and organizations around the world. His net worth is expected to rise by at least $60million by 2020. It is difficult to predict the future, but Tai Lopez's success has led to a lot of success.
Although Tai Lopez has been criticized for presenting himself as a rich person on YouTube, he has always maintained a high level of transparency. Many critics have claimed that Tai Lopez is a fraudster, despite his wealth and lifestyle. His business is still relatively young, but it is worth $5-6 million. He founded a self-improvement business that offers methods to improve your life. The company's 67-step program is available to buy for $67.
In the near future, Tai Lopez's net worth will be $60 million. YouTube viral videos have made Tai Lopez a popular entrepreneur, motivational speaker, investor, and entrepreneur. With his YouTube videos and podcasts, he has built a large online empire that is based on his personal brand image and marketing strategies. He has been criticized by some, but he is widely regarded as an influential businessman. In addition to his success in the YouTube videos and podcasts, he is an expert in digital advertising.
Despite his popularity on the Internet, Tai Lopez's marketing tactics are largely a scam. Although the company claims that their programs are backed up by an experienced team, they are unreliable. Some of his courses cost as much as $7000. The programs are a rip-off. While this is the case with some programs, it is advisable to do your own research before investing in Tai Lopez's products.

One American confimed dead in Algerian hostage takeover
- Terrorists holding hostages in heart of sprawling gas facility
- Algerian military raid killed several terrorists but did not end siege
- U.S. plane lands in Algeria to pick up Americans%2C Reuters reports
An American is among at least 12 Algerians and foreigners who are known dead from the terrorist takeover at a natural gas facility in eastern Algeria, the state Algerian Press Service and U.S. officials said Friday.
Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists continued to hold as many as seven hostages, according to API. U.S. officials told the Associated Press that an American died in the hostage standoff: Texas resident Frederick Buttaccio. It is unclear how he died.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter, say Buttaccio's remains have been recovered and his family has been notified.
The Algerian news service, noting that its figures are "provisional," said 18 of the kidnappers were also "put out of action."
Reports of casualties -- and even the number of hostages involved -- have fluctuated wildly since more than a dozen al-Qaeda-linked terrorists attacked the remote desert facility on Wednesday, taking scores of Algerian and foreign hostages.
APS reported earlier Friday that Algerian soldiers freed 573 Algerians and nearly 100 of the 132 non-Algerians in Thursday's raid at the Ain Amenas plant, 800 miles south of Algiers, the capital.
Even with the latest report, however, it remains unclear how many foreign workers died in the raid or of what nationality, and how many escaped the facility.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday that she spoke with Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal for the third straight day for an update on the "very difficult situation" and "to underscore again that the utmost care must be taken to preserve innocent life."
Earlier Friday, leaders of the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group that took over the plant said it wanted to trade the American hostages it held for two convicted terrorists being held in U.S. jails, Mauritania's ANI news agency reported Friday.
The terrorists say they want the release of Egyptian Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman and Pakistani Aafia Siddiqui and plan to release a video outlining the offer, according to the news agency, which often reports news from North African extremists.
The 74-year-old Abdel-Rahman, also known as the "Blind Sheikh," is serving a life sentence in North Carolina as the mastermind of the1993 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City.
Siddiqui, a 40-year-old scientist, was sentenced in 2010 to 86 years in U.S. prison for assault with intent to murder for shooting at two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan during her detention in 2008.
Asked to comment on hostage takers demands, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said: "The United States does not negotiate with terrorists. We're obviously in consultation with the Algerians."
LIVE COVERAGE:Freed Algerian hostages debriefed
The Algerian special forces who carried out the raid killed up to 20 hostage-takers, members of an Islamic group known as Qatiba, which translates as Signers in Blood. The forces have surrounded a portion of the facility where more terrorists and some hostages remain, provincial administration sources told APS.
STORY:'Signers in Blood' shares same goal as al-Qaeda
The military was still trying to reach a "peaceful settlement" before "neutralizing" the terrorist group, security sources told APS.
Workers at the facility included citizens of Britain, Ireland, Japan, Netherlands and the United States British Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday during an address to members of parliament that efforts to free the hostages without violence are continuing.
A U.S. official said late Thursday that while some Americans escaped, other Americans remained either held or unaccounted for, the Associated Press reported. The official spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Earlier Friday, the Reuters news agency, citing local sources, reported that a U.S. plane has landed in Algeria to pick up Americans caught up in the crisis. Reuters also reported that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, speaking to security specialists in London on Friday, said "Terrorists should be on notice that they will find no sanctuary, no refuge, not in Algeria, not in North Africa, not anywhere."
Cameron and others complained that Algeria went ahead with its raid without alerting Western leaders they were planning an attack.
Reuters, citing an Algerian security source, is reporting that 30 hostages were killed in the assault, including several Westerners.
Members of the hostage-takers Qatiba have been in contact with the ANI news agency and told them that the raid by Algerian forces killed the ground leader of their group, Abou El Baraa.
Reuters, citing a Algerian security source, identified one one of the dead militants as Tahar Ben Cheneb, described as a "prominent commander in the region."
In all the chaos, it was not immediately clear if two militant leaders were killed, or whether the reports were referring to the same person by different names.
Qatiba was created in December by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who broke off from the terror group al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) to form his own operation. The kidnappers come from Algeria, Canada, Mali, Egypt, Niger and Mauritania, ANI said.
AQIM is operates out of nearby Mali, where it is fighting the Mali army and French forces to take over that country and impose an Islamic state.
Stephen McFaul, an Irish engineer who escaped, reported seeing Algerian forces attack Jeeps containing hostages who were being moved inside the complex, his brother told Reuters. Four vehicles blew up, and McFaul's vehicle crashed, allowing him to flee.
McFaul said the terrorsts hung explosives around the hostages' necks.
A French hostage tells Europe 1 radio that he hid under his bed for 40 hours before he was rescued by Algerian soldiers.
Alexandre Berceraux, an employee of CIS Catering at the desert gas complex, said the initial attack by militants caught everyone by surprise.
"I heard an enormous amount of gunfire. The alarm telling us to stay where we were was going off. I didn't know if it was a drill or if it was real," he told Europe 1. "Nobody expected this. The site was protected. There were soldiers in place."
The plant is jointly operated with British company BP and the Algerian state energy firm. British oil giant BP's Group Chief Executive Bob Dudley released a statement saying that "Sadly, there have been some reports of casualties, but we are still lacking any confirmed or reliable information."
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday that U.S. officials were still gathering details. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton ordered a security review for diplomats, civilians and business across North Africa.
The Algerian military's handling of the hostage situation fits their overall approach to terrorists, says Geoff Porter of North Africa Risk Consulting, a political risk consultancy that specializes in North Africa.
"They don't negotiate with terrorists, and they don't pay ransoms," Porter said.
One of the reasons oil installations have never been attacked before is any attack would be a suicide mission, Porter said. The oil facilities are so remote and in such barren terrain, that attacks are doable, "but the Algerians would deploy helicopters and kill everybody," he said.
Escape would be impossible, but a suicide mission "becomes more feasible, which is what we saw today," Porter said.
In recent months, the United States has been courting Algeria; Clinton has twice visited Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
Algerian leaders, however, have repeatedly warned against Western intervention in the region. Algeria warned that the NATO operation in Libya, which defeated former leader Moammar Gadhafi, would destabilize the region, and that the French intervention in Mali would do the same, Porter said.
"They (Algerians) are likely to feel vindicated, and to reject any criticism for their reaction to a domestic crisis they feel were brought about by Western actions they advised against," Porter said.
Algeria's priority is "to restore stability and deter future incidents," Porter said.
A Qatiba spokesman, pictured in a black turban and an automatic weapon in front of a jihadist flag, told Mauritanian news website Sahara Media Agency that the attack on the gas facility was in retaliation for Algeria's decision to allow French aircraft to use its airspace in its intervention in Mali. Experts doubted that, saying the attack must have been planned for a while, well before the French air assault that began only six days ago.
The United States military has a quick reaction force capable of deploying quickly to Algeria, according to a military official who declined to be named because they are not authorized to speak about the issue. The Pentagon also has "capabilities" to watch over the region, though officials would not specify whether that involves manned aircraft or drones.
Wednesday's attack began with the ambush of a bus carrying employees from the plant to the nearby airport but the attackers were driven off, according to the Algerian government, which said three vehicles of heavily armed men were involved.
"After their failed attempt, the terrorist group headed to the complex's living quarters and took a number of workers with foreign nationalities hostage," said the statement.
Al-Qaeda's influence in the poorly patrolled desert wastes of southern Algeria and northern Mali and Niger has grown. The group operates smuggling and kidnapping networks throughout the area. Militant groups that seized control of northern Mali already hold seven French hostages as well as four Algerian diplomats.
Algeria's security forces have struggled for years against Islamist extremists, and have in recent years managed to nearly snuff out violence by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (northwest Africa) around its home base in northern Algeria. In the meantime, AQIM moved its focus southward.
AQIM has made tens of millions of dollars off kidnapping in the region, abducting Algerian businessmen or political figures, and sometimes foreigners, for ransom.
Algerian leaders adopted an eradication policy against Islamist insurgents in a war that cost more than 100,000 lives. The insurgents eventually accepted amnesty and renounced violence. Remnants of the insurgency have been fighting for an Islamic state in northern Mali, Porter said.
All three AQIM factions in North Africa and the Sahara were "on a downward trend" until 2012, Porter said. The collapse of Libya, which allowed weapons from Gadhafi's vast arsenal to be seized by extremists, "helped them gain power in northern Mali and the group has transformed from 2011 and 2012," he said.
While not all the jihadi factions involved in violence across the region call themselves al-Qaeda or are officially affiliated with the group, their goals tend to be the same, Porter said.
"The goal is still spread radical Islam, attack the near enemy, attack the far enemy, create a sharia state — it's just no longer called al-Qaeda," he said.
Aaron Zelin, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said that while al-Qaeda central is "probably the weakest it's ever been," the jihadist movement has adapted and has strengthened in North Africa.
"The central organization has been weakened, but the branches have gotten stronger because a lot of them are more embedded within the local milieu," he said.
In its new form, al-Qaeda and its jihadi affiliates and sympathizers are less able to launch attacks on the USA or Europe, where security is better than a decade ago, and more focused on "setting up little emirates" and threatening U.S. and Western interests in their own countries, Zelin said.
"They want to bleed the U.S. and its allies dry and exhaust them over a long period of time," he said.

Its breast cancer awareness month this month and I wanted to do a "pink" recipe post to highlight that. Cake was my first pink thought but as I'm staying unprocessed this month I thought I ought to do a healthier recipe! So staying pink(ish) I have a simple recipe today for roasted beetroot, roasting is something people often forget to do with beetroot. It really doesn't take that long and you don't even have to peel the beets!
Beetroot season has all but come to an end in my Mother in laws allotment, the weather being what it was this summer we didn't have the glut of beetroot repeated from last summer so apart from some jars of pickled beets I've mostly roasted mine this summer. Roasted beets are amazing, so simple yet so flavoursome. Roasting them brings out their sweetness and loses some of the earthiness that a lot of people find off-putting. I love them so much I can eat them like candy!
Roasted beets couldn't be simpler to make. Just wash, tumble in some olive oil, season and roast. I also like to add some balsamic vinegar to add to the sweetness. In an hour or so you will have the most wonderful accompaniment to whatever dish takes your fancy, or you could just stand and eat most of them like I often do!
Balsamic Roasted Beetroot (serves 2)
- 450 grams beetroot
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- I tbsp balsamic vinegar
- a couple of sprigs of fresh thyme
- sea salt and fresh ground pepper (in keeping with the pink theme I used pink salt and pink peppercorns but regular will do.)
Preheat oven to 200 C, 400 F, Gas 6
- Wash the beetroot and trim off both ends and any hairy bits, don't bother to peel.
- I advise wearing rubber gloves to avoid pink stained hands, cut the beets into chunks a little larger than bite size. With small beets halves or quarters are fine but some of the huge beets I get from the allotment means cutting much more!
- Put the beets into a roasting pan and drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over them. With your rubber gloves on, rub the olive oil and vinegar into the beets, ensuring each beetroot gets coated.
- Holding one end of a thyme sprig strip the stem of its leaves, letting them scatter over the beets.
- Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 1 hour or until the beets are soft when poked with a knife and have darkened in colour.
Its so important yet so easy to forget, don't forget to check your breasts regularly.

Ankle sprains are caused by an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones of the foot, which may result in excessive stretching or tearing of one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The severity of the sprain can impact the degree of damage as well as the type and duration of treatment. If not properly treated, ankle sprains may develop into long-term problems.
Primary symptoms of ankle sprains are pain following a twist or injury, swelling, and bruising.
Treatment includes resting and elevating the ankle and applying ice to reduce swelling. Compressive bandages also may be used to immobilize and support the injury during healing. Serious ankle sprains, particularly among competitive athletes, may require surgery to repair and tighten the damaged ligaments.
To prevent ankle sprains, try to maintain strength, balance, and flexibility in the foot and ankle through exercising, stretching, and wearing well-fitted shoes.

The idea of NWI (Nested Windows Interface) emerged from the discussion about MDI (Multiple Document Interface) on kde-usability (and later kde-usability-devel) mailing list — so far each application had to implement the most suitable UI by its own (TDI in Konqueror, SDI in Okular) which led to inconsistent behaviour ("is closing the last document possible?").
NWI is thought as a uniform UI on one hand, while helping to increase productivity by extending the idea of tiles and tabs on the other. Consider an example: you edit some data in one application (e.g. an html file in KWrite), and you view the results using another application (in this instance, Konqueror). So although there is no relation between KWrite and Konqueror, for this task — a task you perform right now — those two applications are related. Currently — if you run more than those two applications — when you switch to KWrite, the Window Manager (WM) will bring only KWrite to the front. If another window has meanwhile covered Konqueror, you now have to bring that window to the front by yourself. This is tiresome. With grouping, KWrite and Konqueror would act as one — you switch to container, all applications are put in front.
NWI moves document grouping from the application level to the Window Manager level. Multiple applications — even those using unrelated toolkits (e.g. KDE and Gnome) — can be grouped and managed as a single entity. You are probably familiar with tabs from modern web browsers, and split views from e.g. Kate. Now imagine every program you use having tab support, split view support, and being able to combine them in any combination..
What is it?
Probably you are already familiar with several User Interface designs; TDI, MDI, SDI, and so on. Some of them have proven to be very useful, some of them, not especially. In the NWI world, the most basic — yet the more flexible — UI you can think of is built from those below:
Single Application Interface (SAI)
This is really the simplest UI; no magic here. All you have is just an window of an application instance with some data — if a "window" can hold only one document, it is SAI. Examples: Kpdf, Okular.
Applications can can postpone "real" UI mode — "decide later whether this SAI or TAI". In other words, there is an option "show tabs" (per each application supporting such mode), which translates to:
off → start as SAI, user can add another tab later
on → from the start work as TAI (show even single tab)
In another sense, SAI can be thought of as a leaf; an actual window, rather than one of the container types that follow.
Grid Applications Interface (GAI)
A more accurate name would be Tiling Applications Interface, but this would produce the same acronym as Tabbed Applications Interface.
GAI is a container that displays multiple "views" (a window, document, or other collection of data or controls) next to each other, vertically and/or horizontally, usually with no space between. From a geometrical point of view, GAI container behaves as one window with many panes. Example: Kate, KMail.
GAI has one shared titlebar (for the container), plus at user request each embedded window may have a mini-titlebar.
When you finish grouping, you still can change the proportions of the grid "panes". You can also rearrange them — via context menu or simply like dragging docked windows. Changing the size of one pane will generally change the size of adjacent panes, so that the entire container is filled.
Floating Application Interface (FAI)
The most common FAI container is desktop; windows in an FAI container can be moved freely, and altering the geometry of one window does not have an effect on any others. While the desktop will default to FAI mode, it is possible to switch it to another type. When using multiple desktops, each desktop is considered a separate container; as such, individual desktops may be set to different container types (e.g. desktop 1 is TAI, desktop 2 is GAI, desktops 3 and 4 are FAI).
The FAI container can be any non-root container as well — being able to convert to/from any container, FAI helps reorganizing windows inside GAI. Non-root FAI is what some people (especially those familiar with its use in the Microsoft world) call "MDI".
A minimized window in an FAI root container (desktop) is hidden and accessible from the task bar/panel. Windows in a non-root FAI container "minimize" to just a title bar (much like shading), so they are directly accessible all the time.
When resizing the parent container, the visible portions of the embedded windows are preserved (the embedded windows are "pushed"). If this is no longer possible, the windows are resized.
Default options:
[ ] Show scrollbars (when needed) and allow windows to be moved outside the visible area.
(*) Use mini-task-bar
( ) Minimize windows to bottom of window (appear as shaded title bars)
( ) Minimize windows in place (minimize == shade)
Writing the FAI backend to allow scroll bars, and rewriting the root as another FAI container, should have the side effect of giving us the much-requested "virtual desktop" feature, or at least putting us very close to having it.
Tabbed Applications Interface (TAI)
If you've used a modern web browser, you have almost certainly experienced TAI in the form of TDI (Tabbed Document Interface). You launch one application instance, and you can then open multiple data views (documents, web pages, even shell sessions) in one window, with one per tab. Example: Konqueror, Konsole.
TAI goes a little further than TDI, because you can arrange several application instances in tabs and put them into one window. So in one tab you can have Konqueror displaying web page, and in the second tab you can have Okular displaying pdf file. (Microsoft Internet Explorer does this to a limited extent with Adobe Acrobat integration. Imagine being able to open any document from a web page in an appropriate viewer and have it be just another tab.)
By default, tabs are shown at the top of the window, but the user can choose for them to be on any side. This can be configured both as a global default, and per container.
Nested Windows Interface (NWI)
Once the container is arranged, you can think of it as a window. As such, you can put into another container, thus nesting containers. Therefore, the UI in general is called NWI; Nested Windows Interface.
The visual aspect of containers is controlled by the window decorator, so different decorators may make different choices regarding how containers are displayed (for example, TAI might have a title bar and tab strip, or might combine the two in the manner of Google's Chrome browser).
The desktop and each container type have their own default setting whether they should display a unified (shared) menu, or allow menus to be displayed in the child windows as they normally would. Individual containers can also be configured for regular/shared or use the container-type default.
When displaying a shared menu, the menu for the active leaf (that is, the descendent window that has input focus) is displayed in the top of the container, and no other menus are displayed in that container (not limited to immediate children) — "take all" mechanism.
Note that typical "hide menubar" option affects only application menu, not shared menu. To hide shared menubar user has to select "hide container menubar" option.
{ MAYBE: in case with shared menu there could be added such container entries like "close window", "create preset", "convert to", "help", so the user would not have to use context menu to pick up those. And such entries would show up even if app does not have menu on its own. }
Default options:
[ ] GAI uses shared menu
[ ] FAI uses shared menu
[ ] TAI uses shared menu
[ ] override the container setting for the desktop
[ ] desktop uses shared menu
Containers cannot get focus — only the windows of application instances within can get focus — however they appear in window lists (e.g. window switcher, task bar) as if they could get the focus (you can think of the container as focus-proxy). Requesting that a container be given focus (e.g. by window switcher, task bar, or clicking the container's title bar) will give focus to the window within that container that most recently had focus. If that window is itself a container, then the window in that container that most recently had focus will receive it, and so on until a leaf (a non-container window) is reached.
Session management
When you turn the session management on (at KDE level), SM not only restores the application instances, but also recreates containers.
It is also possible to save the current application instance set of the container as a preset (e.g. KWrite and Konqueror in GAI), and then later launch such group at once. This saves recreating commonly-used groups.
Data saved:
- set of windows of the container
- container type
- container class name
- container title
- container shared menu settings
At some point, we would like to be able to configure launching saved groups with arguments (e.g. file names), including which new application instances should get what arguments. This would allow e.g. an action on HTML documents to open the aforementioned KWrite+Konqueror group for simultaneous viewing and editing of the document(s).
Container presentation
Containers will use a window title that may represent information about the active window and/or the container type. This can be changed by the user, per container, in a similar manner to naming tabs in Konsole. Special character sequences may be used to substitute information such as the window title of the active child, or the descendent which has input focus (or "would have", if the container is given focus). These titles are used in the container's title bar, where applicable, and in task lists (task bar, window switcher, etc.).
The task bar shows (directly) only those windows that live directly in the root container. When user clicks LMB on container entry in the task bar, the list of all embedded windows is shown (containers show items which expand to the windows they contain, and so on). As with collapsed tasks, containers show a small number with the number of windows they contain.
NWI also provides options for controlling the way the task bar manages collapsing (merging of task entries into a single top-level entry):
[x] collapse similar windows on the task bar
[ ] collapse similar windows in pop-up lists
A pop-up list would be e.g. the menu that appears when selecting a task bar entry for a container or collapsed entry.
{ nicer screenshot to show both of them in action }
Similar windows are those belonging to the same application, or containers with the same class. By default, each container is assigned a "class name" from its initial: contents and type. The class name can also be changed by the user for fine control over collapsing.
Managing the containers
Except for the root container (the desktop), empty containers are not allowed. Thus you have to point out which windows you would like to group or convert one of the windows to be container and add another window to it. Once a container is created, the user can label it as she/he likes (the label will be used as the container title, e.g. in the titlebar, task bar, switcher, etc.).
Arranging windows as container
- launch applications as you like
- RMB on the desktop to get context menu
- choose "create container" (control dialog appears with "accept" and "cancel" buttons and container type selection)
- select desired windows
- click LMB on "accept" or press [Enter] key — container is created
To select windows:
- with Shift+LMB pressed down select region over the windows (like in KSnapshot)
- with Ctrl pressed down click LMB on the window (to deselect click again)
You can also run any switcher when selecting; this is useful for FAI containers.
Incremental adding
You can:
- add a new application instance of the same type as the current window, as a new sibling of the current window (equivalent to the "new tab" feature of many web browsers)
- add a duplicate of the current application instance (i.e. it "copies" the application instance and the document)
- add the "hollow" application — after that you drag&drop the desired window, or start a new application instance; it will be "sucked" into the container
- drag&drop a window directly to the container without creating the hollow application
There can be only one hollow application instance for the entire session (all desktops). If the user tries to create a new hollow application instance, the previous one disappears. Existence of the hollow application instance indicates that the next user action will be adding a window to that container (thus drag&drop is easier in such case). Note that dialogs are not "sucked in" (this would be inconvenient if the dialog is the application launcher!).
TAI has special options for incremental adding:
( ) add new entry next to the current one
(*) add new entry as the last one
Disassembling the container
- user can convert any container to any other type (for example FAI to GAI)
- user can tear off any window from the container to other container by drag&drop, even if the source and target containers are different types
From the accepting container's point of view, tearing off is the same as adding a window.
Please note that moving embedded windows within a container and tearing them off are distinct actions. The WM provides an option to control that behavior:
[x] allow tearing off window while rearranging
If this option is turned off, then a window cannot "fall off" the container while being moved.
Closing documents and windows
Empty containers (except for desktop) are not allowed; empty application windows (that is, application windows with no document opened) are allowed.
- close current document
- quit current application
- close current application window/tab
- close current application window/tab siblings (i.e. close all children of the parent, except the current one)
- close parent container of the current application window/tab (not counting desktop)
- close topmost container (not counting desktop)
Closing an entire container means that all windows within the container are closed. Most applications quit when their windows are closed. Some kinds of application may continue to run after their windows are closed (systray applications, in particular, whose systray icons remain after their windows are closed). The use of containers does not change this behavior.
When the window which had focus is closed, focus is given to the next most recent window in the historic bookkeeping. A global option allows this behavior to be changed for TAI containers.
When a window in a tabbed container is closed:
(*) Give focus to the previously-active window
( ) Give focus to the spatially adjacent window
[ ] Give focus to nearest sibling of the same application kind, when possible
The second option prefers the next window, but uses the previous window if the window closed was last in the spatial order.
Close current document
Close current document is only partly in the scope of NWI, as it is implemented at the application level. Applications may:
- not implement close-document
- always close the document, but never close the window
- always close the window
- conditionally close the window
This last case involves NWI communication, likely by sending a 'close-window-conditional' signal to the WM. The window will be closed if the window has at least one sibling (application instance) of the same application kind. When making this decision, "application instances" need not belong to the same process, although they do need to be running on the same machine. (See the glossary for a more precise definition of when application instances are considered as belonging to "the same application".)
The choice of behavior, and if any configuration is available, is left to the application.
Quit application
Quit application is not really in scope of NWI, but since it is related to closing application window(s), we list it for the purpose of reference and to show the difference between those two actions. This document does not address the question whether "quit application" should exit only the active window, the corresponding application process, or all instances of the application (which may belong to more than one process).
- Accept new application (add hollow application)
- Convert to...
- Save set as...

A switcher is a program that lets the user switch from application instance to application instance. Visual appearance is up to the switcher. The user will select one switcher to be the primary switcher; other switchers may be configured as "auxiliary switchers", with any number of auxiliary switchers possible at one time.
The primary switcher is activated by pressing and holding a "mod" key plus another key to make a navigation key. (For example, a navigation key might be [tab] or [shift-tab]; using mod as [alt] gives the switching keys commonly known today.) At that point, the primary switcher is active, and to keep it running, the user must continue to hold the mod key. Releasing the mod key will give focus to the window currently in the switcher; pressing the cancel key (default [escape]) will cancel the switch. Switchers may also (optionally) make use of the mouse.
Auxiliary switchers are triggered by a global key or key combination. The combination need not include a modifier, and it is not needed to hold a modifier to keep the switcher active. The switcher will be operational until the user commits the switch (default [enter]) or cancels the switch.
Mod is any modifier key allowed/recognized by X, except [ctrl] and [shift] — default mod key will likely be [alt] or [win].
When window is a container, after switching to it, focus is given as described at the top of the Features section. Each container remembers the last window to have focus.
Switchers are used for switching (focus change) windows, but they have another purpose: exchanging windows. The user can exchange the marked window with any other one (not only siblings). After exchange, the marked window remains marked (exchange is not switch). Exchange means that windows take each other's "places" in a geometrical sense (which includes position in the container hierarchy).
Initially, the current application instance is marked.
Keyboard shortcut actions
- (window, desktop) sequence switch
- (window, desktop, global) historic switch
- (window, desktop) spatial switch
- (window) container-smart switch
The ones marked "global" switch through all desktops, marked "desktop" switch only on the current desktop, marked "window" are constrained to the parent container of the active window.
In TAI switches spatial up = spatial left and spatial down = spatial right (because of the tabs placement).
Scope of the switches:
- sequence — direct children only
- historic — direct children only
- spatial — all children (i.e. children, grandchildren, and so on...)
Container smart switches:
- GAI — historic
- FAI — historic
- TAI — spatial
User can choose (option) if she/he prefers switch-wrap on or off, for each switcher mode separately. For sequence and historic switching, wrap means after last comes the first (and vice versa); for spatial that after rightmost comes the leftmost, after lowest comes the highest (and vice versa).
Default settings:
[x] sequence wrap
[x] historic wrap
[ ] spatial wrap
Spatial and sequence switching properties
Both of these switching modes are based on window placement, so for TAI container they are equivalent.
The order of the sequence switching depends on KDE language settings (i.e. it is the same as reading "order"). Thus you can call sequence switching as switch-as-you-read (titlebars). It means that container edges are no limits for sequence switch, but they are limits for spatial switch.
Another observation — the window to the right of its neighbor is not always left for spatial switch; that is, spatial-switch-left followed by spatial-switch-right may not put you back where you started. For sequence switch there is such guarantee: when you switch next and then previous, you will always return to the same place.
Default keyboard bindings
How to read it — first goes the container. It means the switch is bounded to that type of container. The second goes action. For example "desktop up" means this actions go to next upper window in current desktop. For auxiliary switchers the default shortcuts are the same, just [mod] key is dropped out (i.e. [left] instead of [win+left]).
|Sequence switch
|window previous
|window next
|desktop previous
|desktop next
|Spatial switch
|window up
|window down
|window right
|window left
|desktop up
|desktop down
|desktop right
|desktop left
|Historic switch
|window back
|window forward
|desktop back
|desktop forward
|global back
|global forward
|Smart switch
|window previous
|window next
|desktop previous
|desktop next
|Other actions
|cancel switch
|commit switch
|[mod+enter] (or just release [mod])
Primary switcher is activated by any of the above (except the last section) and stays active as long as mod is held or until user commits or cancels switch. Cancel does not undo exchanges made.
- application
- An application kind in general sense (e.g. Konqueror). Also refers to the collection of all application instances which are of the same application kind running with the same access class (see below).
- application instance
- See application window. For this page, an instance is not the same as a process.
- application window
- A window of a particular application { usually used when discussing sibling windows where some may be the same application }. A process (as defined by the operating system) may have more than one application window.
- container
- A special type of window which is not an application instance, but contains one or more child windows.
- leaf
- An application instance or other window which is not a container; may also include dialogs, etc.
- root
- The node in the window tree corresponding to the desktop. The root has no parent, and its siblings are the other virtual desktops.
- sibling
- A window belonging to the same direct parent container as a reference window.
- window
- An object (area) in sense of the geometry which is either an application instance or a container.
When considering if two application instances belong to the same application, a number of factors which together comprise the "access class" (roughly referring to the expected permission set possessed by the application instance) are considered. These are the instance's security credentials { for now, only euid is considered } and host machine. Two windows are not considered as belonging to the same application if:
- They are running from different machines (e.g. one local, one remote over X forwarding or specification of a remote X server)
- They were started under different users
- They do not belong to the same X session
It should be noted that the window manager only considers windows under its control — that is, those running in the same X session. An application instance in another session cannot be considered as another instance of an application, since the window manager would not know about such a window.

Iloprost (Ventavis®)
Treatments for Pulmonary Hypertension
Issued by PHA's Scientific Leadership Council. Information is based on the United States Food and Drug Administration drug labeling.
Last Updated November 2013
Download & Print PDF
What is iloprost?
Iloprost is an inhaled medication approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 patients. Iloprost is a synthetic analogue of prostacyclin, a naturally occurring substance in the body, which has effects on dilating blood vessels. Iloprost is administered through a special device called the I-neb Delivery (AAD) System. Iloprost was approved for PAH by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004.
How does iloprost work?
Iloprost works by direct dilation of narrowed blood vessels (arteries) in the lungs. Relaxing and widening of the blood vessels in the lungs decreases the pulmonary blood pressure to the heart and improves its function. This reduces blood pressure in the lungs which generally results in the ability to be more active.
How is iloprost given? (Please see package insert for full details)
Iloprost is inhaled through the mouth through a special device: the I-neb® AAD® System (a device which delivers medication to your lungs). The device is compact, portable and lightweight.
The I-neb AAD System is small—about 6 inches by 2 inches—and it has an internal rechargeable battery so the medication can be taken almost anywhere at any time. Iloprost should be inhaled as prescribed by a physician, usually 6-9 times a day, but not more often than every 2 hours. If a treatment session is missed or interrupted, therapy should be resumed as soon as possible at the usual dose.
How is iloprost supplied?
Iloprost comes in 1 mL small vials that can be stored at room temperature.
There are 2 concentrations: 10 mcg/mL and 20 mcg/mL.
The delivered dose varies as in the table below.
Delivered Dose
Delivered Dose
10 mcg/mL
20 mcg/mL
I-neb® AAD®
2.5 mcg or 5.0 mcg from 1 ampule
5.0 mcg from 1 ampule
For each inhalation session, the entire contents of each opened ampule should be transferred into the I-neb® AAD® System medication chamber immediately before use.
The 20 mcg/mL solution may be inhaled in half the time that it takes to inhale the 10 mcg/ml concentration. Patient's physicians will decide which dose is right for them.
How can a patient obtain iloprost?
Iloprost is a limited distribution medication which means it cannot be purchased at a local pharmacy. It must be prescribed by a physician and insurance approval must be obtained prior to starting therapy. Once approved by insurance, iloprost is then sent directly to patients by either of two specialty pharmacies: Accredo Health Inc. or CVS Caremark.
A specialty pharmacy works with the patient to train them on the I-neb AAD—the device used to take iloprost.
Will insurance pay for iloprost?
It is expected that most health insurance plans will pay part of the cost of this medication. However, some plans still leave patients with a high out-of-pocket responsibility.
Depending on your insurance type, you may be eligible for assistance from the company that manufactures your therapy or from a non-profit charitable assistance organization. For more information visit www.PHAssociation.org/Help or call 301-565-3004.
What are the frequent side effects of iloprost?
The most common side effects of iloprost include:
- Flushing of the skin
- Increased cough
- Low blood pressure
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Jaw pain
- Passing out
Iloprost may cause side effects including feeling dizzy, lightheaded and passing out. If you have any of these side effects, you should stand up slowly when you get out of chairs or bed. Tell your doctor if your passing out gets worse during treatment with iloprost. Your doctor may need to change your dose or treatment.
Do not drive a car or operate any tools or machines if dizziness or passing out from low blood pressure is a problem for you. You may have trouble breathing after taking iloprost, because it may cause the muscles around your airway to tighten (bronchospasm). Get emergency help right away if you have trouble breathing.
How are side effects of iloprost monitored?
Vital signs should be monitored while initiating iloprost. Iloprost should generally be avoided if the systemic systolic blood pressure is below 85 mmHg.
Iloprost has not been evaluated in pregnant women or women who are breastfeeding. It should be used in pregnant or nursing mothers only if the potential benefit justifies the risk to the fetus or infant.
Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients has not been established, and this drug should not be used in patients under 18 years of age.
Clinical studies did not include a sufficient number of patients over age 65 to determine either safety or efficacy.
Iloprost has not been evaluated in patients with impaired liver function; however, consideration should be given to increasing the dosing interval (e.g. 3 – 4 hours between doses) in patients with moderate to severe liver impairment.
Iloprost has not been evaluated in patients with impaired kidney function. Likewise, the effect of dialysis is unknown.
Could a patient be allergic to iloprost?
This is possible, but unlikely.
What are important drug interactions with iloprost? (Please see package insert for full details)
There is potential risk when iloprost is used with medicines used to treat systemic high blood pressure or heart problems of low systemic blood pressure and passing out. Iloprost has the potential to increase risk of bleeding, particularly in patients maintained on blood thinners (e.g. heparin, warfarin, clopidogrel, dabigantran). Patients should discuss with the medications (including over the counter and herbal preparations) they are currently taking with their physician so that any potential or known drug to drug interactions can be avoided.

Working with clients with lower back pain can be an extremely challenging and yet, incredibly rewarding experience. In order to effectively work with a growing population of clients who suffer from low back pain – according to statistics, almost 80% of your clients have suffered from at least one episode of back pain – personal trainers need to learn not only HOW to work with these clients, but also how to grow their business from it.
There is an endless array of sources of lower back pain – mechanical back pain caused by trauma or injury or visceral back pain caused by some disease of the internal organs such as pancreatitis, prostatitis, aortic aneurysm, infection, tumor, etc. For the purposes of this discussion, we will assume that you're working with a client who is suffering from mechanical back pain and as such, you will be able to help them.
Due to the growing complexity of low back pain (where it comes from, how to get rid of it, and how to prevent it from coming back), the healthcare profession has virtually exhausted all of its resources (medications and surgeries) trying to figure out an extremely complex problem that doesn't seem to be going away. As such, they are looking to you, the fitness professional, to help them manage their clients and improve their clinical outcomes.
Whether it's the run-of-the-mill ache and pain, or the "I can't get out of bed" type of back pain, one thing is certain – low back pain simply hurts. The two questions that seem to pop up again and again in the fitness profession are these:
- Once I learn how to modify my clients' workout programs to help them prevent low back pain in the future, how do I get the word out about my new knowledge and experience?
- How do I reach out to the healthcare profession in hopes of developing a mutually-beneficial relationship?
Great questions.

With the ultimate goals to help people improve their quality of life and build your business, here are 3 things you can do to: (1) increase your "brand" as an expert who can help clients with low back pain, (2) build a marketing platform by creating high-value information pieces, and (3) plug your services within the healthcare community:
- Stake your claim: An effective way of letting club members know that you are starting to work with clients with lower back pain is to deliver a lecture where you talk about some of the most common causes of lower back pain, and what they can do to their current fitness program that will help prevent their pain from coming back.
- Spread the word: In this viral age of information sharing (via blogs, twitter, facebook), you need to get the word out about your newfound knowledge and expertise. To do that, you need to create valuable content that you can share with the world. Write a 500-word blog post, create a short newsletter, whitepaper, or e-book; record a two- to five- minute YouTube video of you demonstrating several back-strengthening exercises; post a 10-minute audio clip of you teaching people how to modify their current exercise program. Whatever vehicle you choose, remember that your content is your introduction to the world, not just the members of your club. So make sure it's highly-valuable content, cite your sources where necessary, and be prepared for an added boost of popularity.
- Reach out: In order to build bridges between you and the healthcare community (primary care physicians, chiropractors, physical therapists, etc.), you need to have a solid level of understanding of the various back conditions (disc herniation, arthritis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, etc.). One of the most common reasons healthcare professionals don't encourage their low back patients to work with personal trainers is because they are afraid that the fitness professional either: (1) isn't qualified to work with their patients, or (2) will make their problems worse. Prove them wrong!
Invite members of the healthcare community to your low back pain prevention lecture (even though they will probably not be able to attend, they will recognize the fact that you are a needed expert in this area); e-mail them with a link to your blog, newsletter, whitepaper, etc. further demonstrating your expertise. The more the healthcare professional sees you as the "go-to" resource for training people with low back pain, within a relatively short time, you may have more business than you know what to do with.
Whether you build your personal training business from the inside out (working with current club members and clients), or you build it from the outside in (working with clients referred to you from the healthcare community), when working with clients with low back pain, you have an incredible opportunity to not only increase your revenue, but make a tremendous impact on the quality of people's lives.

What's the best way to set up a consultation or an appointment with a mover during the COVID-19 pandemic?
If you're trying to set up a consultation or an appointment with a mover during the COVID-19 pandemic, make sure to use digital tools to avoid exposure. When searching for movers online, ask if they'd be willing to do a video chat to assess the size of your move. This will be in place of the typical "walk-through" they perform, and they may be able to give you a price quote. You can also discuss safe strategies for completing the job during your call or video chat.
Are there ways to be safe if I hire a mover when social distancing?
If you decide to hire a mover, consider making adjustments to accommodate current guidelines. This may involve staying outside while the mover works inside your home or letting the mover handle only parts of the move.
It's important to follow social distancing guidelines while performing any service work. For example, do not make physical contact with the movers, maintain at least 6 feet of distance between you at all times, and use digital payments instead of cash or a check.
Does a mover need to enter my home?
A mover will likely need to enter your home -- unless you've placed all of your belongings outside beforehand. To stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, you might to consider keeping all (or most) of the work outside and/or having at-risk individuals leave the house while the movers work.
You can minimize exposure by doing a preliminary walk-through by video call instead of in person. Discuss your options with the top movers near you before hiring one.
Do movers offer remote or virtual services?
Movers generally need to be present to do their job. But if you come across a mover's profile that states they're offering remote services, you can contact them to see what those services include.
How can I find out if a mover is considered an essential COVID-19 service provider?
Your local city or state's government website is a great resource if you're trying to figure out whether a mover is considered an essential service provider during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For a source of national guidelines, visit the CISA website's Identifying Critical Infrastructure During COVID-19. On this page, you'll find 16 categories of critical infrastructure sectors. But note that some -- not all -- jurisdictions follow CISA's definitions of critical infrastructure.
Can I use digital payments to pay for moving services?
Most local moving companies are likely to accept some form of digital payment. Particularly with the COVID-19 pandemic, more companies are likely to conduct transactions through platforms like PayPal, Zelle, Square Cash, Venmo, Google Pay and more.
To ensure the mover accepts a platform you can use, you can peruse the mover's online profile and see what is listed there. You can also ask the mover about payment policies during a consultation call.

Today in the news: Top state moves: Legal marijuana, tax on rich
News to know
Other big stories coming out of Election Day were two states legalizing marijuana, two states approving gay marriage and California approving a tax on the rich. California voters passed a measure to charge different tax rates depending on how much money people make. The richest people in the state will pay the most in taxes. In Maine and Maryland, voters approved same-sex marriage, the first times such measures were passed by popular vote. And in Washington state and Colorado, voters legalized recreational marijuana – but the Drug Enforcement Administration on Wednesday reminded the states that it was still illegal on the federal level.
Quote of note
"President Obama's re-election does two things. It frees President Obama to be able to work with the Republican Congress, and it frees the Republican Congress to be able to work with President Obama." - Republican strategist Ana Navarro, talking Wednesday about how she expects the president and Congress to work together the next four years. Former President Bill Clinton recently said the same thing.

7 Sunflowers We Love
Dazzling blooms and surprising hues give sunflowers real flower power. Try one—or more!—of these towering, sun-loving annuals to boost the fun factor in your Midwest garden.
A sunflower for every garden
There's no easier place to find sunflowers than the Midwest. Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota grow more than 85 percent of the U.S. crop. Starting in late July, vast stretches of sunflowers unfold their yellow blossoms, turning Midwest fields into swaying seas of gold.
More than 100 sunflower annual varieties stretch from 2-foot dwarves to 16-foot mammoths. Flowers range in size from a couple of inches in diameter to a foot and bloom in a wide spectrum of hues including white, cream, golden yellow, fiery orange and burgundy red. Shapes include single, double and fluffy semidouble flower heads.
Click ahead to find out about 7 sunflowers we especially love, along with tips on growing and cutting sunflowers.
'Giant Sungold'
This 'Teddy Bear' type features fluffy 10-inch flowers atop 6- to 7-foot-tall branching plants. The dense double blooms look great paired with single-bloomers.
'Lyng's California Greystripe'
For edible seeds, plant this 7-foot-tall mammoth variety. A single, 6-inch yellow flower produces tasty seeds perfect for drying and roasting. Birds love it, too.
'Starburst Lemon Aura'
This 4-foot beauty features multibranching stems with pollenless starburst-type blooms. The pale yellow flowers are perfect in pastel bouquets.
'Moulin Rouge'
Deep burgundy petals surround an ebony center, creating a velvety look. Side stems on this 4- to 6-foot-tall sunflower are stronger than most multibranching varieties.
'Music Box'
These knee-high dwarves bloom in yellow, gold, cream and mahogany bicolors. The bushy plants are prolific bloomers and jazz up beds, borders and window boxes.
'ProCut' Series
Popular among professional growers, the series is day-length neutral (day length doesn't affect blooming period), making them early bloomers (50 days to mature). Their 3- to 4-inch-diameter pollenless flowers bloom in vivid hues—lemon, orange, peach and red/lemon bicolor—atop strong 5- to 6-foot plants. Pictured: 'ProCut Peach'
This is the first sunflower to win an All-America Selections award. Sturdy stems support lots-up to 25 flowers per plant-of 4- to 6-inch-diameter bright orange blooms for summer-long bouquets.
Sunflower growing tips
Plant in full sun. The sunflower name refers to more than appearance. The genus name, Helianthus, comes from the Greek helios (sun) and anthos (flower). Appropriately, sunflowers give the best show with six to eight hours of direct sunlight every day.
Give tall varieties space. Plant five to six seeds 1 inch deep and water the soil. Seedlings will appear in five to 10 days. When they get to be about 3 inches tall, thin them down to the three healthiest. After they reach 2 feet, thin them down to one.
Keep them fed. Sunflowers deplete soil rapidly, so replenish nutrients each season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or organic matter.
Set the scene. Plant sunflowers with other fast-growing, sun-loving annuals and biannuals such as castor bean (with coordinating big foliage), hollyhocks (complementary heights) and zinnias (in a matching color). Plant morning glories that scramble up the stems. Or plant a single row along a tall fence and wait for their faces to peek over, watching for another summer sunrise.
Cut-flower beauty
A no-fuss personality and long vase life make sunflowers a favorite among cut-flower growers.To get the most from your sunflowers:
Time your planting. Plant in spring when day and night temperatures stay above 50 degrees. The flowers hit their stride in hot, humid weather. To ensure fresh blooms for market every week, stagger plantings a couple of weeks apart.
Cut early in the day. For long-lasting blooms, cut sunflowers in early morning when petals unfurl.
Keep water fresh. With fresh water every other day, arrangements can last 10 days.
