I want to generate a unique id which will be used in URLs to identify a specific resource. In principle it is the same as pastebin.com etc. does.
The id and resource is not very secret but I want it to be so you just can't decrement a id and then get another users resource. I´m thinking of a
CHAR(8) which will look nice in a URL and still be large enough to reduce the chance of guesses. But how do I generate this? For an INT, you can use
auto_increment and
primary key to insure the uniqueness.
But if I do the following in order
- Generate a
CHAR(8)in my application
- Insure that this ID doesn't exists.
- If it not exists, store, else goto 1.
I have to wrap 2. and 3. in a atomic transaction.
But is there a better way? or shouldn't I care about the the check (2.) because a clash doesn't occur regularly. I use MySql and .Net (C#) if that helps. Is it possible to somehow 'encrypt' a auto-incremented int as the text-id and decrypt it again in precisely 8 (or 10) characters.
I have read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/529647/need-a-smaller-alternative-to-guid-for-db-id-but-still-unique-and-random-for-url which was useful, but the use of GUID is not supported in MySql (as far as I know). But a comment on the quality of the
LongToShortCode method in the thread would also be appreciated.
Note: the resources can't be changed, only viewed.

Husband doesn't agree that ADHD is real - HELP
I was prescribed adderall about a month ago. I started taking it while he was on a three week trip out of the country and for the first time in my life, felt in control and level headed and able to focus. I was so happy I had finally found a solution that worked for me. I went off the meds after two weeks, after finding out that I'm pregnant, so I'm trying natural supplements that are ok with pregnancy for now. I'm not necessarily considering stopping meds all together, though, after I've finished breastfeeding this baby (in about a year and a half).
Here's the hard part: even though I'm not even on them now, my husband can't stand the idea of me taking any kind of meds because he thinks I am addicted (because I like how they work for me), and because he thinks it's a direct betrayal of him because he would never use medication. He's never even been around to see how focused and motivated I can be on meds. He calls my meds legal cocaine and said that our marriage was not worth staying with a drug addict. :( I took the exact prescribed dosage for the prescribed time. He also says in order to make sure our 2 year old daughter and our next baby never take meds in their lifetime, he will say anything negative about me to make sure they know that "mom can't cope unless she has help from something besides her own will."
HELP! I know I'm trying something totally new right now, but we can't sweep this meds discussion under the rug until I go on them again in a year and a half. Is this crossing a line for him? Shouldn't this be my decision about my own well-being? Am I wrong in telling him that I ultimately have the final say on what I put in my body?
Am I missing something?
I understand to a point your husband not wanting you on those drugs, but he needs to realize they may be what you need. But, they should be a last resort.
My daughter-in-law is ADHD. As a child her mother controlled it with diet. Since you are pregnant, this will be a good time to try diet. You may find it will work just as good as amphetamines without the dangers.
I have a grandson who they labeled this. Personally, I believe his biggest problem is emotional but the other grandparents which he lives with choose to medicate him. They have him so convinced he needs the meds to behave. When we have him and the meds wear off in the evening, I just remind him that he is responsible for his actions. Since he is aware of the behavior problems he has, he can control this. When I would tell him to stop he would try to blame it on his ADHD and that is when I remind him he is in control. Know what: he does control himself when held accountable for his actions.
I sincerely wish I could get his grandmother to try diet instead of pills. When I suggested it her comment was: that would cost more money and take more work. His diet now is fried food, processed and sugar. With us I cook from scratch, raw vegies and fruit.
Please try the diet and see if it works. And, let us know. As to you husband, he needs to realize there is a need for both natural medicine and medical. If not then he is doing his patients a disservice. I go to a chiropractor regularly, plus a naturopath, but neither will tell me that there is never a need for a medical doctor. I believe there is a need for all.
You raise many ethical questions here. Lets start with the medication. I'm not sure of the addictiveness of adderal. it's probably a conntrolled substance, but it isn't a narcotic, big differance. I've researched every med that I take for my Bi-polar, which mimics ADHD in many ways. I've not been diagnosed ADHD, but I 100% have the traits for ADHD. Some of the meds I take for bi-polar are also used for ADHD. So, my suggestion is to research your medications and talk with your doctor so when you do have the med discussion with your husband, you'll be fully knowledgeable.
I could say a chiropractor is not a real doctor, many believe so. I believe so. I think there a lot of quack chiropractors out there. I'm not saying your husband is a quack, but as a general rule, they don't believe in meds as a pain killer or anthing also that may help symptoms. So, that's an ethical question that is your husbands believe. There is probably no way in argueing his ethic since it sounds deeply engrained. A psyciatrist is a doctor also and would disagree, as such as an MD or dentist would. Pain whether it be physiological or psychological is pain. There is just differant ways of treating it and it shows itself in diferent forms.
Just because you like how a med works for you certainly does not make you an addict. For your husband to make a statement about saying negative things about you is going to insure that his child or children will never take drugs is probably one of the most negative and niave thing he could say. He needs the shrink if he truly believes that. In fact, he may drive them the other way, and they end up abusers out of curiousity to check out if what dad is saying is true. My mother tried to teach me every "golden rule" in the book and guess what, I've broken them all or at least most of them, many times over. These were not "bootstrap' issues either. Theses were issues that dealt with her attitude of do as I say, not as I do. Your husband is treating you as a child, being educated, he should no better. This particular point bothers me to pit one parent against another, it's not a marriage in my book.
Just because he would never use medication, and the question here in my mind is, would he use it even if it was going to cure him of an otherwise incurrable disease? Does he believe in children getting immunizations to stop the spread of chicken pox, mallaria and so forth? many a Jehovah Witnessess, an occult, believe the same way and have refused treatment on their families and was met with dire results. You will have to define all of these questions of ethics with him in order to break down the barriers, maybe not convince him, but at least realize that his viewpoints are flat wrong!
Lat, but not least, don't worry about crossing his line, only your own. This is a question only you can answer. I am preparing to talk to my psychiatrist about ADHD, I have all the problems with focus, being distracted, not organized and all the rest. This goes back to childhood. I'm quite smart, but, I could do things a lot easier if I had some treatment for ADHD. Who knows how far I could go. I'm 55, and I'm going to school to become a teacher, or i may consider psychology or information science and healthcare infomatics. Undecided to say the least. I would like to try them all, but I need another 50 years.
You are not wrong in telling him that you have the final say in this issue. Ethically, it is for your good and the good of those around you. I do not see a selfish motive or gain on your part in this instance. To me, that is a good ethical balance to use when making these decisions. Do you believe in punishing yourself?
I understand your dilema. I was recently diagnosed with ADD at 35 yrs old. I had always been diagnosed with depression since I decided to seek therapy until I started seeing my current Dr. and she diagnoed me with me with ADD. I, at first was sceptical, because I also felt that it was "over diagnosed". Then, as a recently divorced female, I told my family I was told I had ADD. My mother disagreed with this diagnosis along with some friends. I was told "you don't have ADD!" I was confused, so I did my own research and found a book about ADD/ADHD in women called "Women With Attention Deficit Disorder" by Sari Solden,MS,MFCC. Read it, you will relate. I wish I had advice on how to make you're husband understand, but I don't. ADD is a chemical imbalance in the brain which can be treated with drugs AND therapy.
I have tryed Vyvanse and Adderol. They both made me feel "clearer" and more focused. I prefer the Adderol( I'm probly not spelling it right) because I can control when I need it. Anyway, I hope this helps a little to know that someone else understands.
Good Morning,
I was reading over your post, and I would like to clarify something that you stated.
I have been one of Jehovah's Witnesses for more than thirty years.
I raised my children as such. All three of my children received their normal immunizations.
I think you may have us confused with a few other religions whom do not receive medical treatment.
I also would like to clarify that I voluntered at my children's school for eleven years, participated in various social events, took them to many musical and dance classes. Most people in a "cult" environment do not participate with the community as a family or individual.
I think you will find that Jehovah's Witnesses are in every aspect of life.
It was a Fireman whom was a Jehovah's Witness who went back into the Twin Towers during 911 to help rescue those poor people. He died doing so.
I hope some day you will investigate our belifes a little more, perhaps it will help you have a different opinion.
While it is true we avoid taking whole blood and blood products, based on the following scriptures: Leviticus 17:14 and Acts 15:28,29 we have a medical committie to help the Doctors adminster non-blood medical management.
As Jehovah's Witnesses we do not want to die, but try to preserve life like any other normal human would, but not to the extent of breaking God's Law. There are now hospitals around the world who do surgeries with out the use of blood transfusions. My own son who fell from a three story roof at the age of twenty four had a nine hour back surgery with out the use of blood.
ADD is not an easy condition to live with, I have a family member suffering from this condition. I hope the young woman in question will get the help she needs.
I have to agree that your husband is verbally abusive and you need to get some help, NOW!
My husband hates when I take meds for anything but it isn't his life! I believe you are making really good and safe choices. You chose to go off your meds when you found out you were pregnant and now you have some time to look for other options that may or may not work for you. Talk to your doctor(s) about what your husband has said and ask them to note it in your chart - in case you need it later - and also have them note what you are doing now. Also, look into divorice laws/rules in your state - not so you can file but so you can learn what your husband can and cannot do. You may find that most courts would find him to be the parent who "is causing problems." The courts in my area hate when parents try to pull this stuff and it counts against the parent who files the unfounded complaint.
I take about 20 pills a day. Many are vitamins but I take four just for my blood pressure (We can't seem to find anything that works more than a couple of weeks.) I have four boys ages 8 to 17. None of them take medication on a regular basis and I often throw away tylenol because it has expired. My children generally see their doctor once per year for their checkups - they are rarely sick. I didn't make them "drug addicts." They understand that you only take what you need when you need it following a doctor's perscription. They do take a multivitamin if I remember to give it to them or they remember to take it. :-)
I believe that you have to do what is right for you. It is not your husband's life and it sounds like he wants to control you. If you stand up to him and just say "This is how it is" he may back down. My husband has for the most part but it's taken us 6 years to get here! He still throws it in my face sometimes when we argue but I try to just ignore whatever comments he makes about it. I am a happier, better person when I take the meds that the doctors have recommended and that is what matters most to me and my children.
Good luck. You may find that you discover something else that works for you and this is no longer a concern.
Hello, Fit Momma
What you have to remember here is your husband is a chiropractor and not a physician?
And if he is around your age he?s still young and still learning. Just about seven years ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was 39 years old, before then I did not know what having a life was, or what it was about, Or what it could be. at one point I thought I was slowly losing my mind Everything was just so frustrating to me. My life did not make any sense to me, and I made everybody around me miserable. I would verbally abuse my wife and son I had fits of rage with family And friends I was just plan out of control. I should also mention my son and my bother also have ADHD. One day I had to bring my son To his Doctors appointment, as I sat there and listened to the Doctor talk to my son and test him again, I say test because any good doctor would test to help avoid a miss diagnosis, your husband should know this, it sounds
Like he knows everything else! Anyhow as I sat there listening and things started to click and fit in to place I asked the doctor if it were possible for an adult to have ADHD because my son and I had so much in common in our behavior and actions I told the Doctor about my situation and ? humbly ? my behavior in the past. so she decided to test me While I was there. I found out that day I was ADHD I had an answer to my problem. she started me On adderall also. After a few days, wow did life change for me. I became calm and so much more patient, my thoughts quit racing as they always did. I became a completely different person like I always wanted to be. So much so, that about a year Later, one night my wife and I were watching television and she started looking at me, I looked back and asked what was wrong, She smiled at me and said, nothing s wrong I just want to tell you?ve become The man I always wanted to be married to, that was great to hear. all this to say that if you feel better On the adderall, and things are changing in you for the better take it! do what you feel is right for you. just remember you are the one living with this, not your husband you have to wake up in the morning and deal With it on a daily basis not your husband. You need to tell your husband to pull himself Up by the bootstraps and be a man! and a good husband! and support you in your decision to help yourself. It sounds like he is a very insecure individual. if he is doing, and saying all these things he?s not being a Good husband or model for your kids to see as a father he needs to think about that! I really think he Needs to talk to a doctor or get some counseling for himself!! I wouldn?t worry about how he feels about It. when you start taking your meds, if he really loves you what he is doing and saying will pass. I?d Tell him to grow up and become your husband.
This is my first response to this board, but I idenify with fitmomma.
I don't feel you are missing anything. When we are in the situation it is common to feel confused & fustrated.
My husband also was against me taking meds for my out-of- cotrol bipolar. I was unstable without meds but did not know it. Although, unlike your husband that voiced his objections, my husband kept his motives unknown to me. Long story short, I had a breakdown right after my father died. I also had a battle with CPS over my son [another story :)] Then my husband decided to leave me. All in the same month I lost three important men in my life. For that I was in 3 hospitals, for 5 months. I had gut feelings to go to a new doctor, etc. but my husband did not seem to support me in doing it. Lesson: he is afraid & under- educated mental health. I still pray that he will learn mental health is not an area to be scared of, but to be educated on.
It is not all sad to share, I have now been on meds 3.5 years and MAN!, there is a big difference. Like night and day. I can see the day as something to overcome, instead of being taken captive. It's not a big mood swing of life for me. I really wish, hope and pray that my husband (now my ex) could see this now too.
So, if you're seeking input from others here, my advice to you:
- *TAKE CARE OF YOU & your children. If someone that loves you does not want you to be healthy and your best, then you MUST take care of your health. If you don't, who will??
- *Try to find outside sources of friends, counselors, dr, church friends that are tried and true to be your support system to turn to when you need an uplift, or advice, referrals.
- *Don't listen to your husband when mouths off. He also sounds afraid of what he does not know. If you choose to listen to him, say in your head 'he does not know what he talks of'. He IS mentally abusing you and that is not loving nor supportive. If he will agree, to a trial period of you being on the meds to let him see the difference, that could ease his fears a bit. He may never come around, prepare for that too.
Being young when you are finally diagnosised, is a good sign. As others pointed out, becoming educated about your meds, symptoms, other conditions will help you educate others and be assertive FOR yourself. I hear a lot where you do stand up for yourself, you go girl!!! Keep going. I hope it helps to know others have been thru the confusion you've experiencing now. Your physical health as well as emotional health are important. Wishing you well.

I don't know what you can do with your husband if he is that close-minded. My guess is that he has severe control issues, usually the result of self-esteem problems.
I do know that I flunked out of college because I couldn't concentrate, and when I re-enrolled after working for two years I still had the problems. My will power didn't work because my mind invariably went somewhere else immediately. I only was able to graduate and get a job because of my memory and recall. My work career was very uncomfortable because of the same reasons, and it wasn't until I was in my late 50's that I was diagnosed. I started on Ritalin and my planning and organizing improved very quickly. I still have problems but nowhere what I used to experience.
You should be the person who decides what medications or treatments you take. By the same token your husband has the right to decide what treatments he takes. It should not be necessary to ask for his approval to get treatment for anything. You are an adult and that right is guaranteed by our legal system. My son's reaction when people criticize his decisions and apply labels is to simply say: "You're Darn Right", and keep doing what he believes is best for him and his family.
I shrug my shoulders and ignore what others say. I tune them out.
I personally would be thrilled if my husband took the first steps to determine he has ADD!. I would be content to work together with him and a life coach to communicate better, and do things that help him to stay on focus and more organized, to help him feel more incontrol of his life. The problem is that he does not believe there is anything that points to ADD in him, though he has done several online tests that say otherwise. As a special education teacher, my husband is classic ADD. I feel resentful and mistreated as I feel I must always take care of him and his needs.
I commend you for taking steps to help yourself. I am sorry that this has caused you stress in your marriage though. You are so brave and so wonderful to me.
His wife,
Would your husband object if the meds were for a heart condition or diabetes? There is no difference in my mind.
I don't like to medicate myself or my family but sometimes there is just no way around it!
My youngest daughter takes medications for ADHD. She is a well adjusted 17 year old who goes to school, is active in clubs, works and volunteers for a local coalition which fights against tobacco, alcohol and other drug abuse. She is able to do all this because of her medication.
When she was first diagnosed my husband was against her being on meds. She took the lowest dose possible and she saw a therapist, I monitored her diet and got her involved in physical activity. Not until she began her current regiem of meds did she begin to have success in managing her condition. She takes Straterra, Adderall and Clonidine.
She is very carefully monitored by both her doctor and myself for adverse side effects or possible abuse. I am happy to say neither have occured.
Your husband is being unreasonable, controlling and verbally abusive. Please seek help in these areas. Your situation will only get worse if you allow these things to continue.
Hi FitMomma...
I am an RN and have a 23 year old daughter, in grad school majoring in psychology, who was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I'll tell you, it was a real relief to have a diagnosis so she could finally work on a treatment. She always had to work a bit harder than everyone else seemed to to keep up her grades. Couldn't figure out how her friends had so much time to socialize when they too were full time students. She was trying to balance a bit too much and it tipped her over the edge...grades dropped...she was frustrated and embarrassed, waited too long to ask for help, and ended up loosing a year of college.
On academic probation, she finally approached her advisor and saught help through the counseling center. She was referred to an amazing Phychologist, who suffered the same problem at the same age and stage of her education, and put my daughter through an endless battery of tests and worked with her to learn some compensation, techniques. Together with drug therapy, she is once again a functionally balanced and confidently productive young woman.
Your husband might argue that this is a subjective diagnosis..., and to some degree, it is, but facts are facts. UCSD hosted an expert in this field and televised a fabulous symposium on the two types of ADHD. Opened my eyes and those of our family practitioner! My daughter didn't have the typical symptoms of having trouble sitting still or acting out when she was younger. She didn't feel the need to be the center of attention and she never got involved with drugs. She was the other type...the quiet, very shy child. She never raised her hand in class and always had to be encouraged to get involved. She usually had one or two very good friends and preferred to blend in.
Bottom line, the field of psychology is not black and white and is still in its infancy, regarding diagnosing ADHD. I believe that "teachers were over-diagnosing" by targeting active children, who were disrupting the class or demanding a lot of attention, as likely "Ritalin" (aka Methylphenidate) candidates. We've come a long way from those days.
My daughter was feeling really well, soaring through life, and decided to stop her meds. She slipped right back. She is not looking for a quick fix or an easy out, just some balance. She deserves it...and so do you. If your husband loves you and is looking out for your best interest, he will be open minded and do some research. Suggest he try the Department of Psychology at UCSD or reach their Medical Library. They have students that will help him with the research. Hang in there.
I am a 53 year old woman and was finally diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago. I also have boderline bi-polar and OCD. Quite the mixture. But after many medications by many unfit doctors and one grand mall seizure; I found a wonderful psychiatrist who finalally listened and asked the right questions. I have been on the right medications now for 5 years and my life has completely done a 360.
My son is 27 he is also ADHD with symtoms of depresssion. It took a nervous breakdown to get him to a psychiatrist. He still will not admit that he has ADHD. I find that the lessor of the Mental Illnesses out there. I can now focus. I am on a new drug, which I had to fight to get. Concerta. My eyes were opened for the first time in 40 years. My son is so creative, has 3 beautiful daughters, has a wonderful wife. He was a horrible teenager, always in trouble with the law. He has be detoxing off alchol. He will not quit smoking the funny stuff. He has a great job. So far He still has it. He dosen't want it. He is seeing a therapist. He likes her. He won't take a mood stabilizer but is on clorazapam which is just making him sleep more. His daughter who is 8 is also exhibing sighns in school and at home of ADHD. What frustrates me the most he can see it with her. Yet not with himself.
Men just do not want to admit they have this problem. I have told him how much better he will feel. He is on effexor for the depression. He hates it. But won't speak up. I told him talk to your therapist, she will go with you to the Psychiatrist. You have ADHD it is in the family. Yes depression to. Spit it out. He just won't do it.
He is a pacer, up all night. When he is here for dinner the knees go all the time. He can't read a book, watch a tv show. I could not live with him. I hope your husband reads this. Get the help, your life will be so much better. Otherwise your life will be a blackhole, you will crash at some point, my son did.
I hope your pregnancy went well and you're enjoying that baby. I just had my fourth in Sept of 2009. About a year and a half before I was diagnosed with ADHD. My husdand is also a Dr. but mot a medical one, he is a dentist and was a RN earlier in his life and worked in ERs. He also believes many people are over medicated. However after many difficult years with our daughter we finally had her evaluated and diagnosed with ADHD. I had a harder time with it at first and read the book "Blue Genes" by Paul Meier MD, Todd Clements MD, Jean-Luc Bertrand DMD, and David Mandt Sr. MA. I must tell you I picked up this book I was hoping it would validate my reasoning for choosing not to medicate my daughter, however the opposite happened. Instead I realized that ADHD is just as validate of an illness as diabetes is. Would I deny her insulin if she needed it? No, I would not. The difference we saw in her once we began her on the meds was enormous!! As the process with dealing with her ADHD began to unfold I finally came to the realization and diagnosis that I do had ADHD. Once I began Adderall I couldn't believe the difference! My husband could tell immediately that it was helping me. I was able to finish what I started, get things done that needed to be done. Remember things without having to turn the van around and go back to the house for the third thing I yet forgot, and I was not so irritated and feeling out of control. I am finished up with breastfeeding and already had an appointment with my family doctor to start up my adderall. Yes I was willing to go ff of it for my baby, but for the well being of the household and most importantly for myself I am looking forward to taking my med's again.
I would love to hear an update, I hope you are doing well!

December 1, 2015
CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) - The families of victims of the Colorado theater shooting sat through emotional testimony Monday from police officers who tried to save the lives of the wounded.
One sergeant recalled during the hearing for suspected gunman James Holmes that he checked and did not find a pulse for the youngest victim, 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan.
Another who drove the wounded to the hospital said he had to stop one man worried about his 7-year-old daughter from jumping out of the moving patrol car.
A bearded Holmes didn't appear to show any emotion. One woman sat with her head buried in her hands during the testimony about Veronica.
Investigators say Holmes opened fire during the midnight showing of the latest Batman movie on July 20, killing 12 people and wounding dozens.

April saw some neat startups launch in Australia and also huge funding news for one well-established name.
1. Record funding for email marketing platform Campaign Monitor
Australian email marketing platform Campaign Monitor has raised US$250 million in funding from American VC firm Insight Venture Partners. The funds will be used for expansion to the US and Europe as well as for acquisitions. Owners Dave Greiner and Ben Richardson have bootstrapped the business to date. Campaign Monitor has 100,000 paying customers in 19 countries.
The equity stake in exchange for the investment is not disclosed, but it is estimated that the latest funding pegs Campaign Monitor's value at US$600 million. This is an exciting time for the Australian ecosystem and represents the largest amount ever raised for an Australian startup. They've done it their way with an office on the beach in Sutherland with 40 local staff.
2. New app for hip furniture
Are you tired of the same assemble-it-yourself furniture for your home? If you're like me, you've probably bought a lot of furniture from Ikea and can easily spot it at your friend's place. Couchelo is a mobile app that intends to change this. Couchelo is a curated marketplace that features unique, retro, pre-loved and handmade furniture and houseware.
Users of the app can browse, sell, and buy items. Noticing that a lot of the the 4,400 furniture stores in Australia do not have a proper web presence, Couchelo founders Si-Si Dai, William Fan, and Fei Yao intend to bring furniture makers into the online marketplace. The app encourages shoppers to be environmentally responsible when buying items for their home. I was browsing the app and found some unique items listed like this Kodak Brownie Camera and this 1970's Woven Wicker Rattan Sideboard:
Going through the app and the photos on Couchelo's Facebook page reminds me of my childhood. I reckon this app will be a hit in Melbourne where I've seen a lot of retro furniture. You can read more about Couchelo in their interview with Shoestring.
Couchelo has an app for iPhone.
3. Women-focused angels invest in logo-search app
Female-focused angels Scale Investors has syndicated its second deal with See-Out, a visual search technology company. Their product, CeeQTM, is an enterprise-oriented search engine for visual searches of trademarks and logos.
User can upload a picture of a trademark and CeeQTM uses image recognition to find similar registered trademarks. Traditionally, logo searches have been conducted manually, requiring searchers to look through catalogues of written descriptions about the logos and visual designs. The search engine will be useful for trademark attorneys, brand managers, and graphic designers.
The startup is a spin-off from national research agency NICTA. It is the brainchild of Sandra Mau, a robotics engineer and former NICTA computer vision researcher. The seed amount Scale Investors is allotting See-Out is undisclosed. Read more about these investors in this newspaper piece.
4. Blackbird Ventures raises AU$25 million to fund more startups
Blackbird Ventures is only a year old, but this young startup fund has raised its target of AU$25 million. The pooled funds are intended to finance startups up to AU$500,000.
Blackbird is like the Australian version of Founders Fund. It prefers projects that are globally scalable, with a focus on product development. Their investments to date include Canva, Shoes Of Prey, Elto (previously Tweaky), and Coinjar.
5. Canva woos former Apple chief evangelist Guy Kawasaki
Speaking of Canva, it made more international headlines that any other Australian startup so far this year when it hired Guy Kawasaki to be its new evangelist. Kawasaki left Motorola for the new role.
6. More reliable word-of-mouth recommendations with Trust My Tribe
Mobile app Trust My Tribe is a shared directory that lets users easily make and store reviews about a venue or service. Users can add people they know to form a "tribe" and and see the reviews these people have given for any place.
This app addresses the need for venues and services to get real reviews and testimonials, as some businesses use fake reviews to lure customers in. The founder of Trust My Tribe is Rajhev Rajkumar, ex-product director at Fairfax Media where he was responsible for creating mobile apps for media outlets such as the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
Trust My Tribe is now on iPhone.

I vowed to address the issues that led to the scandal in my role as Chairman of the House State Government Committee, and I did that last week when my committee approved two bills—one requiring in-person workplace harassment training of state lawmakers and staff, and the other beefing up the personnel policies of the LRC.
The personnel policy bill, House Bill 88, is my bill to require that the LRC work with the state Personnel Cabinet to create a system by this August that spells out how non-partisan LRC staff are to be classified and compensated based on their work. Employment, promotion, discipline, and dismissal of non-partisan LRC staff would be based on that system. The harassment legislation is found in the other bill, HB 378 sponsored by Rep. Jeffery Donohue of Fairdale. It would require the LRC to review its workplace harassment policies regularly, and would put into law that all state lawmakers and LRC employees must attend "in-person" sexual harassment training each year.
These bills should quickly work their way to a House floor vote, and I'll keep you posted on their progress.
The families and loved ones of USAF Staff Sgt. Daniel N. Fannin of Morehead and US Army Sgt. Michael C. Cable of Philpot stood at the front of the House chamber as resolutions were read honoring the lives and sacrifice of both men: Sgt. Cable, 26, who was killed on active duty in Afghanistan in March of 2013 when he was stabbed by an Afghani as the soldier played with local children, and Staff Sgt. Fannin, 30, killed in April 2013 in the crash of an MC-12 aircraft near Afghanistan's Kandahar Airfield.
Also remembered that day was US Army Pfc. Joshua A. Gray, 21, of Van Lear, who died on Feb. 10, at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan in a non-combat incident. Pfc. Gray's funeral was held last weekend in Johnson County.
Not a sound was uttered on the floor of the House or in the gallery upstairs as lawmakers from the heroes' home counties presented their families and loved ones with commemorative pins and white roses.
The event ended with a solo performance of "Amazing Grace," and heartfelt thanks from lawmakers in remembrance of the fallen.
The House then moved last Tuesday to take up committee legislation, voting in favor of House Bill 277—a bill that would require those applying for work in most long-term care facilities (hospitals with long-term care beds would be exempt) to be fingerprinted as part of a national and state background check program.
The proposed change to state law is designed to crack down on abuse in long-term care facilities or those working with long-term care providers, including state workers who inspect long-term care facilities. Long-term care job applicants who appear on a registry, whose professional license is not in good standing, or who are otherwise disqualified based on the state's determination, would be prohibited from working in long-term care facilities or with long-term care providers, or from performing state inspections of such workplaces, under HB 277.
After amending the bill to exempt hospitals that provide long-term care and requiring that any fees for background checks not exceed the state's actual and direct costs, HB 277 was approved 87-11 and sent to the Senate for consideration.
The use of eminent domain came to the forefront last week in the House Judiciary Committee as the panel passed a bill that would prohibit the taking of land by eminent domain for transport of natural gas liquids.
HB 31, as amended, would be tied to the well-publicized proposed Bluegrass Pipeline project—which proposes construction of a pipeline carrying the liquids through several Central Kentucky counties— by effectively prohibiting the taking of private land by eminent domain when building pipelines like the Bluegrass Pipeline. HB 31 now goes to the full House for further action.
Now to another issue: proposed constitutional amendments filed this session.
There are a few before the Kentucky General Assembly this session, including proposed amendments to allow casino gaming at specific locations in the Commonwealth, abolish the state Treasurer's office, restore voting rights to most Kentucky felons, create an independent panel to set the salaries of state officials (including but not limited to state lawmakers, judges, and the Governor), and allow counties to abolish the office of constable while allowing city governing officials to prohibit constables from exercising any authority within that city's limits if a county allows constables. The constable bill, HB 158, was approved last week by the House Elections, Constitutional Amendments and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee and now goes to the full House for further action.
Please continue to stay in tune with all legislative action of interest to you throughout the 2014 Regular Session by logging onto the Legislative Research Commission website at www.lrc.ky.gov or by calling the LRC toll-free Bill Status Line at (866) 840-2835.

Scott said: "Recognising the moment that is critical in any animal behaviour is easy enough - choosing the proper technique and applying it is the challenge. Using the phototrap, I can not only photograph the elusive but also the unimaginably quick. I overcome the limitation of human reaction time and endurance for photographing phenomena that occur once a day and on no particular schedule. The two most obvious cases where the trap is essential is when the photographer cannot be there to trip the shutter or when the event occurs so quickly it is beyond the practical reaction time of the photographer"

Promise, Amy Fogarty's field spaniel, had to be rescued when she fell through the ice on the canal while chasing a goose on Sunday.
- Filed Under
A dog was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard in Sturgeon Bay on Sunday morning after she fell into the canal during a wild goose chase.
Amy Fogarty of Nasewaupee and her four children were walking Promise, a field spaniel, on a trail near Canal Road when the dog spotted an injured goose. The 2½-year-old dog is owned by Fogarty's parents, Gerald and Vickie Dassler, and is used for hunting.
Promise's hunting instinct took over and she chased the goose onto the ice, Fogarty said. The dog was not on a leash. ...

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

A Conceptual Scheme of the Legal Process
Systematic conceptual schemes have been devised for analyzing psychological,1 sociological,2 and political 3 phenomena. These schemes reveal gaps in the literature and thereby generate hypotheses as did Mendelyeev's periodic table of chemical elements. They also provide categories for integrating empirically tested propositions. It is the purpose of this short chapter to present a modest conceptual scheme of the legal process.
Legal policies represent the heart of the legal process. Such policies may be made by judicial, legislative, or administrative policymakers. They may involve substance or procedure and any field of public law (government-to-citizenship and government-to-government relations) or private law (citizen-to-citizen relations). They may represent a response to prior stimuli, or they may represent stimuli to subsequent responses.
The prior stimuli that bring about legal policies consist of normative standards of right and wrong and of empirical facts. The normative standards consist of legal norms promulgated by governmental bodies and nonlegal norms that are not so promulgated. The legal norms are embodied in constitutions, statutes, administrative regulations, judge- made law, and administrative adjudications depending on the nature____________________

Excess money should be returned to taxpayers
The Walla Walla School Board certainly has a difficult question to answer during its next meeting -- whether to spend the excess funds from the Edison School Project of $1.6 million on other district needs or refund the money to the voters by paying off the bonds faster
Even though the language of the bond contract states the School Board can use the money for other district needs, it sure didn't publicize this fact very well prior to the bond vote. It seems it was an ask and we will tell or don't ask and we won't tell policy.
Superintendent Rich Carter took the easy way out recommending the money be spent on other needed projects of the district. That's great, but he will not be around to answer questions from irate voters.
I realize the district has many wants and needs. But the fact is, the voters supported a bond issue to build a new Edison School. They did not vote at this time to address other district needs with this particular bond.
I congratulate the School Board in getting the Edison School built for less than actually thought. The savings should be returned to the voters.
Some School Board members might think that $1.6 million is not much, but to my way of thinking it's a sizable sum.
This would be a great time for the next superintendent to gain credibility instead of distrust from the voters. So I ask the School Board members to think long and hard about this and give the money back to the voters. If they don't, the fine citizens of Walla Walla will think long and hard about voting "yes" on future bond issues.
We have a great and caring School Board; the right decision here could pave the way for future district needs.

A group of citizens and others supporting a referendum concerning a proposed YMCA-managed sports complex in Camden said Mayor Jeffrey Graham rebuffed its efforts to turn in signatures connected to a petition seeking the referendum.
As a reporter, there are times when your editor comes to you with a story assignment that -- you can't help it -- makes you cringe. I'm not a golf fan. I don't play, I rarely watch and I certainly had no interest a number of years ago in following a couple of guys in their 80s and their grandsons around a golf course. It just wasn't my thing.
Ward Ratz is setting up The Dog House again, this time back at his first location between Kmart and Big Lots on West DeKalb Street. Ratz lost an appeal of a decision by the city of Camden to repeal a one-year business license he received to operate on Broad Street. During an interview Thursday, Ratz said he planned to set up shop again at Kmart beginning today from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For four years, Jamie Dixon plied his trade in Elgin: selling drugs, often in exchange for stolen property. Dixon, 33, is now sitting in a federal prison, having pleaded guilty earlier this month to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and 280 grams or more of cocaine base.

A 29-year-old undocumented immigrant faces up to 40 years in prison on charges he forced himself sexually on a 13-year-old girl.
On a split, 4-1, vote Tuesday morning, Camden City Council chose to move forward with a "full facility" option for the proposed construction of a new sports complex. That complex is likely to be managed by the YMCA of Columbia.
The Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) is investigating a claim that two Cassatt women kidnapped a juvenile male and forced him to take money from an ATM in Camden. According to a KCSO report, the boy said the women threatened to kill him and his family if he didn't comply.
Camden City Council and citizens will finally get to see what a proposed sports complex might look like during council's meeting Tuesday. That's when council's Sports Complex Advisory Committee will present plans designed by JHS Architecture Integrated Design. The committee will also present two design alternatives based on JHS' full plans.

When Richard Polheber came to Sonoma County last fall to interview for Palm Drive Hospital's top post, the veteran hospital executive said he was surprised to see such a small region supporting so many hospitals.
Polheber had spent many years working in Tucson, Ariz., where only four hospitals served the needs of a metro-area population of about 1 million. Sonoma County, with less than half that population, has three major hospitals and four smaller district hospitals.
The math simply didn't add up, he said, and there was little chance a small hospital like Palm Drive could survive by duking it out with the area's heavyweights: Kaiser Medical Center, Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and Sutter Medical Center.
"When I interviewed here, I told them I don't believe in competition," said Polheber, who is now Palm Drive's CEO, adding that he made it clear he was a collaborator, not a fighter.
And yet a highly competitive battle is being waged by Santa Rosa's three major hospitals, a fight for paying patients that is causing district hospitals across the county to forge alliances with larger hospitals, physician groups or community health centers.
The moves are driven by the growing pressure to contain operating costs, the evolution of the health care industry — from high-cost hospital beds to outpatient care — and significant changes in the way hospital services will be reimbursed under the new federal health care law.
Meanwhile, the race to capture the pool of patients with private insurance not already covered by Kaiser is heating up as Sutter Health moves forward with the region's first hospital in 20 years and Memorial Hospital continues to move forward with innovative medical initiatives and services.
For Sutter, the state-of-the-art, $284million facility could usher in a new era for what has been the oldest of the area's hospitals. That metamorphosis has brought worry and fear among some district hospital executives.
When asked if the new hospital would put other local hospitals out of business, Mike Purvis, Sutter's chief administrative officer, said, <NO1><NO>"not intentionally.<NO1><NO>" He added that <NO1><NO>small hospitals are at greatest risk because they are designed to operate under the old hospital model, a system that could be toppled by the Affordable Care Act and other health care trends.
In September, less than a week after Sutter Health broke ground on its county-approved medical center north of the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, Healdsburg District Hospital, Palm Drive and the California Nurses Association filed a lawsuit against the county and Sutter Health. They claimed the new facility was poorly placed and would result in the "down-sizing or closure" of district hospitals and other medical facilities.

function Entity() {
this.a = {a: 4};
this.b = 5;
function Thing() {}
Thing.prototype = new Entity;
var thing1 = new Thing;
thing1.a.a = 3;
thing1.b = 4;
var thing2 = new Thing;
console.log(thing2.a.a); // prints 3 instead of 4. I would like 4.
console.log(thing2.b) // prints 5 as wanted
I'm having difficulty with setting prototypical inheritance in javascript. Ideally I want both thing1 and thing2 to have their own clean copy of the "new Entity prototype".
this.__proto__ is something I want to avoid
I have a rough idea of how this working.
Setting thing1.b sets the b property on the Thing instance. which does not touch the Entity.b defined in the prototype chain.
Where as setting thing1.a.a on the Thing instance cannot been done because it would throw an "cannot set a on undefined" error. That's when it goes up the prototype chain to find Entity.a which is defined and sets Entity.a.a to a new value.
[Further Edit]
As @IvoWetzel says setting thing1.b does not touch the prototype chain because setting properties does not. Where as setting thing1.a.a does two steps. A getter on thing1.a which touches the prototype chain followed by a setter of .a

Danvers, Mass., August 25, 2014 – To help celebrate this year's SYLVANIA 300, the second race in the Chase for the NASCAR® Sprint® Cup taking place Sept. 21, North American lighting leader OSRAM SYLVANIA and New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) are launching two exciting promotions sure to delight any racing fan.

The SYLVANIA 300 VIP Experience Giveaway Prize Package, being provided by NHMS, includes:

"Dazzling lights go hand in hand when you think of Las Vegas and the championship awards banquet," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our fans to have the chance to celebrate the 2014 season with drivers under the glitz and glam of Las Vegas.

Five semi-finalists will then be chosen at random and sent SYLVANIA MOSAIC® Outdoor/Indoor LED Flexible Light Strips for decorating their camp area during the SYLVANIA 300 race week. Semi-finalists and their guest will be VIPs at the SYLVANIA 300 Lobster Fest on Sept. 19. After dinner, semi-finalists will bring a panel of judges to their campsites to have their sites evaluated for creativity and use of the MOSAIC strips.
