The 19th of January is the birthday of Robert E. Lee. The following is taken directly from Call of Duty: The Sterling Nobility of Robert E. Lee by J. Steven Wilkins.
"Do your duty in all things…You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less."
It is likely not true that Lee made the statement so often attributed to him, that "Duty is the sublimest word in the English language." But there is no question that his view of duty was equal to this sentiment. Faithfulness to duty dominates his life wherever you look: at home as a child caring for his mother; at West Point, incurring not a single demerit; in the army of he United States, serving with nobility and grace; at the head of the Southern forces, leading with boldness and fortitude; as president of Washington College, quietly molding the lives of young men. "Duty" echoes throughout Lee's life.
After the fall of Mexico City, when the army was celebrating the victory—with great joy and relief—in the emperor's palace, someone arose to propose a toast to the captain of the Engineers, who had been the one to find a way for the army to take the city. It was only then that the men noticed that Robert E. Lee, the captain of the Engineers, was not present. Major John Magruder was immediately dispatched to find him and bring him to the hall to receive his honors.
After an extended search, Magruder finally found Captain Lee in a remote, quiet room in the palace, busily working on a map! It was his responsibility to make maps of the area and he had not yet finished this task. Magruder reproached Lee for ignoring the festivities. Lee calmly responded by pointing to his instruments. Magruder was incredulous.
"But this is mere drudgery! Make somebody else do it and come with me."
"No," replied Lee, "no, I am but doing my duty."
Only his manifest sincerity saved him from being ridiculed for self-righteousness. Magruder knew Lee will enough to know that this was indeed his strict view of the matter and no amount of words would sway him.
This was a quality of Lee from his youth. It was said of him as a young student that his "specialty was finishing up." He completed what he began and fulfilled his responsibilities to the full. It later became a maxim with him, "You cannot be a true man until you learn to obey."
It was important faithfully to fulfill your duty without any dissimulation or justification of your failure.
"Private and public life are subject to the same rules; and truth and manliness are two qualities that will carry you through this world much better than policy, or tact, or expediency, or any other word that was ever devised to conceal or mystify a deviation from a straight line."
…when Virginia seceded on April 17, 1861, the decision for Lee was made. He knew that many men would outrank him in the Southern armies. He had an appreciation for the fearful odds the South would face and the great uncertainty of a contest with the North that few in the South had. He knew that his estate and home would likely become the property of the Northern government, given its proximity to the capitol. If he chose for the Union, he could retain all and have rank, glory, and wealth besides. But he would not have had honor. He wrote to his sister, "With all my devotion to the Union, and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home."
After the war, in speaking to his former lieutenant, General Wade Hampton, he described his decision in these terms, "I did only what my duty demanded; I could have taken no other course without dishonor. And if all were to be done over again, I should act in precisely the same manner."
Some things are more important that worldly reputation, prosperity, and personal ease. Fearing God and living faithfully, keeping a clear conscience before God and man, cannot be replaced by worldly fame or riches. It is a lesson that all men need to learn.
[It is highly recommended that every family purchase a copy of Call of Duty: The Sterling Nobility of Robert E. Lee by J. Steven Wilkins, Highland Books, 1997. ISBN 0-9645396-9-1. Then read it together.]
Other wisdom from Robert E. Lee:
"At present, I am not concerned with results. God's will ought to be our aim, and I am quite contented that His designs should be accomplished and not mine."
" I can only say that I am nothing but a poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for salvation."
"Conscious of my imperfections and the little claim I have to be classed among Christians, I know the temptations and trials I shall have to pass through. May God enable me to perform my duty and not suffer me to be tempted beyond my strength."

Multiple Conditions for one instanceAsked by nLuisi on December 12, 2013 at 05:35 PM
I'm trying to set up a form where initially all of the options are hidden, then once something is selected, the corresponding section appears based on what is selected. For some reason, when I do this, then test the form, as soon as I select something, all of the sections show up instead of just the one section that should be showing.
Is there a work around for this, or am I doing something wrong?
JotForm Support Manager
I think you must explain in detail to us what is the exact scenario you wish to accomplish to
For example if I want to show a number of fields based on the number of people. Using SHOW conditions, it will not show unless the condition is met.
IF number of peopel EQUALS to 1 THEN SHOW
IF Number of people EQUALS to 2 THEN SHOW
Textbox -2
Email- 2
Please note that the conditions shouls be all set to SHOW or HIDE , but we cannot combine this specially if some rules or actions are similar
Hi Jeanette! Thank you for respondng!
What I'm trying to accomplish is having a radio button that hides all of the fields below it. however, once a button is selected a field is shown based on that selection..
If I have my radio button with options A B C
Option A will show D E but B and C will remain hidden
Option B will show F G but A and C will remain hidden
Option C will show H I but A and B will remain hidden..
For some reason when I set the conditions up to do this, I run the form and once I click an option, everything is showing including the fields that should be hidden..
JotForm Support
Thanks for the additional information. You would need to configure the conditions in a fashion similar to that shown below:
This demo has the above conditions. Clone it and examine its conditions if you wish.
I don't know the specific form to which you want to apply the solution but whenever setting up show/hide conditions, the question to ask oneself is, "Under what condition(s) should this field (these fields) be shown?". I've found that that line of thinking makes it easier to configure conditions than, "When this field is equal to x, which field(s) do I want shown?"
However, I'm curious about something. As you can see in the screenshot, the first condition is rather unsual but it was the best I could come up with to never show fields A, B and C ("Alpha", "Bravo" and "Charlie" in the demo). So, my question is under what circumstances should they be shown? Or do you not want them shown at all?
Hi Abajan!
Thank you for your response! That is exactly how I have it set up, it isn't working... Here is the link to the form I'm trying to do...http://www.jotform.com//?formID=33425227942858
For some reason, (I can only guess) I think it has something to do with the fact that I am using HTML to create images in the button area as opposed to merely stating the options. If anyone has any ideas for a work around on this let me know! Thank you!
JotForm Support
Hi again,
Replacing the single condition with the following multiple conditions should correct the form's behavior:
There's a fifth rule not shown in the screenshot, which states:
If What device are you selling Is Equal To Other Devices, Show Select the Other Device Type.
The first thing you'll notice is that all of the "Hide" rules have been replaced with "Show" ones. As our manager Jeanette has stated above, once a "Show" condition is set on a field it will be hidden until the set condition(s) are met. Of course, with "Show" conditions the rules had to be changed from "Is Not Equal To" to "Is Equal To".
With the above settings, this is the result. Is that the functionality you wanted to achieve?

Philippe Coutinho will be assessed to determine whether he is deemed fit enough to feature in Liverpool's clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Saturday evening.
The Brazilian was an unused substitute as his country drew 2-2 with Paraguay in the early hours of Wednesday morning, but has had to endure a 13-hour flight to return to England.
Whilst the rest of Jürgen Klopp's squad were at Melwood on Wednesday to prepare for the Spurs game, which marks the beginning of the final stretch of the season - Coutinho was on a plane back from South America, making the 6,300-mile journey to return to Merseyside.
The club are wary that such a long journey could leave their star creative midfielder jaded ahead of what is expected to be an energy-sapping showdown with Mauricio Pochettino's men, who are fighting to keep hopes of a title triumph alive.
Chasing league leaders Leicester City, who don't play until the Sunday, Spurs can narrow the gap at the top to two points with a victory on Merseyside and will undoubtedly go full-strength in their attempts to do so.
Coutinho is expected to be back in Liverpool on Thursday, having only played 23 minutes of Brazil's other game during the international break - also a 2-2 draw, this time with Uruguay, but will be assessed to judge his fitness.
His absence would be a huge blow, having scored three goals in his last five games to take his total for nine goals and five assists for the season in all competitions - including a stunning match-defining goal against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League.
Coutinho a potential doubt for Spurs showdown
His gruelling trip may have removed the benefit of his lack of playing time for Dunga's side, who had to come from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Paraguay and relied upon a late Dani Alves equaliser to leave them four points behind Uruguay and Ecuador in a South American World Cup qualifying group that consists of 10 teams.
England contingent Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Daniel Sturridge, James Milner and Nathaniel Clyne were amongst those back with the club on Wednesday as they reconvened from a two-week break.
Having 19 first-team members away on international duty, Klopp will be relieved that all of them have, thus far, returned unscathed - although it is not yet clear when Divock Origi, Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino will all return from injuries that forced them to withdraw from their international squads.
The Reds can at least expect to have Alberto Moreno back in contention against Spurs however, after he training freely with a fraction of the squad that travelled for a warm-weather training week in Tenerife during the break from Premier League action.

Why? Why not
Most Helpful Guy
I think so, they offer no value expect to harm people10|14|0
Why? Why not
I think so, they offer no value expect to harm people
Have an opinion?
By that logic alcohol would also be banned?
I don't think weed or alcohol should be illegal. Cigarettes should never have been invented. There is no purpose except getting people addicted to buy more.
Maybe drugs, but I'm not sure about cigarettes and weed, I think we need them, look at our life it's not perfect, if we ban them all our life become unlivable, if we want better life then we need to fix our problems, most of our problems coming from our life standarts, poor become more poor, rich getting more money etc.
If we fix our world problems (or better term "treat") then I'm sure people going to ban these things by themselves. Baning now will make the people more aggressive. :/
Yeah, I remember alcohol got banned once. It was even an amendment... Well we still drink don't we?
They are all forms of self harm so yes
Yes. I think so.
Pot should not be banned, we've gone through so much time to have it legalized why would we throw that away. Pot is mine, as well as many others, medicine!
Yes, they should.
No, everything should always be the choice The People. Freedom!!
Yes, but within reason and no one should be allowed to kill an innocent person. Ever.
@throwit : my friend, sometimes bad people just need to die. And I hate to say this, but the law isn't always right.
@throwit : age doesn't matter :P
And you were 16 once too :P
@throwit : whatever :P
@ xell0ismy0name I agree with you, especially with weed.
@DarkxAngel20 : thank you :)
@ zell0is0my0name No problem ^_^
A plant should not be banned. However cancer causing agents should be.
No. In my opinion, all drugs, whether very soft or very hard (from coffee to heroin) should be legalized and be freely purchasable for anyone over the age of 18 in designated shops owned and run by the government.
- Personal responsibility. I am 26 years old. I am an adult and know how to live my life. I don't need people to patronize me, force their moral opinions on me and tell me how to live.
- Personal freedom. As human being that was born freely into this world, I don't believe in such restrictions.
- The war on drugs has miserably failed. If there is anyone who doesn't think so, they must have been living under a rock for the past 50 years. The US alone has spent roughly 1,2 trillion dollars on the war on drugs since 1971. Well, do we live in a drug-free world now? Hehe, not exactly. In fact, there are good indications that people who live in countries with liberal drug laws act more responsibly. One example: When I was living in America, I was shocked to see how some teenagers abuse alcohol. Some of my friends had little parties in the basement of their parents house while the parents were out or sleeping. The parties were basically just about one thing: getting wasted. I don't even know where these guys got all that booze from... I guess they asked a "nice" buddy who was already over 21. One time, my best friend had to go to the hospital because he got so wasted that he had an accident walking home. I am Swiss and Greek (mom is Swiss, dad is Greek) and in both countries, this kind of stuff isn't so common. In Switzerland, beer and wine can be bought at age 16. Hard liquors at 18. Kids do go a little crazy but generally speaking, they take it more easy because 15 or 16 is usually just about the age when you get interested in this stuff. So it's not like in America where you have to wait for years and then you finally have so much build up desire that you literally drink yourself into a hospital. Once they get into University, people in Switzerland all drink very moderately. Crazy drunk college parties are practically non-existent. In Greece, even kids get to drink alcohol. My dad would sometimes give me and my sister some red wine for dinner, even when we were 6 or 7 years old. We just grew up with it. It was like milk or juice to us in the sense that it wasn't anything special. There was no taboo about it. Maybe that's why I never went crazy with alcohol and I've always drank it very moderately.
No, because anytime you ban something you drive it underground into a black market. We already have this because of the War on Drugs. It is already a reality that we need to escape. People still buy and sell such products, but there is no taxation collected, the products are completely unregulated (and often more harmful than their original forms) and fill our prisons with mostly non-violent offenders. Simply put, for possessing certain plants and chemicals that the government has deemed "no-no" they put you in a box and say that you must be ashamed and never associate with society until they give the go ahead.
What we really need is comprehensive drug rehabilitation reform so that drug addicts can have the opportunity to get treatment and actually become a person again instead of a hollow shell that is enslaved to some substance. It is, of course, people's individual choices to start using harmful substances in the first place. They must accept this. But talk to any addict and they will tell you that it quickly gets out of control and they feel helpless, many times to the point of suicide.
Of course, this also gets to the point of "who should pay for all this?" Excellent question. Many taxpayers would be morally opposed, and that is fine with me. I can understand the attitude, especially for people that use no drugs. I'm not sure who should, but I think starting community centers that are directly funded via donations (or tax-specific to the individual) might work. I think you could rally enough support around the idea if you could establish one center that proved success. Perhaps looking at successful addiction/rehab centers now would sway some individuals.
If all drugs were legalized tomorrow, I would not go out and buy heroin or many other substances. I doubt you would either. But my guess is that increase in quality/decrease in price would dramatically lower drug-related crime, while putting illegal cartels out of business (or forcing them to pay taxes). The DEA would be abolished, saving $2 billion in allotted funds, and cops would be forced to concentrate on traffic/violent crimes instead of petty possession. Countries (like Mexico) that funnel drugs could finally have cash crops, etc. etc.
I'm not sure what would happen to the stigma about drugs, though. I believe it will always be there. People don't like to see people fucking themselves up on various things (even alcohol). Such is human nature and understandable.
Hope this was informative.
No they shouldn't. The war on drugs is a lossing and extremely expensive battle. The only drugs that should be illegal are ones that WILL fuck up your life like meth and heroin.
No, drugs should be banned. Banning it will just make the rate of drug use higher.
Every drug should be decriminalised and all of the money spent on enforcing the laws of banned drugs, should be spent on treating drug addiction and drug-related problems.
everyone's source of drug should be at medical centres where they know they are getting clean stuff and not tampered gear.
No drugs should be banned*
How does that make any difference to my opinion lol?
Well, look at the drug addiction rate of those countries that have banned a certain drug. They should be higher.
Also, drug addicts don't belong in prison. We need compassion and rehabilitation not punishment and condemnation.
Yes I would agree with that
No. On the contrary, all drugs should be legal.
Yes, drugs should be banned. Legalizing marijuana is a terrible idea.
If people wanna kill dem selves I think they should be allowed to. It's natural selection m8.
Cigarettes have a lot of horrible ingredients in them and has been responsible for hundreds of thousands if not more deaths. With weed it is just a plant with no additive ingredients. It is used to treat numerous medical problems with very little if any serious side effects. It literally baffles my mind that cigarettes are legal knowing how dangerous they are and yet weed something natural with great treatment of medical problems is not.
If they do it they should go the whole hog considering how inconsistent and stupid the controls on substances are. But really they should just legalize weed because it's not as bad as tobacco considering you don't HAVE to smoke it.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

This website has been set up by a group of patients to share information about how the NHS is changing and why. We are not a membership group but work alongside other groups and campaigns that are defending our NHS.
What is happening to the NHS?
The NHS has been one of the best and most cost-effective health care systems in the world.* But it is now in crisis.
Of the many challenges that the NHS faces, the most significant threat to its future comes from government policies and legislation, including
- The Health and Social Care Act (2012), which brought in massive restructuring and turned the NHS into a competitive market and accelerated privatisation;
- Underfunding and financial cuts, with demands for crippling 'efficiency savings';
- The removal of government funding for new facilities, forcing many NHS organisations to use private finance (the Private Finance Initiative) and take on unmanageable debt;
- A new Five Year Plan that fragments the NHS into new local health systems. These 'footprints' have to develop Sustainability and Transformation Plans to radically reshape and cut services. This new round of restructuring sets the scene for an NHS that's more like a US-type insurance based system and allows more scope for private companies to both plan and provide services.
Opening up the NHS to competition has also made it vulnerable to inclusion in trade and investment agreements (such as CETA) and the extraction of NHS funding by multinational corporations. These deals may also include mechanisms that make the privatisation of the NHS irreversible.
How can we stop this?
This website aims to provide patients and the general public with up to date information about what is happening to the NHS in England.
Apart from information about major changes, it gives details of campaigning groups concerned with reclaiming the NHS that you might want to join – (e.g. to support the NHS Reinstatement Bill).
The website also provides resources (e.g.articles, videos and blogs) and an explanation of terms that you may come across. There is also a patients4nhs leaflet that explains what is happening to the NHS. This can be downloaded and printed off by anyone wanting to use it to campaign for the NHS.
We hope you will support us by passing on the website link to others.

Because crawl spaces are small and unventilated they are prone to excess moisture. Because excess moisture can lead to a variety of problems, you'll want to monitor your crawl space's moisture levels.
Problems Associated with Excess Moisture
Excess moisture in your crawl space can cause a host of problems. Perhaps the most worrisome is mold. Not only can mold cause severe structural damage, particularly in homes where the crawl space is located underneath the house, but excess moisture may also cause skin and eye irritation, asthma and other respiratory problems.
Moisture Levels
Ideally, moisture levels should be kept below 50 percent relative humidity (RH). According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this will help prevent problems with mold, dust mites and other biological pollutants.
Moisture Control Methods
A dehumidifier can be used to reduce the amount of moisture in the air. Many dehumidifiers also include a device which reads the relative humidity level. As an alternative, consider installing an exhaust fan. When shopping for an exhaust fan, look for one that produces a minimum of 10 air changes per hour. For crawl spaces located under your home, consider laying a vapor barrier, available at most home supply stores, on the ground. A vapor barrier in a crawl space will help prevent ground moisture from moving up and condensing or entering the home.

An Abstract Factory provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.
Why It's Useful
Before we get into the dry definition of the Abstract Factory Pattern, let's investigate a scenario where it would be useful. When we are going through this situation and solution, we will be using JavaScript – specifically ES6 to make our classes more readable.
Imagine we want to draw some shapes to an HTML5 Canvas. We'll want to draw some common shapes like a Circle and a Square to the canvas, but we don't want to bind our main code to the classes for a Circle and a Square. What we would like to do is have another class that knows how to make our shapes.
Some Code
Let's write some simple code that models this situation. We'll keep our implementation simple so that we can focus on the Abstract Factory Pattern instead of how Circles and Squares get drawn onto a canvas.
The HTML code:
<canvas id="canvas" width="500px" height="500px"></canvas>
This CSS code:
canvas { background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; }
The JavaScript code (the important stuff):
class Shape { constructor(ctx) { this.ctx = ctx; } draw() { throw new Expection("Not implemented"); } } class Circle extends Shape { draw() { this.ctx.beginPath(); this.ctx.arc(100, 75, 50, 0, 2*Math.PI); this.ctx.stroke(); } } class Square extends Shape { draw() { this.ctx.rect(20,20,100,100); this.ctx.stroke(); } } class ShapeFactory { getShape(type, ctx) { switch(type) { case "Circle": return new Circle(ctx); case "Square": return new Square(ctx); default: throw new Exception("Type not found"); } } } // Imagine this is in another file, that has no access to Shape, Square, or Circle, // but does have access to ShapeFactory const c = document.getElementById("canvas"); const ctx = c.getContext("2d"); const sf = new ShapeFactory(); const circle = sf.getShape("Circle", ctx); const square = sf.getShape("Square", ctx); circle.draw(); square.draw();
A runnable JSFiddle for you to preview the results:
The Pattern
In the previous code, we used a ShapeFactory to create objects of type Shape. Our main code was thus decoupled from the implementation details of a Circle or a Square. Our main code didn't need to know how to make a Circle or a Square, it only needed to know about the ShapeFactory.
Generalizing this, the abstract factory pattern provides a way to create objects of a common theme by grouping individual factories together. When using the factory, your code doesn't have to know which concrete object actually gets created by the internal factories. It only ends up using the generic interface of the theme.
This is part of our programming patterns series!

LightCyber Joins Palo Alto Networks
Interview With LightCyber
Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC speaks with Jason Matlof, EVP & Chief Marketing Officer, LightCyber
FD Media Group Thwarts Network Attackers With LightCyber
Jerry Cyrus, Security Manager at FD Mediagroep, discusses how LightCyber Magna is giving early warning about cyber attacks and letting them see what is going on in their network.
Turning the Tables on Cyber Attackers
Hear how you can literally take the advantage and flip the odds on attackers using Behavioral Attack Detection technologies.
Customer Interview: Now Security Must be About Attack Detection
With today's internal and external threats, it is not longer possible to rely on preventative security. You have to expect that an external attacker will find a way into your network, probably through compromising a host computing device or user account. Will you be able to tell? Can you see the attacker at work, exploring the network and establishing new points of control? With LightCyber Magna, Gigamon can find an active attacker quickly.
Customer Interview: Insights from a Healthcare Network Professional
This candid video interview provides insight from a network professional working at a large heath care company. In it, he discusses the importance of knowing what is going on in their network. He then describes how deploying LightCyber Magna™, which uses behavioral profiling to see normal activity for their specific environment, enables them to spot malicious anomalies of targeted attacks or insider attacks. You will hear why he now has a high level of confidence in knowing they can quickly detect and stop malicious activity and protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which is so critical to healthcare organizations. Additionally, he describes how taking on these new attack detection capabilities has made the security team more productive and able to accomplish more with less.
M&A and the Hidden Data Breach
This short video interview highlights important considerations in preventing M&A integration from bringing an existing attacker into your network.
One overlooked area for the IT integration of merged or acquired (M&A) companies is the blind spot that exists in not knowing whether one firm may be connecting to another where a network intruder may have been long hidden. "You don't know what you don't know," explains a senior security executive from a health care company that has been an active acquirer. "The thing that keeps security people up at night is what they don't know. When you go into a new environment and are about to bring that company on to your network, there's another thing that you don't know."
Flip the Odds on the Cyber Attacker
This short video shows you how Behavioral Attack Detection helps you gain the advantage over cyber attackers.
How to Utilize Technology for Accurate & Efficient Detection of Cyber Attacks
Jim Broome, from Direct Defense, discusses the benefits he has experienced from being a part of the LightCyber Channel Alliance Program. These advantages include the ability to expand the security ecosystem of his customers with a technology able to quickly locate and stop cyber attacks before they cause damage.
LightCyber attended the Check Point University in Milan, Italy
LightCyber attended the Check Point University in Milan, Italy and here discusses how LightCyber and Magna works to quickly and efficiently detect attackers that have broken through network defenses. They also show how LightCyber Magna works with Check Point to allow organizations to quickly identify critical security events and isolate infected computers before significant damage is done.

Jamaican sprinters Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake aim to finish the season on a high at today's final Diamond League meeting of the year in Brussels.
However, the duo will not compete against each other with Bolt going in the 100m and Blake racing in the 200m.
Blake, who ran 19.26 seconds at the same stadium last year, is chasing another quick time in Belgium.
The Jamaican, who won 4 into 100m relay gold and 100m and 200m silver medals at the London 2012 Olympics, ran the joint third fastest 100m last month in Lausanne.

SVC sweeps NECC XC weekly awards for fifth straight time
BENNINGTON >> For the fifth straight time, Southern Vermont College has swept the New England Collegiate Conference men's cross country weekly accolades as junior captain Marc Brandmeyer and freshman Davante Smith were honored as the Runner and Rookie of the Week, respectively, for the period ending October 2 as announced by the league on Monday.
The pair of laurels now gives the SVC squad a perfect 10-for-10 this year as three combinations of the team's runners have taken home all of the NECC weekly awards given out so far. That streak will end next Monday, however, as Southern Vermont is off this weekend for rest and recovery, resuming its schedule with Western New England University's Golden Bear Invitational on October 15.
Monday's honor is the fourth for Brandmeyer this year and his sixth career Runner of the Week recognition. The captain had his best race of the year on Saturday at the Keene State College Invitational, recording a 26:39 for a split pace of 5:22 per mile on the 8k course. His ninth-place finish saw the Mountaineer take 1:03 off his previous-top time from this season to help Southern Vermont take fifth as a team.
Smith had a stellar showing at Saturday's Invitational, placing fourth for Southern Vermont. He came through the line with a 28:14 showing, that new personal best for the rookie moving him up into a three-way tie for eighth on SVC's all-time 8k record list. It is his third straight week in reeling in the rookie accolade.
Kristiansen, Welch collect XC awards
BENNINGTON >> The New England Collegiate Conference announced on Monday its weekly award winners for the period ending October 2 with SVC taking claim to both of the women's cross country honors as Bennington College junior Annika Kristiansen and senior Jordan Welch were named the Runner and Rookie of the Week, respectively.
While both runners are collecting their accolades for a second time this season, Monday marked the first time of the year that Southern Vermont has swept the league's women's cross country laurels.
Kristiansen had another SVC-leading performance at Saturday's Keene State College Invitational, returning to her hometown for Southern Vermont.
She crossed the line at 20:37 to take 16th overall in the highly-contested meet, coming just 14 seconds shy of her personal record. That time was also 1:02 faster than any 5k mark that she has posted this year.
Welch set a new personal-best time at Saturday's Invitational to help the Mountaineers take fourth as a team. She was the fourth SVC runner to cross the line, coming in at 22:56 to break her previous PR by a staggering 3:05.
That gave her a split time of 7:24 per mile on the 5,000 meter course.

Is there a way to show a JotForm form only once to a user?Asked by alexdochian on June 19, 2014 at 12:01 PM
My goal is to add jotform so it collects emails and names from the first time visitors on my website:
www.angrozenda.ro (i want it to show pop-up, 1 time -per user-cookie) I am using prestashop.
So I have managed to add the form to my test webpage:
Had to delete a module -home slider- so it would work without conflicts,
-needed to edit the home-text-editor so i can include html and other languages in the editor
-removed hook from this module so it would show only on the home-page (else it was showing on every page)
But the problem is that it would not remember the cookie, it shows on my home page every time, to every user.
Need support asap - trying to fix this for 2 days already
This is a re-post of a comment on How to add a form to your PrestaShop website

Protection of Railways and Pipelines
26 August, 2010
With oil industry losses through pipeline tapping running into billions of dollars annually, the surveillance industry now has the technical capability to provide viable protection to remote infrastructure facilities at affordable cost
Cutting into a 600psi pipeline may seem like an enormous risk to take but the financial rewards for oil thieves is very high. In China alone, where pipelines stretch through some of the remotest territories imaginable, the country loses over 18 million dollars a year in oil revenues through theft from the country's pipelines.
For railways, loss of human life far outweighs any other considerations with trespassing incidents having enormous significance. In the UK during 2009, 50 trespassers lost their lives, there were 500 near misses with moving trains and over 9000 trespassing incidents were reported. Such incidents cause investigations, delays, financial loss and very high levels of anxiety for railway employees, particularly train drivers who are regularly faced with frightening situations that could result in a loss of life.
Protection of such difficult environments typically involves Detection â€" Analysis â€" Response.
The ability to detect intruders has taken giant strides in recent years. The first consideration is infrastructure and the rise in IP technology has provided the glue holding together surveillance system components as well as giving the ability to integrate other security elements such as alarm management, voice communications, signalling and PA.
IP Megapixel cameras are able to cover wider areas in greater detail than legacy analogue cameras as well as providing the means of incorporating more functionality "onto the edge" using the processing power on board the camera for performing additional functions such as video motion detection, video encoding and making transmission "decisions" to facilitate a reduction in the video traffic that is streamed across the network.
Thermal Imaging Technology is also accessible for commercial use in large scale deployments at affordable cost, bringing round-the-clock detection capabilities of human intruders at distances of up to 20km. Once the domain of Government departments and high end military systems, companies such as FLIR Systems now offer commercial sensors that are ideally suited to such challenging surveillance environments.
The next challenge for such large scale projects is how to react to detected events. Wild weather, stray animals, swaying camera poles, vehicles, movement of other objects within the field of view all need to be filtered in some way to prevent control room operators from having to react to every event regardless of what it involves.
Video analytics come in many forms from simple motion detection to full meta-data analysis for forensic investigations. Companies like SightLogix provide packaged solutions with outdoor cameras with built-in motion detection that have algorithmic error elimination which copes with adverse weather and flying debris which present alarm incident data to PTZ cameras for further investigation before streaming the results to control room operators for their judgement. ObjectVideo takes an open standards approach, building their analytics software into cameras, recording systems or Video Management Systems to perform detailed rules based analysis to distinguish between, for example, a curious intruder and a gang of thieves trying to penetrate a pipeline.
Response options are more based on the application rather than the technology. In the case of pipeline intrusion, once an incident is detected and analysed, there is generally sufficient time to deploy a response team even to the remotest locations as it can take several hours to extract a tanker load of oil from a pipeline using small tapping equipment even at high pressure.
For railways, the response is more complex since time is more critical. With detailed analysis and threat management rules, there can be links to signalling or warnings sent to train operators. Trials have been performed in the USA on linking alarm events to public address signals and klaxons to warn intruders and disperse groups of children who are trespassing on tracks.

In my case, there are some problems with focusing, and the last version of the android was not like this, it is possible in other embodiments, the firmware has its own small shoals. Anyway, a complete program that will offer you an alternative shell for the camera. Many offer unprecedented effects or super quality, but most of the desire of the owner comes down to a full-time program to replace with something similar, but without the drawbacks.
Unfortunately, this program deficiencies revealed at once, they are not critical to name but intractable too. To start the setup menu - it is called directly from the screen, and there is an arc which has the basic settings by clicking in the middle of which you get even a small menu, move in an arc need running his finger, and to get out you have to press on the screen when you click on a habit "Back" on your phone, then you leave the program. In the settings there is nothing interesting, more than the standard, plus there is no ability to turn off the shutter sound, which is very annoying here.
On the positive side I want to note that the pictures of the program a little better, solely due to good focus, which, by the way, touching the screen can be moved to any location in the frame. On the other hand, if your current camera with focusing too everything is in order, then you have nothing to lose, and gain, but the sound of the shutter and the possibility of panoramic photography.

Conclusion: The magic of the claimed this program is not shown, but it may be useful to some users, so the recommendation is simple - download and see help - well, does not help - and try to remove the other options, which, fortunately, a great many.
More stable to capture HD phones and videos.

Kate Upton Got The 'Sports Illustrated' Swimsuit Cover. Again.
Last week, we posted about Kate Upton "demanding" the 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, and it worked. She got it. In fact, her shit worked so well, that not only was this her third cover, but they gave her all three of them instead of tossing one to Christie Brinkley and Serena Williams. Which shouldn't be a surprise because SI made the same editorial decision that I make everyday: "Giant boobs." It's never let me down, and I have the pale skin and increased fear of human interaction to prove it. Only the screens understand me. They understand everything. *rubs face against laptop* So safe, so warm…

Is Crazy Sexy?
What is it about those nutty girls, the ones that leave a wake of chaos and drama behind them everywhere they go, that make the men swoon? Details.com begins to examine this strange phenomenon offering both real-life experiences and movie romances — they point out Natalie Portman in Garden State, but I immediately thought of Kirsten Dunst in Crazy/Beautiful. The post states:
Of course it isn't about trust. This is about lawlessness. Chaos. Escapism and unpredictability — a balls-out, soul-affirming what's-nextness that is so rare and so powerful that you completely forget to give a sh*t about consequences and personal sacrifices.
Okay, this explanation is all well and good — we get it, she's exciting, but what about all the extra baggage she brings? Obviously I don't make the connection between crazy and sexy. Do you? Please explain this to me. What is it about being a bit loony and wild that makes a guy go gaga?

Next Episode of Ice Road Truckers is
Season 11 / Episode 1 and airs on 24 August 2017 22:00
The warriors of the ice roads are back, hauling vital cargo to remote communities over some of the most dangerous routes in the world. But, this season, the toughest job in the world just got tougher.A polar vortex has descended onto the Canadian backcountry, creating the most severe winter in over a century. Freezing winds, towering snow and blinding whiteouts push the drivers to their emotional and physical breaking points.But despite the brutal conditions, Polar Industries and VP Express aren't backing down from the war that started last year. VP boss Hugh Rowland has stolen ice road legend Alex Debogorski away from Polar. Although they've been rivals in the past, having the two titans together on the same team might just provide the edge VP needs to run Polar out of town.But Polar owner Mark Kohaykewych has made a score of his own, snagging VP Express' top driver from last season, Todd Dewey, to add to his roster of Lisa Kelly, Darrell Ward and Art Burke. And, this year, he's expanding the company map, venturing even further onto some of the least traveled and longest ice roads in the world.For the rough riders of the frozen frontier, this season is a non-stop ride over thin ice.
Experts predict one of the shortest and warmest winters on record; as a result, companies risk financial ruin and communities face deprivation unless the drivers can deliver vital supplies before their window of opportunity slams shut.
Art Burke crashes his truck into a snowbank; Alex Debogorski makes his return and faces off with an untested crossing; Mark Kohaykewych tests out new driver Steph Custance; Lisa Kelly faces a monster incline; Darrell Ward runs into rival Todd Dewey.
Lisa Kelly finds herself stranded hundreds of miles from the nearest town; Darrell Ward takes an off-road shortcut; Art Burke encounters a melting ice crossing and a full load; Steph Custance finds out whether she'll become part of the Polar team.
Darrell and Lisa head into Alberta and onto a trail nicknamed The Death Road; Art faces off with the ice crossing where he nearly lost his life last season; Todd takes rookie Steph Custance under his wing as she embarks on her first journey.
Rookie Steph Custance tries to complete the first ice road mission of her career; Alex Debogorski runs into a road block as temperatures soar; Art Burke attempts to deliver to a new community; Darrell Ward braves an unregulated winter road.
Darrell Ward faces a trail known as the obstacle course; Todd Dewey strives to clear a melting ice bridge; Alex Debogorski hauls an oversized fuel tank; Art Burke stumbles onto an ice crossing in the middle of the night.
On her first solo trip, Steph Custance braves one of the longest ice crossings on the map; Darrell Ward attempts a triple delivery in a single day; an engine fire stops Lisa Kelly in her tracks; Todd Dewey celebrates his birthday stuck on a road.
Todd Dewey must fix his truck or find himself stranded a hundred miles from the nearest town; Alex Debogorski confronts a creek in the middle of the road; Art Burke receives bad news; Lisa Kelly battles an ice crossing unlike any she's seen.
As the end of the season nears, Mark Kohaykewych makes a deal with rivals Darrell Ward and Lisa Kelly to join forces for a four-truck convoy; Alex Debogorski must complete one of the longest trails; Art Burke's truck gives out on the ice.
The truckers in the historic four-truck convoy face fire and a thin crossing; after Art Burke's engine dies, he must travel back to Winnipeg with Alex Debogorski over a trail that destroys his truck.

President Obama is scrolling through his Rolodex to call on a few famous friends to promote his health care plan, according to The Associated Press.
On Monday, the POTUS sat in a private White House meeting with a group of representatives that included Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, Jennifer Hudson, Amy Poehler and others as they expressed interest in backing the Affordable Care Act that is open for enrollment on Oct. 1. YouTube and Funny or Die were also in attendance, as they are working on promotions featuring comedians.
It is Obama's hope that their star power will spread the word about new health insurance exchanges available to younger, uninsured Americans. Insurers need those healthy customers to help offset the costs of older consumers who aren't healthy.
The White House estimates it will need 2.7 million young Americans to sign up for health coverage in 2014.
Obama has a history of tapping Hollywood talent for various campaigns; he enlisted the help of Keys, Jay Z, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen and others in 2012 to encourage people to vote.

In a bombshell report, Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, revealed to Fox News on Monday that Lois Lerner's emails never went missing, as the Obama Administration has been claiming for some time now. As we all suspected, government emails are backed up so that operations would be able to continue in the event of a computer system crash. This means that during the 2011 system crash which the Obama Administration claims was responsible for Lerner's tens of thousands of missing emails, her correspondence was backed up along with every other government employee's.
(Read More: Judge Orders IRS To Give Better Excuse For Lois Lerner's Lost Emails)
Fitton told Fox News:
"We want to know why they hadn't told the court about this backup system. If this backup system is working, Lois Lerner's emails are there. There are half a dozen other IRS officials whose emails have supposedly disappeared as well. And we've heard from other agencies, like over in the HHS over Obamacare, emails disappearing there. We've been led to believe that once they disappear they can't be found again, when in fact they back up everything, as most people suspected [and] now the government has confirmed."
An attorney for the Obama Administration conceded the information that the emails were backed up all along, but that they were just 'too hard' to look for.
(Read More: Republicans File Motion For Congressional Police To Arrest Lois Lerner)
The excuse that the emails are too hard to search for is even more bogus than the lie about them being lost forever. It wouldn't take long for a technology whiz to find all of the material that the Obama Administration is trying so desperately to hide. That is, as long as it's not the same person they hired to set up the Obamacare website. Obama, Lois Lerner and all the rest of those scumbags know that full well.
So we are left to wonder about the contents of those infamous emails. In time, they will be recovered and Obama will have yet another scandal on his hands. Do you think they'll be even worse than the correspondence Lerner sent to her cronies calling Conservatives "assholes" and "terrorists"? Tell us what you think of this report in the comments section.

text: Politics 26 January 2004 Trouble in parasite paradise Television - Andrew Billen surrenders to the tragic comedy of Paul Abbott's shameless family Sign up for our weekly email * The opening of episode two of Shameless (Tuesdays, 10pm, Channel 4) truncated the first episode's prefatory remarks. In them, Frank, father of the shameless Gallagher family, explained: "No one is saying the Chatsworth Estate is the Garden of Eden - or at least I don't think they are - but it's been a good home to us." The parenthesis strongly suggested that the author of the series, Paul Abbott, would be saying precisely that: that there's more joy to be found in the rough and tumble of Britain's poorest council estates than in the comfortable sterility of, say, the Devonshires' Chatsworth. It seemed wise to remove the caveat. There was now real trouble in parasite paradise. Frank, initially mistaken by his family for a recumbent tent in the corner of the room, had disappeared. More to the point, he had disappeared on the morning of the day his Giro check arrives, a day when, for obvious reasons, he makes a point of sticking around. Frank, as he likes to tell well-wishers when articulacy occasionally seizes him, is a single parent, heroically bringing up six children after their mother vanished. His eldest daughter, Fiona, concedes that his workload immediately doubled when his missus left - but given that she did nothing around the house either, this still amounts to Frank doing nothing. In practice, the children run themselves, and yet their consequent spirit of self-reliance is something Frank congratulates himself on. But the second episode found Frank in trouble thanks to one of his entrepreneurially minded offspring. Ian, who charges other kids for doing their homework, accepted payment in kind from young Karen Jackson, the payment in kind being a blow job under her dining-room table. Her pious father, Eddie, chanced to see this and went berserk, storming out and lying in wait at the pub for Frank, determined to visit the sins of the son on the father. When the local news reported that a body had been found in the local canal, the younger Gallaghers feared the worst. However, the dummy the police pulled up was not Frank but a mannequin with "Drugs Don't Work" on its forehead - a misguided attempt by the police to publicise their war on drugs. Frank had not passed over, or at least he had only passed over (or under) the Channel. He woke in Calais and, shortly afterwards, in a police cell, where a malicious local linguist told the gendarmerie that their prisoner had confessed to being a drug smuggler whose dearest held belief is that "the French are all fuckers". Having pleaded guilty to a drugs offence he was not even charged with, he was eventually released and returned to Manchester a local hero. It was not Eddie who wreaked this comic vengeance on Frank, but his eldest daughter's suitor, Stephen. Stephen is not as nice as he seems. Masquerading as Fiona's middle-class saviour, his actual job is stealing posh cars. But even before this was revealed, we suspected him. For the rest of the cast, Abbott has written only slightly elevated dialogue, much of it very funny. But Stephen gets to spout poetry, telling Fiona: "You're not fake. You're not lost so you don't need finding. You're not trapped so you don't need spying." He thinks he's better than the Gallaghers, but neither Fiona nor Abbott agrees. The other sub-plot, aside from the Fiona/Stephen romance, is Ian's homosexuality (the oral sex was wasted on him). He is actually having it off with the owner of the local Asian corner shop, a complicated scandal summarised by his brother's parody of the tabloid headline it would make: "Fake Muslim cheats on white fundamentalist wife with gutless gay boy." There was a hint here that Abbott is at risk of reverting to the kind of social-issue drama that blights so much British television, but it is so far only a hint. In any case, episode two belonged to Frank, played by the exemplary David Threlfall with perhaps a small debt to Ozzy Osbourne. It was just good to see him standing up. In episode one, he spent so much time horizontal and/or asleep that it was as if the Gallagher story was being told by the corpse in William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. His resurrection on his return from France was handled as a kind of double baptism, first in the river he never fell into and then in Eddie's wife's bath. Eddie's wife, now that Eddie has left her life, turns out, beneath the agoraphobia and prissy vocabulary ("Hark at her, Desperate Daisy!"), to love slightly kinky sex. This suits Frank very well and he moves in with her, things turning out as well for the rogue as they tend to do for the protagonist of the Just William stories. Not all previous TV dramas set on no-hope estates have been grey and doomy: Penny Woolcock's Tina films springs to mind. But if we disregard The Royale Family, Abbott's largely autobiographical work is the first series to tap the tragically comic potential of the jobless working class since Boys from the Blackstuff. His bang-on dialogue (Eddie: "Our Karen was only 12 when I heard her use the c-word, and on a Sunday." Frank: "Fuck!") is matched by the kind of acting that does not look like acting. I have been resistant to much of Abbott's work up until now, finding it either too neat or too elliptical. I surrender wholeheartedly this time.

LOS ANGELES — The No. 1 team in the nation will come to Pauley Pavilion on Thursday with a spotless 15-0 record in tow, arguably the nation's best defense, and … a three-game losing streak to UCLA?
No team had Arizona's number quite like UCLA did last season, with the Bruins beating the higher-ranked Wildcats in each of their three meetings. In Tucson last January, UCLA put together one of its best offensive performances of the season and dealt the Wildcats one of their two home losses in 2013. At the beginning of March, the Bruins knocked Arizona from atop the conference, on its way to an unlikely regular season title. And in the Pac-12 tournament, a standout game from Jordan Adams ousted the Wildcats in the semifinals.
"We beat them (three times), so they come here with a chip on their shoulder," UCLA center Tony Parker said. "They probably have a bigger chip on their shoulder than any other team has coming to Pauley. They really have something to prove, that they can beat UCLA. And we have something to protect, and we have to beat Arizona. That's big going into a game this big, with what they have to lose and what we have to lose."
UCLA, with three wins in three tries, was the only team to beat Arizona more than once last season.
That, however, was before dynamic freshmen Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and transfer point guard T.J. McConnell came to Tucson, before Arizona held Washington State to just 25 points in 40 minutes, before they beat Duke and Michigan away from home.
"It's a new team, new guys, tougher guys," Parker said. "Last year really doesn't matter at all."
That newfound toughness has paid immediate dividends on the defensive end. The Wildcats rank second in the nation in defensive efficiency and third in effective field goal percentage defense (40.7 percent), according to KenPom.com.
Most of that dominance stems from the Wildcats' talented frontline, where they use a 6-foot-8-or-taller trio of Gordon, Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski. No frontcourt in the Pac-12 has been better at locking down the paint and dominating the glass.
But in Westwood, Arizona's top-flight defense may meet its offensive match. With the nation's top effective field goal percentage, UCLA has been incredibly efficient on the offensive end all season long — much more so than it was last season. On Thursday, that offense will need to do the heavy lifting with the Bruins' best hope to speed up the game in order to force Arizona's defense off balance.
"Hopefully, we can just drive in there and get their big guys in foul trouble," sophomore guard Jordan Adams said. "That'd help us out. We know they're going to block a couple shots. But as long as we keep attacking, the refs will have to eventually call something."
Arizona will likely have the same aggressive mindset on offense, with UCLA's shallow frontcourt depth likely to be exploited.
The Bruins do have some reason to be optimistic on that end, with their perimeter defense looking better as of late, as the team continues to settle into a new zone-heavy approach. Since losing to Duke on Dec. 19 – a team that Arizona beat – UCLA has given up just 67 points per game in its last three.
"We're really trying to get in gaps and disrupt driving lanes," junior Norman Powell said, "and I feel like in the last couple games, we've really made strides in picking that up."
It'll take another few strides for UCLA to stay even with Arizona, which also boasts a top-25 offense, on Thursday. But if last year taught us anything, it's that UCLA should have a little something extra waiting for its budding Pac-12 rival.
