Bill Koppelman was the patient in the Season 8 episode Nobody's Fault. He was portrayed by actor David Anders.
This is a special case history and will be presented in the form of a report of the independent investigator, Dr. Walter Cofield, the chief of the neurology department of New York Mercy Hospital.
Final report of the disciplinary hearing regarding the incident in Patient Room 209 of Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, February 3, 2012.
By Dr. Walter Cofield
Herein are my factual findings and my decision on whether Dr. Gregory House should have his hospital privileges suspended for his role in the incident. As part of my investigation, I conducted several interviews with:
- Dr. Gregory House, attending physician, Head of Diagnostics at PPTH.
- Dr. Robert Chase, diagnostic fellow.
- Dr. Christopher M. Taub, diagnostic fellow
- Dr. Jessica Adams, diagnostic fellow
- Dr. Chi Park, diagnostic fellow
- Dr. Eric Foreman, Dean of Medicine, PPTH
Such interviews are in the process of being transcribed and will be published along with the documentary evidence that was available for my review. It should be noted that Dr. House initially resisted being interviewed and only agreed to be interviewed when he was advised that the documentary evidence in the file was not favorable to his case and supported a conclusion that he should be suspended. He was reminded a suspension would be a violation of his parole.
Bill Koppelman is a 32 year old high-school chemistry teacher. He collapsed while jogging and was paralyzed in all four extremities. However, his scans showed no sign of stroke or structural lesions, and there were no broken bones or other sign of trauma. House says it was Tranverse Myelitis. Dr. Foreman says no one has been on the MRI. He then asked Dr. House to take the case.
Dr. House took Vicodin during his interview. I asked if he had taken Vicodin during his handling of this case, and he admitted he has been taking Vicodin for most of the last ten years due to ongoing leg pain. Dr. House pointed to his long line of successes and insisted that bad things "just happen" and felt investigations were a way of assigning blame instead of improving processes. He claimed the incident was nobody's fault.
Dr. Adams told me that Dr. House was making jokes as he presented the case, but denied trying to make Dr. House look bad. She too stated she didn't think the incident was Dr. House's fault.
Dr. Taub said he was the first doctor to have a theory, hepatic encephalopathy, which would explain why he lost consciousness and was paralyzed. However, Dr. Park told me that Dr. House thought Dr. Taub's idea was "stupid". She had suggested normal pressure hydrocephalus, but Dr. House denounced that idea as "stupid" as well. I asked Dr. House about how he treated Dr. Park's theory, but he said that unless I was stupid too, it was obvious from the chart that a lumbar puncture had been done and it showed that cerebro-spinal fluid pressure was low, not normal. I asked him if he had actually made the remark "stop squinting your eyes" to Dr. Park, and he admitted he had. Dr. Chase came up with the theory that he was hypocalemic. Dr. Adams pointed out that the patient's EKG was normal, but surprisingly Dr. House agreed with Dr. Chase, noting the lab results showed that the patient's potassium levels were abnormal indicating thyrotoxic paralysis. He ordered PTU, beta blockers and steroids.
I asked Dr. House how orange smudges got on the patient's chart. Dr. House said he was eating cheese snacks. However, the marks obviously weren't from cheese snacks and I pressed the point. He admitted he had pranked Dr. Chase by dyeing his hair orange. He said he frequently pranked his team. He noted that his team was made up entirely of career minded, driven individuals and he needed to ensure the tension was broken every once in a while.
I asked Dr. Adams about the prank and she stated that Dr. House preferred chaos over team cohesion. Dr House believed that the mistrust and disagreement led to better ideas. She had to admit that was usually what happened.
After treatment with steroids, Mr. Koppelman regained consciousness and was lucid. He had regained movement in his hands. However, at that moment, Dr. Adams and Dr. Taub learned that the patient had been affected by an explosion, a chemistry demonstration that went poorly. I asked why the explosion hadn't come up in the patient history, and Dr. Taub noted that the patient had been unconscious until the moment his students came to visit and mentioned the explosion. Dr. Taub also noted he was the one who took the initial medical history from the patient's wife, who didn't know about it either. He blamed himself for not doing a more complete job. I asked Dr. Taub if Dr. House thought medical histories were unimportant and that's why he delegated them to his fellows. Dr. Taub assured me that Dr. House believed that medical histories were a vital part of a diagnosis, but didn't think meeting the patient is important as it affects his objectivity. He also said that Dr. House was often right about that.
I asked Dr. House why he didn't do more work himself, and he admitted to being lazy. He also said that the worst way of taking a patient history was talking to the patient as everybody lies. However, he assured me that he would never lie to me. I asked him if the case might have ended differently if he had actually met the patient, but he didn't answer.
However, the answers of Dr. Adams and Dr. Taub did tend to support Dr. House's statement. The patient denied there had been an "explosion", but his students insisted there had been one. There was even a video of it on the internet. However, the patient then started coughing up blood. Dr. House described this as when the case got "interesting". I told Dr. House I thought his reaction to the patient's symptoms was interesting.
The patient recovered and reviewed the video with the doctors. He admitted a student helped set it up and probably added extra hydrofluoric acid. As a result, the large glass beaker exploded when the flame was applied. They surmised that the patient had inhaled some of the excess hydrofluoric acid, burning his lungs. The video also showed the patient had struck his head against the wall backing away from the explosion. A concussion affecting the brainstem explained the loss of consciousness and paralysis.
Dr. Park noted that they finally decided to treat the patient with aerosolized heparin. However, I noted she skipped over the details of the differential diagnosis and was avoiding eye contact. She admitted that during the differential, Dr. House entered the conference room carrying a sulfur dioxide canister and wearing a gas mask to pressure the team into coming up with ideas. She also admitted that Dr. Chase had placed the canister in Dr. House's office to get revenge for the earlier prank, but Dr. House found it. Before coming up with heparin, he rejected a brochoalveolar lavage and silver sulfadiazine as they would most likely result in drowning.
Dr. Park did advise me that she objected to aerosolized heparin because the treatment was experimental. I asked Dr. House about it, but he insisted it has been used successfully on sheep and that given the patient's rapidly deteriorating condition, they needed to do something drastic. I accused Dr. House of pressuring his team to come up with unsafe medical ideas just to avoid being choked by sulphur dioxide. He called it inspiration and noted that the safer available treatments would have been pointless in the circumstances. I asked Dr. Park about Dr. House's idea and she said she had objected to it in the strongest possible terms because it was likely the heparin would increase the amount of bleeding into his lungs. I asked her why she didn't press the matter and she insisted after Dr. House rejected her concerns, she went to Dr. Foreman.
I asked Dr. Foreman about it, and he admitted he told Dr. Park that if Dr. House was trying something risky, he knew it was only because he thought it was the only way to help the patient. He also noted that Dr. House's decision to use heparin had no effect on the outcome of the case. I noted that if he always supported Dr. House's decisions, it would affect how Dr. House's team reacted to his behavior. Dr. Foreman noted he had worked for Dr. House for seven years and generally gave him the benefit of the doubt because Dr. House was brilliant and got excellent results.
I asked Dr. Adams why there was a discharge order for Mr. Koppelman in the chart after he was treated with heparin if he was never actually discharged. She noted that before they released him, they wanted to give him a bath to ensure that none of the chemicals from the explosion were left on his skin. However, during the bath, they found a rash and when they went to examine it, the patient became extremely anxious and attempted to climb out of the bath. He had to be restrained. Dr. Adams felt the rash was a new symptom indicating invasive streptococcus, but Dr. Park was more concerned about the patient's behavior, which she attributed to psychosis caused by the treatment with steroids. Dr. Taub had a third theory to tie these two new symptoms together with the lung problems - granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
Dr. House decided to run a diagnostic trial by giving the patient high doses of steroids. If it were GPA, the patient would quickly improve. If it were streptococcus, the patient would quickly start running a fever combined with low blood pressure and they could treat with antibiotics. If it were steroid induced psychosis, the patient would become more psychotic, eliminating that as a symptom of the underlying illness. I noted that two of the options would make the patient worse. However, Dr. House countered that the real problem was the lack of a diagnosis and that this was the fastest path to getting one. I asked him whether, in hindsight, he thought it had still been a good idea. He thought and said it still was. He argued he had properly accounted for all the possible medical outcomes, just not the behavior of his own team members. I asked Dr. House if Dr. Adams or Dr. Chase was to blame for their disobedience, but he refused to blame either one. I asked him who was to blame, but he didn't answer.
Dr. Chase believed Dr. Adams was right about the streptococcus and decided to do a skin biopsy. However, as they entered the room and Dr. Adams prepared the lidocaine, the patient suffered a psychotic break and attacked Dr. Adams. Dr. Chase rushed to her aid, but had difficulty subduing the patient. Dr. Adams called a code grey. Two orderlies and Dr. Taub rushed to help and Dr. Taub managed to sedate the patient. However, the patient had injured Dr. Chase with the biopsy scalpel he had planned to use, piercing an artery near the heart and lacerating the heart itself. Dr. Taub called for them to get an operating room ready while Dr. Adams plugged the hole in Dr. Chase's chest to prevent him from bleeding out. She blamed herself for the incident.
Dr. House noted the diagnostic trial had worked, showing that the patient had steroid induced psychosis which was not the symptom of an underlying disease. I asked Dr. House why he didn't care more about Dr. Chase's injury. Luckily, they put Dr. Chase on bypass and sutured the wound.
The witnesses agreed that Dr. House came into the operating room to try to continue the differential. Dr. Park asked why Dr. House hadn't listened to her, and he countered that he had and that he admitted she was right. He noted that Dr. Chase hadn't listed to either one of them. He left when the fellows refused to help him with the diagnosis. I asked Dr. Taub if that didn't seem callous, but he noted there was nothing Dr. House could have done for Dr. Chase and he didn't think it was right to punish Dr. House for callousness. He also noted that he himself would not have entered the room given the possibility of psychosis. I asked Dr. Taub if he wasn't implicitly blaming Dr. Chase. Dr. Taub admitted that given the possibility of psychosis, Dr. Chase had endangered himself, Dr. Adams and Mr. Koppelman.
Meanwhile, Dr. House went to retrieve the patient's EKG record. He went to the recovery room to ask his team what would cause excessive R-R variability. However, once again his fellows were more interested in Dr. Chase than Mr. Koppelman. When Dr. House suggested autonomic dysregulation, Dr. Adams shouted at him to shut up. At that point, Dr. Chase regained consciousness and complained that he couldn't feel his legs.
Dr. Chase admitted he was angry with Dr. House about the prank. However, he insisted he wasn't distracted, and he too didn't think the incident was anyone's fault. He also noted that it was Dr. House who came up with the idea that he was suffering from a clot to the arteries of his spinal column. Dr. Taub performed a successful embolectomy and removed the clot.
However, the team agreed that again Dr. House interrupted the embolectomy to ask why Mr. Koppelman's kidneys were now failing and insisted they work on the problem because the patient was being transferred to Princeton General. He blamed the transfer on their lack of objectivity about the patient. However, when asked about it, Dr. Chase said that Dr. House already knew that his team had refused to do any further work on the case and it was merely Dr. House's way of checking up on how he was doing without letting his team know how much he cared. I expressed disbelief that Dr. House's complete lack of concern was evidence of his deep concern for Dr. Chase's well being. I asked why he brought a scalpel into the room when he knew about the risk of a psychotic break. Dr. Chase said he thought he was right about the rash and he would do the same thing again.
Luckily, Dr. Chase started to regain the feeling in his legs. Given Dr. Chase's attitude however, I could only come up with one of three conclusions:
- That Dr. House's methods encourage his team to defy his orders;
- That Dr. Chase was distracted by trying to get revenge for the prank; or
- That Dr. House treats diagnosis like a game that Dr. Chase was trying to win.
In any of these cases, it is clear Dr. House creates an atmosphere that promotes recklessness.
During his final interview, Dr. House left before I could complete my questioning. Mr. Koppelman's transfer to Princeton General was completed.
However, just as I was about to give my decision, Mr. Koppelman asked to speak to me. Just as she was about to leave the hospital, Dr. House came to her to tell her that her husband had a lymph node tumor. Due to the trauma from the explosion, one of the tumors burst open causing tumor lysis syndrome, flooding the patient's body with phosphates and potassium acids. The psychotic break was solely from the use of the steroids and as Dr. House believed, wasn't due to the underlying condition. She told the doctors at Princeton General who found the tumor, removed it and started radiation therapy and plasmapheresis. He was expected to make a full recovery.
Dr. House is obviously brilliant, but Dr. House is also a fiasco. If I were to exonerate him, condone his completely reckless, immature, almost misanthropic behavior, I would essentially be sending a message to all the other doctors in this hospital that it's okay to act that way. Dr. House's process is dangerous, inappropriate - but he is effective. I've decided that I would be doing this hospital a disservice if I did anything to change that process. This unfortunate stabbing incident is officially nobody's fault.

What is Crystal Healing?
As a Hibiscus Moon Certified Crystal Healer, I have a sound understanding of the human electromagnetic field and how crystals interact with it. I have been trained in the science behind it why it works, how to recognize and remedy energetic imbalances or blockages within this field utilizing crystal energy.
A crystal healing session is a deeply relaxing, energizing, clothing on therapy of placing crystals and stones matching frequency on the energetic pressure points of ones body that entrain and are felt by the body at a molecular level.
The goal of a session includes sensing energy flows/blocks to realign your energetic frequencies and remove emotional and energetic blocks, allowing for deep soul learning, healing and spiritual growth.
Crystal healing assists in all areas since energetic imbalances/blockages left untreated can manifest as physical ailments or emotional issues over time.
Crystal Healers recognize crystals are very powerful energetic tools. It's essential that those who use crystals for healing purposes have had adequate training in order to do so in an effective yet secure, safe and sensible manner.
What to Expect
Before the session you will be asked to complete a questionnaire to help better identify what you currently desire from the session. This should be done 24 hours prior to your scheduled session time.
The session itself starts by clearing the space of all negative energies with Sage, Palo Santo wood, gem elixirs and/or essential oils. Audio selections of music chosen to facilitate a relaxed energetic state. All seven, in body, energetic pressure points are checked, have corresponding stones placed and rechecked after stones have been removed. The goal is to clear any blockages, release what no longer serves you, balance energy points and facilitate the natural flow of energy. Session may include utilizing essential oils, gem elixirs and projected visual colors as determined helpful for the client by the crystal healer.
Crystal Healing Sessions (Actual Therapy Time)
30 minutes $50.00 ~ 45 minutes $65.00
What is the proper healing frequency?
The proper healing frequency would depend on what needs healing. Our energy body has many frequencies not just one. The heartbeat of the Earths frequency is 7.83 hertz, this is called the frequency of Life and the Schumann resonance after the man that discovered it.
We have 7 major chakras within our body (like energy pressure points) each has its own natural frequency. Generally the closest body part/organ to the chakra is what needs balancing.
Crystals have their own frequency vibration but they are not subject to emotional entropy as we humans. Their vibration is stable and placing a crystal on each of the chakras…. our body naturally feels this vibration at a molecular level. Our body entrains to the crystals frequency and balances us back to a natural state.
Just as our body will respond to flower essences, natural herbs, essential oils, sound, scent, color and even our thoughts… each has a frequency. All dis-ease shows up first in our energy body… if left unbalanced… it shows up weeks or even months later as a physical issue. Emotional issues are generally related to the Heart Chakra.

AUCKLAND (New Zealand Herald/Pacific Media Watch): Spark New Zealand is seeking a court order for a short-term pause if the proposed Sky TV/Vodafone NZ merger gets the green light from the Commerce Commission.
In a statement to the NZX today, Spark said it was seeking a court ruling for a stay in the event the Commerce Commission cleared the merger this week.
The move comes after Sky TV last week said it would not delay a planned merger with Vodafone New Zealand for a few days to allow for appeals if the deal got regulatory approval next week.
The Commerce Commission is scheduled to make a decision on the deal on February 23, with the companies set to create the country's largest telecommunications and media group, with Sky TV buying Vodafone NZ for $3.44 billion, funded by a payment of $1.25b in cash and the issue of new Sky TV shares at a price of $5.40 per share.
Vodafone becomes a 51 percent majority shareholder in Sky TV, in what amounts to a reverse takeover. The pay-TV operator will borrow $1.8b from Vodafone to fund the purchase, repay existing debt and use for working capital.
Spark's general manager of regulatory affairs John Wesley-Smith said a short pause would provide "breathing space" to assess legal options and background on the decision.
"This is a question of natural justice: to allow Sky and Vodafone to push ahead with the merger without this breathing space would likely mean the merger would already have been effected, and be difficult to unwind, before opposing parties have had a chance to view the detailed reasoning underlying the commission's decision," he said.
Requests rejected
Wesley-Smith said Spark was among other parties who wrote to Sky and Vodafone last week asking for a voluntary agree to a pause in the event the merger gets clearance.
"Sky and Vodafone rejected our requests, so we feel we are left with no choice but to seek a High Court ruling on the matter," he said.
Simon Moutter, chief executive, said Spark objects to the merger on the grounds that it would restrict access to popular sports coverage, and that an effective wholesale regime is necessary to prevent the monopoly position shifting into another market, he said.
"With the merger approved, we think New Zealanders will have fewer choices on how to consume the sport they want available from one company," Moutter said.
"If the merger's not approved, then Sky will be highly incentivised to work with all broadband companies to produce a range of sporting products and bundles that can be delivered in a new way across everyone's services and New Zealanders will be far better off and so will Sky in our view," Moutter said.
A meeting is scheduled at the High Court in Auckland on Wednesday.

It's hard to believe it's already December. It certainly doesn't feel like December outside; yesterday's high was 67 degrees. Yet with all the Christmas lights going up on houses, Christmas music playing on the radio, and cookies baking in the oven, there's no mistaking what month it is. November was a pretty good one too though, so here's my round up from last month.
What I wore:
What I read:
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy: Certainly not a light read, Anna Karenina took a solid month in a half for me to finish. It was sometimes dry and often gloomy, but I have to say overall it was beautiful. Almost subconsciously, I read it as a student would, highlighting themes and commenting on Tolstoy's choices of characters and parallel story-lines I began reading before I knew there was a movie being made, but now I'd like to see it so I can compare Kiera Knightley to the Anna I imagined (who frankly exasperated me most of the time!).
A Grown Up Kind of Pretty by Joshilynn Jackson: What a perfect book to read after Anna: it was a page-turner, but not the take-it-or-leave-it beach read kind. This book was an absolute delight to read; there is no mistaking Jackson's talent as a writer. It tells the story of three generations of women, the oldest two of whom both gave birth at age fifteen. When Mosey, the youngest, turns 15, all three fear what will happen, as fifteen seems to be a "trouble year" for all of them. The trouble comes, but not in the form of a child; instead it's as a mystery when human bones are found buried in their yard. Just as Anne did, I highly recommend this book to anyone. I can't wait to read more by this amazing author!
What I bought:
From Madewell: polka dot t-shirt and bow earrings (I also bought gloves and slippers from Kohl's, but those weren't very exciting purchses.)
What about you, any good reads or fun purchases in November?

Before someone expects a post filled with arrow shooting,tattoo filled, flying dinosaur mounting, oversized Smurfs fighting around my house in Shah Alam, I am actually referring to an equally epic battle right in front of my window and I got to see it!
For the past 5 months already, I've been checking out a bee hive that decided to nest underneath the roof of my house. Lucky for me, the entrance of the beehive is right in front of my window which allows me to monitor their daily activity safely. Today, my father decided to go for the kill...
Entrance hole!
As one would see, the men armed themselves with bug spray as well as a smoke machine to literally smoke the bees out. In case you guys are wondering, they don't come out in numbers of hundreds but THOUSANDS the minute they men began their attack
Nest turned into a steamy sauna in 30 seconds!
Bees fought valiantly to save their honey. So hard that the men could not go near the nest until they had to empty out their poison on the nest to kill most of the bees. Which means that we could not save the honey but at least the bees finally subsided their attack. Bit of trivia here that the smoke DOES NOT actually kill the bees, more stunning them to a daze for a while.
Once everything was cleared, we opened the roof panels to see our prize. Amazingly in the past 5 months, the bees managed to build 7 panels of honey comb inside their hive. Didn't find the queen bee though...
Amazing honeycombs uncovered, dripping with gold honey!
The entire task took them almost 45 minutes because of the bee's resistance to their effort but in the end they prevailed. Quite honestly watching the entire thing take place from an aerial view really reminded me of the Avatar battle. Human goes against nature, nature puts up a fight, humans win with technological advantage. Only this time, they don't have the chance to fight back and we got their prized possession!
Humans 1 - A million Bees 0!
Minus the CGI, cool rocket launchers and weird crying shrieks when their tree was cut down, I say I have a pretty decent show here, right in front of my room. Perhaps that these would be one of those times where we feel our power against nature, especially when they can't fight back! Well, at least for now...
Should not have messed around with Smurfette...
Nang if you like the post guys! Thanks!

Since Boulder Digital Arts keeps its class sizes to a minimum, it is important to pre-register, and pay, ahead of time. If you have not pre-registered, there is the chance that the class will be full when you show up, and you will not be admitted. In addition, by not pre-registering, there is a chance that the class will not be held at all since it might not have met the minimum number of students required.
How do I register more than one person for an event?
To register more than one person, simply register each additional person one at a time under your name, and in the "Notes" section, just indicate the specific individual who will actually be attending or indicate during the online registartion process when asked.
We have a group of people that we'd like to get trained right away but we can't wait till the next time Boulder Digital Arts is offering the class - can we have our own class?
Yes! Boulder Digital Arts has offered corporate and private training for many years. We can provide training at our facility, or we can teach it at your company's location. Please contact us with your needs, and we'll work with you to come up with a curriculum that is not only cost-effective, but also perfectly suited to your company's requirements.
If I need to cancel my class registration, what is the refund policy?
Though we try to be flexible whenever possible, we do have a very detailed refund and credit policy - please click here to read.
What if I'm not happy with a class I just took?
Boulder Digital Arts strives to provide the highest quality training to each and every participant. If for some reason you are ever unhappy with the quality of instruction you have received, please let us know immediately by emailing us through our contact form, or simply emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
What happens if a class is canceled due to bad weather?
Boulder Digital Arts very rarely cancels a workshop when the weather is bad. If the weather is severe enough that we decide to cancel, we will call AND e-mail everyone registered for the class as soon as we make the decision. If you do not hear from us, assume the class is on! Please keep in mind that if you are interested in a class but have not registered, you will not receive ANY notifications about its status, so please register early! In addition, please be sure to have a current phone number listed in your profile, so that we're able to call you ahead of time.

Friends, Now a days GST is in question for all. For maintaining accounts or raising invoices / bills HSN (Harmonised System of Nomenclature) codes are required for each and every item.
About HSN
HSN is Harmonised System of Nomenclature. HSN number was already being used for assigning Excise Duty on Manufactured goods in India.
International Usage
It is a multipurpose international product nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO). The system is used by more than 200 countries and economies as a basis for their Customs tariffs and for the collection of international trade statistics. It is also extensively used by governments, international organizations and the private sector for many other purposes such as internal taxes, trade policies, monitoring of controlled goods, rules of origin etc.
Not all Suppliers need to mention HSN code on their invoices issued. (Update on 16 june 2017)

Owned and managed by Erie MetroParks, the 1,300-acre Edison Woods Preserve is one of the largest contiguous blocks of woodland in the region. As such, it harbors a great diversity of forest-breeding birds such as Pileated Woodpecker, Acadian Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, Hooded Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, and Scarlet Tanager. The forested areas of the preserve can also be great for migrant songbirds both spring and fall. Grasslands are also present, and these support several species of nesting sparrows and other grassland birds, and can harbor Northern Harrier and Short-eared Owl in winter.
Nearly 500 species of plants have been identified on the site to date, and the spring wildflowers are impressive. The very rare long-bracted orchid, Coeloglossum viride, has been found, as has the equally rare common oak fern, Gymnocarpium dryopteris.

Feel free to download and unzip the data (zones.zip file) attached to this article if you'd like to perform these steps yourself as we go along!
This tutorial will show you how to convert a MapInfo TAB (MITAB) (*.tab) file to Bentley Microstation DGN (*.dgn) format using FME. We'll see how symbology can be modified with the DGNStyler transformer, and split the output data into Microstation levels based on a category for each zone. We'll also look at setting Microstation tags and changing the seed file from 3D to 2D.
Step-by-Step Instructions
To complete the process described in the video, you will need to carry out the following steps.
1) Start FME Workbench
In Windows this is found under Start > All Programs > FME Desktop > FME Workbench
2) Select Generate Workspace
This is found on the Create Workspace section of the FME Workbench interface. Alternatively, use Ctrl+G as a shortcut.
3) Browse to and select the source (Reader) dataset
Select MapInfo TAB (MITAB) for the reader; do this by typing the name into the field until it appears within the dropdown list. Navigate to the Zones.tab file and select it.
4) Set the output (Writer) format to Bentley Microstation Design (V8) DGN
Select Microstation DGN for the format for the writer; do this by typing the name into the field until it appears within the dropdown list.
5) Set the output dataset location
In the video, it is set to C:\FMEData2018\Output. However, you can set your output location to whatever best suits your directory structure.
6) Modify the output (Writer) Parameters
For the writer parameters, I can set various parameters to do with how the DGN data is created by clicking the Parameters button.
7) Modify Symbology using the DGNStyler (optional)
If I wanted to change the symbology, I would use the DGNStyler transformer. In this case we will keep the original symbology.
8) Modify the output (Writer) Properties
When I open the ouptput properties dialog box, I can see that the output is all being written to a single level called 'zones'. I will change this to take the 'ZoneCategory' of each feature as the level it should be written to. Now I will get a separate level for each category of zone.
9) Click the Run button on the toolbar
Run the workspace by clicking on the green play button. This carries out the translation.
10) View the DGN file in a MicroStation Viewer
Once complete, use a file browser to locate the output dataset. If we use a 3rd party CAD viewer such as MicroStation Viewer to inspect the data, we will see that the data in the DGN file has been written as a separate level for each category of zone.

Check Out the Air Jordan 4 "Raptors" Drake PE
It's been a long time coming for Toronto Raptors fans.
As the team made their historical NBA Finals debut this post season, all eyes have been on Drake. As you know, the die-hard Raptors fan can be seen the sidelines at every Raptors game, cheering on his home squad. It was only right that the Jordan Brand dedicated a sneaker to both the team and Drake - the team's global ambassador.
Utilizing the OG Air Jordan 7 silhouette, the "Raptors" edition is dipped in a black nubuck upper that's contrasted with "Court Purple" and "University Red" highlights found on the TPU frames and heel guard. Drake's signature can also be found on the tongue label along with additional Jumpman branding. The midsole is covered in a speckled black and purple combo.
Check out more photos of the release below. The Air Jordan 4 "Raptors" is available NOW on the Nike SNKRS app and website as well as select retailer for $200 USD.
We've also compiled photos of some of our favorite Drake moments at Toronto Raptors games.

Cottage 14 was a house we started last year about this time and finished it up and got it sold in the middle of the Great Recession last January - the mortgage market was so screwed up that the lenders were actually calling the employers of these two woman the day of closing in order to verify - for the 3rd time - that they still had jobs.
It was a crazy time last winter - that's for sure, when the whole world froze up. I got to hand it to the Catskill Farms team, to the homeowners Albert, Dean, Gayle, Nick, Jeanne and Deb - I mean, we got it done when it couldn't be done.
So I was driving around with John and Wendy who are friends of Stan and Leslie from Farmhouse 3 - and I was showing off the houses and we stopped by Albert's where Gus and his wife Malin were raking shit and burning shit and then we cruised past Jeanne and Deb's and they were raking shit and burning shit too.
Seems like the city slickers love to come up to their house and rake shit and burn shit.
Cottage 14 is a real unique cottage, - very kitchen-centric with a double high ceiling and big fans swirling.
So I like to go over and check things out on Friday's or Saturday's just about at about happy hour time - because turns out Jeanne and Deb are master martini makers and I love martinis. I brought Lucas along to this shindig this past weekend.
The guy can't keep his socks on to save his life.
Jeanne and Deb mixing up the cocktails, showing Lucas how it's done.
And a living room baby shot. GI Joe Lucas doing his special forces crawl.
And a series of funky moon shots with my fancy camera that is a lot smarter than me.
Real estate in the Catskills symbolizes a traditional and slower way of life. We recreate that romantic house on the hill with our new old designs. Fireplaces, wrap-around porches, wide plank floors and vintage fixtures are only the beginning of these Catskill real estate offerings. Catskill Farms has saved more than a few families from the 'this old house fantasy'. We build homes that work - from day 1. Curated by: Charles Petersheim

Title: I'll Meet You There
Author: Heather Demetrios
Rating: 5/5 Stars
Hardcover, 400 Pages
Published February 2015
Add it on Goodreads!
Summary: If seventeen-year-old Skylar Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby on her hip, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell. But after graduation, the only thing standing between straightedge Skylar and art school are three minimum-wage months of summer. Skylar can taste the freedom—that is, until her mother loses her job and everything starts coming apart. Torn between her dreams and the people she loves, Skylar realizes everything she's ever worked for is on the line.Amber and I received a copy as this book as a giveaway prize, and we honestly don't remember which one of us entered because we were both interested in it. So we both decided to read it (and I got to read it first - muahahahahahaha >:D).
Nineteen-year-old Josh Mitchell had a different ticket out of Creek View: the Marines. But after his leg is blown off in Afghanistan, he returns home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be. What brings Skylar and Josh together is working at the Paradise—a quirky motel off California's dusty Highway 99. Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into an unexpected friendship and soon, something deeper.
And let me just say, this is my favorite book I've read this year by far. The story is about a teen girl named Skylar who seems to be stuck in the middle of nowhere - Creek View. A town in California where you spend your weekends drinking beers by the creek and ending up pregnant and living in a trailer with a handful of babies. And that's not the life Skylar wants to live. Not at all. (Even if it is the life that her best friend Dylan lives.)
So Skylar gets a full ride to an art school in San Francisco. And she's more than excited until Josh Mitchell, egomaniac extraordinaire, comes back from serving as a Marine in Afghanistan.
And he's missing a leg.
All of a sudden, Josh isn't the guy Skylar originally thought he was. And to her horror, she's beginning to fall for him...and considering giving up all she's ever worked for to get out of Creek View, only to stay with him.
This was such a fantastic book. Seriously. I just can't sing enough praises about it. From the minute I picked this book up, I couldn't make myself put it down. I was captivated by Skylar's story and her sad background and the loss of her dad. I was incredulous at the way her mother treated her when another man walked into her life. (And then she forgave her like everything was all perfect and okay??? That ticked me off a little but didn't take away from the quality of the book whatsoever.)
And the charisma between Skylar and Josh....gosh. Just let me fangirl for a second here:
Okay, I'm done now. Calm and collected. Kind of.
The romance developing between these two was that undeniable, but paced perfectly. There wasn't a drop of insta-love, which is good because romance that progresses too fast is one of my biggest pet peeves. Skylar first couldn't stand Josh, and then she warmed up to him, and then relied on his friendship, and then...something more.
Speaking of that "something more," feel free to skip the rest of this paragraph if you don't want anything spoiled for you. ....The love scenes between Josh and Skylar were so adorable that I was squealing and sending screenshots to my co-blogger all night long. Demetrios creates witty, adorable, characters with just the perfect balance of snark and seriousness. The relationship dynamic between these two when Skylar gave Josh her all....asdfghjkl. Lots of fangirl keyboard-pounding.
As for the ending? I was surprisingly satisfied. An epilogue would have been nice if only for the reason that I just never wanted this book to end and another chapter would've prolonged its ending. And I want to see where Skylar and Josh pick up from that ending.
If I can sum my review up in a fangirl-induced sentence: UGH, JUST READ THIS BOOK I PROMISE YOU WILL LOVE IT FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER.
All in all, I'll Meet You There has officially climbed to the rank of my favorite book of 2015 as of right now. I devoured this book and was sad to have it come to an end. I'm so so so glad we won this in a giveaway because I probably wouldn't have picked it up as soon as I did otherwise (it probably would have ended up MIA in my TBR list since it's growing by the day and I very rarely seem to make a dent in it). I recommend this book to anybody looking for a sweet, different read, something gripping and totally emotional. Pretty much anybody and everybody needs to pick this book up. Read it!! Do it now!!

Toronto Tango
Alberto Dassieu, a true Maestro
Having had the pleasure of watching Alberto Dassieu for years in the milongas in Buenos Aires and dancing with him upon hearing he was doing a North American tour in 2011 with a stop in Toronto the idea of taking a private class with him struck home. What would we talk about, dance, what did I want the legend to share with me?
Upon reflection the easiest course that came to mind for me was hoping he would share a little bit of his insights into the orchestra Carlos di Sarli. Of course he would have some interesting views on the topic and want to include me in on them with his long experience.
The class was very interesting and right after we danced one beautiful tango Alberto honoured me with the invitation to do some demonstations with him in Toronto.
Even though we didn't have the opportunity to ever practise together; when our chance came to share a beautiful tango at a milonga, Alberto was utterly clear with the vision that we should dance the Tango "Llueve otra vez".
Thank you for sharing a little with me Alberto Dassieu, a true Maestro.
About the music:
Llueve otra vez
Tango 1944
Música: Juan José Guichandut
Letra: Juan José Guichandut
Escucha corazón
el eco de su voz…
Escucha, corazón, está lloviendo
y la lluvia va tejiendo
los recuerdos de su amor.
¡Qué pena, corazón!
No es ella, ni es su voz.
Tan sólo es la obsesión que me domina,
el recuerdo que castiga
desde su adiós.
y un látigo de luz me azota,
relámpago de fiebre loca.
La lluvia, sin cesar,
golpeando en el cristal,
renueva la emoción perdida.
Y entre la bruma creo ver su imagen,
igual que entonces, diciendo adiós.
y el cielo se llenó de sombras,
lo mismo que mi corazón.
Tristeza que dejó
el eco de su voz.
Tristeza de esperar inútilmente
y creer que nuevamente
con la lluvia volverá.
¡No esperes, corazón!
¡No penes por su amor!
Mañana cuando el sol radiante asome
al calor de otros amores,
As the music introduction unfolds, within the dreamy embrace of my partner, my eyes close and mind travels to a place where music and movement reigns.
I step, swirl, pivot, turn and glide in a trance like state.
We breathe together and allow our bodies to melt into the music and absorb the vocal and instrumental lines.
Together we unite as collaborative partners in this realm and dance our beloved tango.
Dancing from the heart
Do you ever wonder how musicians create a piece of music like the tango "Margo" and make it so haunting and beautiful?
The mood within this piece simply begs to be danced slowly and with heart.
Each time I listen to the alluring orchestral introduction which quickly runs into the wonderful vocal melody, my mood becomes melancholy, wistful, and somehow this even slows me down.
The introduction prepares one for the story that is about to unfold musically and in the lyrics.
The musicians that created these gems, loved music. They also loved tango. From this base they chose each music note with great care and respect.
The 1940's must of been a thrilling time for tango musicians.
If we listen very carefully to the music we can almost imagine our friends from so long ago dancing with us.
Welcoming Claudio to Canada this February…
Join us on Wednesday February 19th at WE Tango to welcome Claudio Strang to Toronto and take part in a special class that will focus on dancing milonga. (How appropriate at a milonga hosted by John Needham!)
A series of classes & workshops will be held throughout February. Please join Isabella and Claudio and take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn their beloved 'close embrace' Tango."
Claudio and Isabella dance the beautiful close embrace style of Tango that reflects the intimacy of the downtown milongas in Buenos Aires. Their simplicity, elegance and passion can be seen in this recent demonstration that was filmed in Cachirulo, El Beso as a 'despedida' for Isabella."
WE Tango
Dear friends,
Pam and John … founders of We Tango … are taking some time off and luckily a few friends of mine gently suggested that I should offer to help them out. To my surprise the ever gracious couple have taken me up on my offer and here I go again … back at Swansea Town Hall.
Please join me on Wednesday nights, from 8p.m. to 10:45p.m. to share some beautiful music, friends and "charla".
See you there!
"Papas Caliente" by Donato seemed the perfect milonga to dance last week in Buenos Aires since there seemed to be no milongas available with titles like….'Cool breezes' or 'Milonga de Patagonia'…. as it happened to be the warmest day ever on record for September.
Still winter but at 29 degrees Celsius who would believe that?
The dancing became much more 'quiet and still' reminiscent of how the older milongueros do it… with great reserve and many years of practise of pacing themselves for the long hours spent at the milongas. (Recently a new place to dance at in Buenos Aires opened up with the hours from 17:00 to 03:00! I wonder if there are participants that stay for the full ten hours? And let's not even talk about the complexities of DJ'ing such an event on a regular basis.)
The weather, mood, provided a lovely chance to dance simply, elegantly and within the embrace of a beautiful dancer…Claudio Strang.
Tango in tiny spaces…
Wood floor, lovely music, nice partner….but oops!
How do I adjust my dance to this tiny little floor space?
Well, nothing beats an embrace that gets a little closer, steps a little smaller and of course more contra-body movement. Connect in a way that is even more intimate.
Breathe and flow with the music and dance creating small spirals as a group.
The milongas in Buenos Aires have this down to a science practically. Everyone dances in a counter-clockwise motion and 'lanes' are formed. The group breathes and moves together and an honour of a milonguero is to make sure his partner "never" touches anyone. Passing happens rarely and if it ever does it is from the left.
To see this mass moving together really is something beautiful and special.
Please join us Sunday June 2 at El Almacen and enjoy the beautiful tango music and embrace your own 'small space dancing' skills!

PALMYRA � A Philadelphia woman was charged Saturday with stealing a purse from a shopper at the Tacony Flea Market on Route 73, police said Tuesday.
Naeemah Shabazz, 30, allegedly took the purse about 11:21 a.m., after the victim had set it down on a table, and tossed it in the bed of a nearby pickup truck.
Shabazz was arrested at the market and charged with theft. She was released after posting the required 10 percent of $2,500 bail.
The purse was recovered, but the wallet and $30 in cash were missing.

One of the reasons I love writing for young readers is because I get to come up with fun characters. But coming up with fun characters is not as easy as it sounds. You have to travel way out of the box if you want to enchant your readers, so having a wild imagination helps. But there really is a process in developing fun characters.
What works for me is first looking around in your mind the area you want your story to take place. When I wrote The Secret World of Farallon, I had to look in the ocean and be aware of what was going on out there. I actually didn't have a clue about what goes on in the ocean, which essentially allowed me to use my imagination to create a world under the sea that wasn't hindered by what was actually happening down there.
The first thing I did was think of some kind of fish that was genuinely harmless, and yet everyone wanted to avoid. I thought about the human world and homeless people came to mind. Most people try to avoid them because they are typically perceived as dirty and un-kept. Most people don't want to hear about what made them homeless, or how they can help them. Many people just find it easier to avoid them all together and pretend they don't exist.
Then I started thinking about what it was that caused this poor fish to be so undesirable. So I thought of some kind of a cute critter that we have on land that sends people running in the other direction. Have you ever noticed how cute a skunks eyes are? Probably not, since you are only looking at the black coat with the distinctive white stripes running down its back. Cool! I wonder if there was such a thing as a "Skunk Fish."
I did come research and there it was. Actually there are many types of skunk fish but I wanted to keep it simple so I chose the one that looked like a little gold fish with a single white line running down its back from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. I also learned that skunk fish don't actually stink. They are just called a skunk fish because of its markings.
Then I incorporated that whole image into my story in The Secret World of Farallon by introducing the skunk fish that Farallon was trying desperately to avoid because of his stinky reputation. Since the other main character, Eric, had never encountered a skunk fish before, he had no preconceived ideas of why this little fish should be avoided.
Naming this little fish was fun too. I did more research in my trusty thesaurus and looked up any word that had to do with smells, fragrance or aroma and I came up with Redolent. Now my new skunk fish as a new name…Redolent. Perfect!
The more fun you have in doing the research and putting a lot of thought into your characters makes a huge difference in your writing. The more fun you have developing your characters, the more fun your readers will enjoy learning more about them.

The unnamed mother of Aladdin was conceived in the early stages for Aladdin; at one point she had a major role in one draft for the film. However, as development progressed, the character was removed from the film (along with many other characters) to streamline the story. However, on the Aladdin DVD, the scene where she and the Genie urge Aladdin to tell Jasmine the truth is included in the deleted scenes. In the actual film, it is stated in "One Jump Ahead" that Aladdin has no parents.
Although the character was removed from the film, her presence in the franchise was not: in the film Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Aladdin mentions that his mother died when he was a kid. It was also clarified that Aladdin lived with her and her husband Cassim until the latter decided to leave the family in hopes of finding a better life for them. While Cassim was away, Aladdin's mother unexpectedly died, leaving the young Aladdin to become an orphan and subsequently a thief. Meanwhile, Cassim would return to the abandoned home too late and believe his wife and son had died, and in his grief he was motivated to become the leader of the Forty Thieves.
Before Cassim left, Cassim asked his wife to give Aladdin his dagger, a request she had apparently carried out before she died as Aladdin possessed the dagger until adulthood, which is what causes Cassim to discover Aladdin's true identity when the two reunite years later.
Role in the film
In an earlier rendition, the plot of Aladdin revolved around Aladdin raised in the lower parts of Agrabah with his mother. At the beginning of the story, Aladdin's mother was very frustrated with her son because he was supporting her with thievery and she wanted to be able to make her living an honest way. One day, Aladdin's mother made plans to go out and sell a rug that she had previously woven, hoping to get a fair price for it. When Aladdin volunteered to do it for her, she begrudgingly let him but warned him to keep out of trouble. Unfortunately, Aladdin ended up losing the rug to a swindler.
Upon learning of this, Aladdin's mother became very distressed and despite her son's objections, agreed to sell her engagement ring. It was at this point that Aladdin realized that he had never been a very good son and that night as his mother slept, he secretly returned her engagement ring while vowing to one day make her proud via the song "Proud Of Your Boy".
Her son returned from the Cave of Wonders with the Genie, Aladdin's mother was very pleased to find that the Genie could provide for them. She was even happier after Aladdin had made his wish to become a prince, because she was invited to come and live in the palace with him. However, she was still very displeased with her son for deceiving Jasmine and believed that he owed it to Jasmine to tell her the truth.
At the end of the film, when Aladdin finally came clean to Jasmine about who he is, his mother hugged him and stated that she had never been more proud of him.
- In terms of looks, she slightly resembles the mother of the Balcony Harem Girls except shorter and more gentle looking.
- In the Disney franchise, Aladdin's mother's name is never mentioned but in the British pantomime version she is known as "Widow Twankey" because Aladdin's father was presumed dead. The name "Twankey" comes from a cheap blend of Chinese tea.
- There is a concept art image of the main cast that includes Aladdin's mother. Most of the character's names are below and under Aladdin's mother is a name; the first letter looks sort of like an "H" however it is very hard to make out.
- Aladdin's mother appeared in issue 6 of the comic book series published by Marvel Comics. Her name was Zena and is as adventurous as her future son. She's married to a lamp seller named Hamid. She also apparently named Aladdin after a dog.

With the label associated with several controversies, Knight finally was sentenced to prison for violating parole on the evening in which Tupac Shakur was killed. Knight has afterwards confronted fiscal problems and much more jail time.
He received the nickname "Suge," short for "Sugar Bear," from his dad, who had been also a vocalist.
Knight played briefly as a defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams before employed as a bodyguard—with one of his customers being vocalist Bobby Brown—and making inroads into the music business. He began his own publishing company from the late '80s and had tunes which were reputedly employed by Vanilla Ice for his hit To the Extreme record (1990), using the rapper after signing over royalties to Knight in a balcony assembly.
With added hits had with Snoop Dogg's 1993 record introduction along with the 1994 Over the Rim soundtrack, Death Row became a significant power in the establishment of West Coast hip hop on the '90s graphs.
Not in the music sector, Knight was involved with an automobile hydraulics company and started the Vegas night spot Nightclub 662; he was noticed for his charity to local California communities at the same time. Yet much conjecture and controversy followed Death Row, with investigations directed by police authorities across the label's engagement in racketeering, gang and drug-associated tasks. Knight himself had been put on probation multiple times with charges that contained weapons possession, assault and attempted murder, and claims circulated that he used intimidation to secure deals.
After having bond paid by Knight in regards to sexual assault charges, Tupac Shakur signed with Death Row in the mid-'90s, later releasing All Eyez on Me (1996). He was riding in a vehicle driven by Knight when Shakur was shot on September 7, 1996, using the rapper dying from his injuries. Earlier in the evening Knight was involved with a videotaped melee in the MGM Grand and had therefore violated his probation stipulations, receiving a jail term of nine years and serving less time, from 1996 to 2001.
Upon his release from prison, Suge Knight relaunched his label utilizing the moniker Tha Row, but received more jail time in 2003. Knight afterwards filed for bankruptcy protection in 2006 after a court ruling where he was to create a multimillion dollar payment into a company who claimed she was a crucial player in creating Death Row. The label was finally sold in 2008, and Knight has later faced more court charges.
In 2011, it had been declared that director Antoine Fuqua would be taking care of a documentary on Knight's life to be featured on the cable network Showtime.
