In June 1998, there were two major changes in relation to air quality and how it is reported:
- national standards were set for how air quality is measured (using six criteria air pollutants)
- national reporting process was introduced.
The six criteria pollutants measured to assess national standards are ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particles as PM10 and particles as PM2.5 and lead.
In 2002, the then Environment Protection Authority began reporting on these pollutants to the national body. In 2006, the then OEH stopped monitoring lead as levels became undetectable.
The old Regional Pollution Index (RPI) was replaced by an Air Quality Index (AQI) in 2008 based on the five criteria pollutants (as per national standards) plus visibility (as per a standard set by the then NSW Office of Environment and Heritage) at all sites in the air quality monitoring network. NOTE: All indexes for air quality data collected prior to 2008 were recalculated using the new AQI and are now reported in this format.
In 1993, following a major review of monitoring needs, the NSW Government upgraded the monitoring network and extended it to the lower Hunter, Illawarra and western area of Sydney.
As a consequence of the expansion of the network, daily reporting of air quality was also reviewed, resulting in the reporting of a Regional Pollution Index (RPI). The RPI was produced for three regions in Sydney (Eastern Sydney, North Western Sydney and South Western Sydney) three sites in the lower Hunter (Newcastle, Wallsend and Beresfield) and three sites in the Illawarra (Wollongong, Kembla Grange and Albion Park).
Pre 1993
Sydney's air has been monitored for a range of pollutants since the 1960s. By the early 1980s, daily air quality reports were being released, based specifically on concentrations of ozone and fine particles. These Sydney Pollution Index (SPI) reports used a simple linear scale that reported pollution levels as low, medium or high. The SPI measured ozone and fine particles from 6am to 3pm. This reflected an emphasis on visible pollution and focused on daytime visibility as a measure of air quality.
At that time Sydney's population lived mainly east of Parramatta and in the south-western areas of Liverpool/Campbelltown. Monitoring was therefore concentrated in these areas.

This statement was made on September 25, 2010 at "A 1325 Call to Action", ministerial meeting in preparation for the 10th anniversary of Security Council Resolution 1325. It is hosted as part of the Commitments Database project (link: www.peacewomen.org/commitments).
At the outset allow me to thank the Secretary-General as well as Canada, Bangladesh, Chile, Namibia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the UK and the Civil Society Advisory Group for co-hosting this ministerial-level side event. I fully share the view expressed by the previous speakers that progress on the issue of Women, Peace and Security has unfortunately been mostly on paper so far. As an active member of the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security, which has proven to be an indispensible tool in shaping the Women, Peace and Security agenda, Liechtenstein fully subscribes to the call to action. 10 years after the adoption of Resolution 1325, we must finally make concrete progress.
We continue to make our contribution in this regard. In partnership with Switzerland, we finance the "Monthly Action Points" on Women, Peace and Security. These Action Points highlight how the Security Council can live up to its responsibility by integrating thematic aspects on women, peace and security, in its daily work and how each Presidency can provide leadership in this regard.
Furthermore, again together with Switzerland, we support the publication of a handbook on women, peace and security, which will be available at the 10th anniversary of resolution 1325 in October. The handbook will help the Security Council in its daily work to address the needs of women when designing mandates for missions on the ground. I hope that members of the Friends Group will find the handbook useful and promote the dissemination of its contents.
Finally, we support international efforts to end impunity for the most serious crimes - including those committed against women during conflict. This includes continued financial support for the ICC Trust Fund for Victims which adopts a gender‐based perspective across all programming and specifically targets victims of all forms of sexual and gender violence. Most importantly, the Trust Fund provides direct assistance to victims and thus has an immediate impact on the ground. The Rome Statute of the ICC significantly advances international law by the way it treated sexual violence, in particular as a crime against humanity. The Security Council must make much better use of these important developments.
Finally, let me emphasize that we continue to support the Group of Friends of Women, Peace and Security. We hope that the work of the Group will help the Council in adopting action-oriented measures for the full and effective implementation of this agenda at the end of October.
I thank you.

Dietary fiber is much helpful in maintaining food move through your intestine. When you go for a high-fiber diet, you would be able to get rid of waste from your body and thus keep a healthy colon, because fibers go through your colon undigested while they could also be absorbed in water, large, so a large amount of would be formed and pass through your bowels quickly and easily. Therefore you should know something about a high fiber diet as follows:
Types of High-Fiber Foods
If you want to be engaged in a high-fiber diet, you should be aware of what kinds of foods high in fiber should be incorporated into your diet. The goal you try to achieve is that the minimum of 25 to 30 grams of fiber should be included in your daily diet. There are two different kinds of high-fiber foods you should take into account:
The first one is soluble fiber, which could be dissolved in water and helpful in reduction of cholesterol and glucose. At the same time, it could also assist with absorption of sugars so as to bring blood sugar to a lower level. Being dissolved in water, such fiber would create kind of gel-like substance. If you want to have more soluble fiber foods, you should take foods such as oatmeal, oats, peas and beans, citrus fruits as well as apples.
The second is insoluble fiber that is quite useful in alleviating constipation and regulating bowel movements through promotion of digestion in a better way. The insoluble fiber foods include vegetables brans, nuts and whole grains. In order to cleanse the colon, such high fiber foods should not be much processed for the aim of maintaining the "roughage" as necessary as possible.
High-Fiber Foods in the Daily Diet
When you are intended to increase the dietary fiber in your daily diet, you should try to begin with it slowly by having fiber foods step by step over a period of two weeks. When you have more fresh vegetables and fruits in your every meal, you should cut down the intake of meat and dairy products as well. Before you take some foods, you should read product labels to get a better idea about the amount of fiber contained in such foods. Putting food charts on the wall of your kitchen could also be helpful to know which high-fiber foods should be incorporated into your each meal.
Instead of having highly processed flour or cereals, you had better go for the whole grains in your recipes. As far as more fiber is concerned, you should take more fresh or stewed fruits rather than processed jellies and jams. If you want to eat salads, the dried fruits or raw vegetables like celery and carrots should be a good option. As for butter, you should take nut butters, almond or cashew in particular in your daily diet. White pasta and rice should be replaced in recipes with brown rice and whole-grain even if you have to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
When transitioning to a high-fiber diet, it is important to drink at least eight full glasses of water daily to assist in digestion and moving waste out of the body.
Experts also recommend drinking 64 fluid ounces of liquid a day, preferably water.

A brazen attack on the rule of law. There is no other way to describe Donald Trump's firing of FBI director James Comey. Recalling the dismissal of Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox, Democratic senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania rightly called the act "Nixonian". But it is more than that.
Russia's criminal interference in our presidential election represents one of the great scandals in our history. Whether there was actual collusion between the Russians and members of Trump's election team is, at present, impossible to say.
We do know that the FBI had sufficient concerns to launch a probe. We know that the man named by then president-elect Trump to serve as his national security adviser , Michael Flynn, apparently sought to assure the Russians that they would suffer no adverse consequences as a result of their attack on our democracy.
Whether Flynn acted on his own renegade initiative or at the behest of Trump is just one of the many questions that remain unanswered. And these are the questions that Trump now hopes will never be answered.
The reasons given for Comey's dismissal fail the straight-face test. If we are to accept the administration's stated rationale, summarized in a fatuous memo by the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, the FBI's ongoing probe played no role in the firing. No, Comey had to go because of the "substantial damage" that FBI's "reputation and credibility have suffered" as a result of Comey's handling of the Clinton email investigation.
The play is too clever by a half. Many Democrats continue to revile Comey for reopening the email probe in the waning days of the election. But the suggestion that Trump has belatedly come to share the concerns that have vexed Democrats is transparent in its cynicism.
Memo aside, this is nothing more than a heavy-handed attempt to abort an ongoing investigation. Needless to say, such behavior does not suggest innocence. But that is hardly the point. What is most shocking is that by attacking an independent investigation into executive malfeasance, Trump promises to complete the task that the Russians started.
Even if innocent of collusion, Trump has done something almost as bad – he has undermined investigative independence, a mainstay of rule-based governance. The Russians need no longer expend their energies trying to subvert the integrity of our political system. Now they have our president to do that job.
Trump has made no secret of his admiration of the Erdoğans and Dutertes of the world, strong-arm leaders who make a mockery of constitutional governance.
Even as Russia-US relations have taken a nosedive in recent weeks, Trump has never so much as breathed a word of criticism of Vladimir Putin, the very man who must be viewing the chaos he has unleashed upon the American political landscape with cold, expressionless delight.

Dame Helen Mirren may be 62, but it seems she has no plans to stop stripping off.
The Oscar and Emmy-winner, who has taken her clothes off in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover and more recently in Calendar Girls, says she enjoys baring all, reports the Daily Express.
"I am a nudist at heart," she said. "I have been to many nudist beaches. It is amazing how quickly feelings of self-consciousness disappear.
"Of course it only works if everyone else is naked too."
She also reportedly revealed she has no plans to add a no-nudity clause to her work.
"I have never said 'never again' to nudity and I am not going to," she said.
The actress recently admitted that getting naked got easier as you got older.
"As you get older, the naked stuff gets easier because it's more to do with the role than what the men in the audience are thinking. There's a liberation about it," she explained.
Interesting – but would HM approve…

Click the download button above or alternative link below to download thousands of books in PDF file format.
NYPD Red's finest detectives are about to investigate a brutal crime scene in Central Park . . . but even their training can't prepare them for the biggest case of their careers.
When NYPD Red arrives at a crime scene, everyone takes notice. Known as the protectors of the rich, famous, and connected, NYPD Red is the elite task force called in only for New York City's most high-profile crimes. And Detective Zach Jordan is the best of the best, a brilliant and relentless pursuer of justice. He puts professionalism above all, ignoring his feelings for his partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald, the woman who broke his heart when they first met in the academy.
But even with their top-notch training, Zach and Kylie aren't prepared for what they see when they're called to a crime scene in the heart of Central Park. They arrive to find a carousel spinning round and round, its painted horses grinning eerily in the early morning dark. There is only one rider: a brutally slaughtered woman, her body tied up and dressed in a Hazmat suit, on display for the world to see.
The victim, a woman of vast wealth and even greater connections, is the fourth in a string of shocking murders that have hit the city. As the public pressure mounts, and political and personal secrets of the highest order hang in the balance, Zach and Kylie must find out what's really behind the murderer's rampage. But Kylie has been acting strange recently-and Zach knows whatever she's hiding could threaten the biggest case of their careers.
NYPD Red 2 is the next outstanding novel in James Patterson's newest series, a thriller that careens through New York City and deep into the psyche of a depraved killer you've never seen before.

101 Fantastic Freebies
Today's Best Tech Deals
Picked by PCWorld's Editors
Top Deals On Great Products
Picked by Techconnect's Editors
File Sharing and Storage
This clever site combines personal, online storage with file sharing. You get 5GB of free space to store your files. You can either keep the files private or share them with other users, on a folder-by-folder basis. The service imposes just one limitation: No file can be larger than 100MB.
Torrent Swapper
Though BitTorrent has become the de facto protocol for sharing files, the BitTorrent client leaves a lot to be desired. Get this far superior, and faster, open-source client instead. It's easy to use, and it lets you get recommendations from others about files to download; it also allows you to stop, pause, resume, and queue downloads.
Want to share files, but don't want to be tied exclusively to the BitTorrent protocol? This simple-to-use free download allows you to share files on multiple networks and protocols, including BitTorrent, Gnutella, Gnutella2, and eDonkey. It offers fast search and chat capabilities, and you can skin it to your taste as well.
(Editors' note: After publishing this article, we heard from a member of the open-source team that originally developed Shareaza. The developers say that the version of Shareaza we pointed to is based on the open-source code they developed, but is not authorized by them. For more on the controversy, see this article. And to download the open-source version of Shareaza, go to shareaza.sourceforge.net.)
Microsoft Office Live Workspace
This is, by far, the most powerful free file-sharing site you can find. It's closer to a full-blown collaboration tool, and it links directly to Microsoft Office so that you can edit your online files using Office applications. The service is ideal for small businesses looking for a way to collaborate on common documents.
Don't expect sophistication or any bells and whistles here. This service is a simple, straightforward way to store up to 1GB of files online for free.
This simple, no-frills storage site also lets you share files with other people. You get 1GB of free storage, and you can send colleagues links to your files so they can download them. It has as basic an interface as you will find. One important note: Make sure to create "tags" (the equivalents of folders) and then upload files to your tags; otherwise, you may never unearth the files again.
MP3 Rocket
You can do more with this Gnutella client than just share and download files. You can also listen to Internet radio stations, watch online video channels, and burn your own CDs.
If you want to share media and other kinds of files, the task doesn't get much easier than on this site. Upload your files to the service, and you'll have access to them online whenever you want. You can then share them with others in various ways, including sending an e-mail link to the storage site. It's also a good way to publish photos and media to a Web site or blog, since you can put a link in your page to the file being hosted on Bluestring.

I've put more kids to bed than I have gardens. But I do know I need to harvest all the vegetables from the raised beds before cleaning up the soil and covering anything that needs to be tucked in for a long winter's nap.
I've canned and frozen my way through more abundant crops this year (frozen tomatoes, canned hot peppers), but I'd be remiss if I didn't give a nod to a third food preservation technique: dehydration.
I'm talking zesty zucchini chips, mouthwatering melon seeds, kale-idiscopic cherub dust and dried green tomatoes. Yes, my tongue is in my cheek, but only because it's trying to pry out the honey-vanilla melon seed stuck between two back molars.
Drying food saves money, preserves the harvest and cuts down on storage space. But it takes time and consumes energy – solar, natural gas or electric. To pull enough water out of sliced tomatoes to be shelf stable, they must be dried for one to three days in the sun, eight to 12 hours in a dehydrator or 18 hours in an oven.
According to a library of books on the subject and Kathy Shaw – who operates Valley View Farm in Auburn, is a Master Preserver by way of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension program and dehydrates the full gambit of Maine produce for personal use and for sale – drying fruits and vegetables in the sun is the greenest way to go.
The trade-offs to that long-practiced method are pests and toxic dusts settling on your food while it's outside drying. Food safety parameters dictate you pasteurize sun-dried fruits and vegetables (either in a 175 degree F oven for 15 minutes or in the freezer for 48 hours) to kill off any insect eggs that may have been laid among your dried goods.
Oven-drying requires a low temperature setting – between 125 and 145 degrees F, depending on the produce. Temperatures higher than that cause "case hardening," a term for premature hardening of the exterior that prevents the interior from drying properly.
For those reasons, Shaw uses a commercial dehydrator to handle the volume she dries. To experiment, I borrowed a friend's Maxi-Matic Elite five-tray model that pulls 120 volts/250 watts, costs around $50 and was designed for home use.
Dried green tomatoes appealed to me because of the play on words; also, I thought I could use them to add acidic flavor to wintery soups and stews. What I learned is that all things, even if they are of the same variety and cut in the same fashion, will dry differently.
This dehydrating experiment was not the set-and-forget prospect I'd anticipated. It involved a series of "dryness checks" conducted over an 18-hour period to ensure all of the slices were dry but not rock hard. To test for dryness, cool one slice of what's being dried to room temperature. Consult a book, the Internet or the dehydrator's operating instructions for how the specific fruit or vegetable should look and feel; the descriptors range from springy to leathery to brittle. If it fails the test, it goes back into the dehydrator. A serious dehydration devotee keeps copious notes about these things over time.
I wanted something more immediate from the kale, leeks, zucchini, peppers and tomatoes I had sitting on the counter. I ran with a vegetable bouillon of sorts (see recipe, page S2) because I could assemble julienned slices of vegetables I want to taste but not necessarily see in my winter soups on a different trays in the dehydrator until they passed the brittle dryness test, grind them to a powder in my coffee maker and combine them into a mix that will flavor my meals throughout the winter.
The bouillon is boundless. But I simply don't do one-trick gadgets in the kitchen. No worries. Marrone writes that with a bit of shelf adjustment, the dehydrator can be used to help dough rise, make yogurt, re-crisp crackers and cookies, decrystallize honey, dry seeds and create croutons. I am sold on this dehydration thing.

The last session of term was a collation of members' work based on song titles. The minimal rules set by Tim were: images can be newly taken or from personal archives; the title can be any type of song – pop, rock, choral, sacred; and submissions should include the song title and artist. Sixteen people contributed 43 pictures.
The 34 composers and artists represented ranged from Bach to the Dixie Chicks and Dvorak to Lita Rosa. Songs spanned 'Autumn Leaves' to 'Flash Gordon', 'Psalm 66' to 'Waterloo Sunset' and 'Tangled Up in Blue' to 'Calling Occupants (of Interplanetary Craft)'. Three titles and four musicians were duplicated. Photographic styles embraced abstracts, nature, still life, landscape and street photography. Locations spread from London to the Yellowstone NP, Cambridge to Indonesia and Shoreditch to Great Gransden.
Members tackled the project in broadly two ways. Most people opted for iterating between a photograph they had and a song title that struck a chord: a photograph prompted a song or a song reminded them of a photograph or both. This could have led to some strained connections, but in most cases it was logical and easy to guess the song/title from the picture, other than with the more obscure tunes. A few people chose the more difficult route of taking a specific photograph, usually a still life, to illustrate a chosen title. There was little use of Photoshop techniques. If there was a prize for tongue in cheek inventiveness it would have gone to Nick Kerry for his Reinhardtian black rectangle illustrating The Beatles' 'Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night'.
Photos: 1. 'Ticket to Ride', The Beatles, 1965 (Bloomsbury Street, London 2011); 2. 'Fields of Gold', Sting, 1993 (Quy Fen, 2018); 3. 'Stairway to Heaven', Led Zeppelin, 1971 (Tate Britain, 2019)

It's a fairly common story in the realm of intellectual property: A new business starts up, only to discover another business already has the same name. The already established business goes after the new one, which ends up changing its name. Usually, the business protecting its name is doing so because it stands to lose name recognition or profits from the new business. But that's not always the case.

Small businesses, nonprofits opt to merge for survival
When most people think of business mergers, it's behemoth corporations that come to mind. Banks and technology companies have made a habit of absorbing each other with the promise of even huger profits than they were making before. But what about small businesses and nonprofits? These companies merge, too, but with an entirely different goal: their continued survival.
Football underdog "Rudy" Ruettiger settles lawsuit with SEC
His can-do spirit inspired a legion of Notre Dame fans and a Hollywood movie, but Daniel Ruettiger, also known as "Rudy," has since disappointed stockholders and inspired the Securities and Exchange Commission to file a federal lawsuit against him for a "pump and dump" stock scheme. The commercial litigation resulted in a nearly $400,000 settlement.

Breach of contract suit filed over licensing of TV star's name
An agreement to use "Jersey Shore" TV star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's name on a wide variety of merchandise has resulted in a breach of contract lawsuit. The entertainment figure is seeking to end her licensing arrangement with SRG Ventures. The signing of the deal was widely publicized and it was anticipated that her name would be used on denim clothing, personal lingerie and items for home use.

Both the Got Art display along Central Avenue and the Light Up Middletown drive-through fantasy light display in Smith Park are busy places.
Visitors to either of the events seem to be also visiting the other while in the downtown area.
During the week of 11/23, more than 50,000 vehicles traveled the Got Art display area.
During the first week of Light Up Middletown, beginning November 25, volunteers counted 2,609 vehicles with 8,810 people touring the Light Up display. The survey taken at the Light Up Middletown gate shows that 77% of visitors are from Butler County, 13% from Warren, 5% from Montgomery, 2% from Preble and the remaining 3% evenly split between other Ohio counties and other states.
While no survey is taken at the Got Art display, observers report many vehicles suddenly pulling off to the side of the street to get a better look at the art in the shop windows and several artists have reported sale of their displayed items. For specific artist information, pick up a Got Art brochure at area businesses or at the Light Up Middletown gate booth.
Both displays continue through New Year's Eve, every day, regardless of the weather, including holidays. Light Up is open 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., Got Art is on display 24/7.
For information about either of the displays, contact the Middletown Convention and Visitors Bureau, 513-422-3030 or www.visitMiddletown.org. ####

I think it would make sense to disable rain sensor notifications when the device is in standby mode. I have a rain/freeze sensor and I got rain sensor activated/deactivated messages all night when the temp dropped. I plan on going in and disabling the rain sensor, but it seems it would be easier to just have these notifications stop when the device is in standby.
I agree 100%. IMHO, when you are in standby mode you shouldn't get any alerts for anything.
Yes, this makes sense, and very easy to implement. Will have this code out in a few days
But at least it tells you that your stuff is still working and that rachio is still in business with their intergalactic cloud condensing data into moisture droplets and raining the information on your phone.
Ooooooohhhhhhh mic drop, I'm out, and don't forget to tip your wait staff.
I keep pitching a Rachio Blimp for on-demand rainfall (like an Uber for rain), but the finance team hasn't found a way to make it profitable yet…
This code went out today, should not see any more notifications for rain sensor if in standby mode.
I'm still getting them as of today…do I need to cycle power or standby mode?
@Brg468, thanks for the note. I was able to recreate what you're experiencing. We'll looking into this and correct.
Ah, I found it. Will get these corrections out today.
Working now. Thanks guys!

Grieder: Give Lina Hidalgo a chance to lead Harris County
Harris County went blue in the 2018 midterm elections, as did Fort Bend County.
That has implications for the entire state, given the number of registered voters who live in those two counties, and the fact that Democrats swept the countywide races.
There were 15.8 million registered voters in Texas in 2018 — and 2.4 million of them live in Harris County, which saw a surge in turnout last year compared to the previous midterm election cycle. But just 51.7 percent of Harris County voters cast ballots in the top-of-the-ticket Senate race, compared to 54.5 percent who did so in the state's second-most populous county, Dallas.
The difference might have something to do with the fact that Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart, who administered the election, set a notably restrictive schedule for early voting. Educators who work in Houston public schools, for example, would have been hard-pressed to cast a ballot on the first day of early voting. Lines were long all over the state, and in Harris County, the polls opened at 8 a.m. and closed at 4:30 p.m.
Read more: Lina Hidalgo sworn in as Harris County judge
Next time around, though, Harris County voters will probably be able to stop by the polls on their way home from work. Stanart, a Republican, was unseated by Democrat Diane Trautman. And a modest uptick in Harris County's turnout rate could prove decisive in a closely contested statewide race; this is, after all, Texas's most populous county.
But the Democratic sweep of the countywide races in Harris and Fort Bend has more immediate implications for those of us who live in either. And it's still too early to be sure what those implications are. On Tuesday, Democrats Lina Hidalgo and KP George were sworn in as Harris County judge and Fort Bend County judge, respectively. Neither was well-known prior to being elected. And the offices are poorly understood.
Hidalgo is in a particularly challenging position. Harris County is the largest county in the state. It's also prone to disasters, which means that voters understand the office she holds is an important one. And many observers are skeptical of whether Hidalgo, 27, is up to the job. She defeated Republican Ed Emmett, a longtime incumbent, in a victory that was widely considered an upset and which, for many Harris County voters, felt like a sucker punch.
Read more: Hidalgo, surprise victor in Harris County judge race, prepares to lead
As I've written before, however, that's a bit unfair to Hidalgo. She was a beneficiary of the blue wave in Harris County, but it didn't carry her all the way into office. The number of votes cast for Emmett exceeded the number of straight-ticket votes cast for Democrats.
And Hidalgo ran a serious campaign for the votes she needed to win the office. Her backers included Julian Castro, the former mayor of San Antonio, who joined her on the campaign trail the weekend before the election, to help get out the vote.
With that said, I can understand why Harris County voters would feel some anxiety about Emmett's absence. He was a reassuring presence during Harvey, which was an oddly discombobulating storm. The same could not be said of Gov. Greg Abbott or President Donald Trump.
Concerns about how Hidalgo will compare to Emmett can't be easily allayed, because she really is a bit of an unknown quantity. In addition to her youth, and her correspondingly limited work experience, she was a first-time candidate for public office. George, by contrast, was an incumbent member of the Fort Bend ISD school board.
And although George and Hidalgo now hold the same office, in adjacent counties, his is actually the easier job. Fort Bend County is smaller than Harris County, and less disaster-prone. Also, its leaders are less likely to be targeted by statewide Republican leaders like Abbott as part of the Texas GOP's war on local control. George is a Democrat, and the chief executive of a major county that went blue. But Fort Bend County isn't exactly a leftist enclave. Its county seat is Richmond, for Pete's sake.
So as Hidalgo begins her service as chief executive of Texas's largest county, we should wish her well. I'd encourage Harris County voters to give her a chance — and to consider an insight that Castro offered when we met up over the holidays in San Antonio: Hidalgo is an unknown quantity, at this point. But the office she holds is, too.
Grieder: Lina Hidalgo earned the right to serve as Harris County judge
The Harris County judge isn't a judge, in the traditional sense of the word, and its responsibilities depend on the size of the county and, to some extent, the priorities of the officeholder.
Like all county judges in Texas, Hidalgo will preside over the commissioner's court and lead the county's response to emergencies. She also has responsibilities related to administering elections, for example, and promoting mental health.
And Hidalgo has the latitude, as Emmett did, to focus on the issues she considers most critical for the county. She might prioritize different issues than he did, but she wouldn't necessarily be wrong to do so.
Frankly, Harris County has a lot of issues. If its new judge shares her predecessor's commitment to the county's well-being, she'll be a reassuring presence, too.

Keely Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan's wife, is suing R & D Kitchen in Santa Monica, California, claiming their food made her sick.
Keely said after eating at the restaurant in October 2009, she left feeling "sore, ill and injured" and that the illness caused permanent injury to her health and daily activity.
It has not yet been confirmed what meal Keely ate at R & D Kitchen before becoming ill, or what type of health issues she has suffered since.

All about buying mail-order brides

When a woman is not expected to realize herself in any way outside the family, it inevitably leads to her getting treated without the respect that she deserves. This attitude persisted for centuries, but today – when they have access to Western mass culture, they see that Western gentlemen have much more respect and attention for women than Asian girls are used to, and they understand they deserve the exact same! Probably the most logical way with regard to them to accomplish this will be to become Asian email order brides. Even although China, for example, will be known to have a lot more men than women, this looks like Asian communities have a drastic deficit of worthy gentlemen.

When care providers are able to proactively address patient needs, patients enjoy better health. And when patients do not need to return to the hospital, lots of costs are avoided. That is good news for the hospital and the patient.
Durham, NC (PRWEB) May 31, 2015
UNC Health Care and Forecast Health announce today the successful completion of the first phase of a collaboration designed to help patients receive better care. The collaboration has produced an analytical model that helps clinicians predict when patients are at high risk of readmission to a hospital so that care teams can proactively offer support to individual patients based on personal risks and needs.
"This is a great story of the power of collaboration," said Jason Burke, Senior Advisor at the UNC Health Care and School of Medicine Center for Innovation. "By joining forces, we were able to assemble a very talented group of industry experts who worked through over 40 different advanced analytical models and literally hundreds of potential factors to develop a new technique for avoiding hospital readmissions. The new technique outperforms every other model we've tested."
The Forecast Health team combined historical clinical and utilization data with data from the current hospital admission for over 66,000 patients. That data was analyzed with predictive analytics software to identify factors that influence a patient's health risks or overall health outcomes.
"Our results offer both clinical and financial benefits for patients," explains Michael Cousins, PhD, President and Chief Analytics Officer at Forecast Health. "When care providers are able to proactively address patient needs, patients enjoy better health. And when patients do not need to return to the hospital, lots of costs are avoided. That is good news for the hospital and the patient."
Under the terms of the collaboration, Forecast Health will further develop and commercialize the predictive analytics so that patients at other hospitals can benefit from the insights produced by the collaboration.

Just getting all the other stuff off my chest yesterday was awesome, thanks guise.
I went and got some fixer upper color for my hair this morning and I'm much happier. On the way to CVS (hell yes, cheap box dye) I drove past a field with some horses and my 4yo said he wants a horse cub for a pet.
I tried to get a picture of the awfulness of the color from yesterday, but with my bathroom lighting, this is about the best I could do. I'm not sure if it really captures how bad the color was.
I'm sorry that is so huge and sideways! Thanks, Kinja! (ETA: Okay, just sideways when I'm composing, I guess.) The color on the tab looks darker than in this picture and the color in my hair was slightly more orange. Not pretty. Definitely not what I was expecting.
I just took this picture of the new color. Much better.
I think some of the purpleish tint is still showing through, I like that better than flat brown, so I'm pretty happy now!
I know you're all relieved to hear everything turned out okay!

(Regarding Backup Now EZ 126.96.36.199) How long should I keep the backup of files stored on my external hard drive? Some of these date back to July 2012, and occupy 92.5 GB of valuable space.
If you perform a recursive backup, then it's OK to delete old ones because as soon as you make a new backup with the same content plus the updated one, then it's safe to delete the old backup. Nowadays, many backup solutions offer you the possibility to browse the backup file and you can take advantage of this feature to extract the necessary content from the old backup to transfer it to a new one and then delete it. It's only up to you whether you want or not to keep it.
Always delete the old backups that have been updated & are no longer in use.
However, I would suggest to keep the last version of the programme, as in case if the latest one is not proper in functions you can switch to the old one without downloading it again.

In 2008 the FDA's mesh warning said complications were "rare". The agency in 2011 upgraded its warning after receiving 2,874 adverse event reports - 1,503 were associated with POP repairs, and 1,371 were associated with SUI repairs. As of January 2016 transvaginal mesh to repair POP was reclassified from class II (moderate-risk) to class III (high-risk). The FDA has given manufacturers of surgical mesh, including American Medical Systems, 30 months to demonstrate their products are safe and effective for POP by way of a Premarket Approval application.
Darlene (not her real name pending her AMS settlement) had an AMS mesh sling implanted for SUI after the 2011 warning. She is on a waiting list for transvaginal mesh removal. "I am only 49 years old but I'm like a 90-year-old incontinent woman," she says. "Sex has become incredibly painful and I don't even know if I will ever enjoy relations with my partner after I get the mesh removed. I have learned online from other women that mesh erosion damage is irreparable. I consider myself lucky, however, that I am not in as poor shape as others." By others, Darlene is referring to women who were told their SUI problems would be a thing of the past with a transvaginal sling implant but they would rather live with incontinence than the mesh.
Three years ago Linda had an AMS sling implanted for urinary incontinence. "Right away I had bladder problems along with spasms and severe pain," she said. And her SUI has worsened. Mary also had an AMS mesh product implanted, with a similar outcome. Within weeks, Mary was looking for a surgeon to remove it. "My doctor has done whatever he can to avoid this issue, to the point that he has told me it is 'all in my head,' and 'there is nothing wrong' and 'I should give it some time,' " Mary said. "He is so wrong… What a mess this mesh turned out to be."
Results have been far from satisfactory for Margot, Darlene, Mary and countless other transvaginal mesh victims. It is unclear why the FDA has added warnings to treat POP and not SUI. Transvaginal mesh slings for SUI and POP are made with the same polypropylene material and they are implanted in the pelvic areas. (LawyersandSettlements hopes to have answers soon.)

Finally I am able to reproduce it - snmpd receives information about incoming ICMPv6 router advertisements from kernel (via netlink) and it sometimes leaks memory during its processing. Therefore, you just need to find a machine on network segment, which is handled by IPv6 router - our lab network seems to be fine. Check, that the machine under test periodically (~each minute) receives ICMPv6 router advertisement (tshark ip6) and let snmpd running for few minutes to process several such messages. The leak appears in valgrind output then.
I'm seeing a leak as well in the udpEndpointTable (.126.96.36.199.220.127.116.11) , walking it consistently grows the number of file descriptors. I found a patch at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2822355&group_id=12694&atid=112694

Building Social Cohesion Between Rohingya Refugees and Host Communities in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh through Engagement, Dialogue & Training
CSI is contributing to improved social cohesion & cultural exchange between host communities and refugee communities in Cox's Bazar District
What problem does the idea help to solve and how does your solution work? (2,000 characters maximum)An estimated 1 million Rohingya refugees currently reside in the refugee camps of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, with over 700,000 having arrived since what has been described by the UN as an attempt at ethnic cleansing in Myanmar in August 2017. While the hospitality and generosity of the Bangladesh government and its people are unparalleled, the protracted presence of this large influx of people has significantly impacted the daily life of the host community. In an already poor region, tensions between the host and refugee community worsen due to added strain on the host community's natural resources, fears of increased crime and encroachment on limited economic resources. Meanwhile, refugees feel discrimination and blame for the abounding problems. Lack of meaningful contact amplifies these issues and prevents a joint and meaningful approach to overcoming them. Fostering an atmosphere for strengthened social cohesion between the Cox's Bazar host and refugee community is essential. This project aims to alleviate social tensions between host and refugee communities and promote peaceful coexistence through social cohesion trainings, intercommunal dialogue and engagement. CSI will assemble 2 advisory committees, one from the refugee community and one from the host community, each with 6-8 elder leaders. The two committees will be separately trained using tested social cohesion curriculum, and later, they will unite for facilitative dialogue and engagement, with the aim of fostering understanding and tolerance. Each committee will then identify 20 youth from their respective communities (40 total) to participate in separate social cohesion trainings, and later, the youth will unite for their own facilitative dialogue and engagement. Finally, both youth groups and advisory committees will unite for an intergenerational dialogue on the collective way forward. This event will be followed in a final phase by intercommunal social activities attended by host and refugee youth.
Geography of focus (500 characters)The surrounding communities of Ukhia Upzilla and Teknaf Upazilla, Cox's Bazar District, Bangladesh and the Kutupalong refugee camp. The targeted region is the location of the host communities most directly impacted by the refugee influx, as well as the refugee camps where the Rohingya refugees reside.
Building Bridges: What bridge does your idea build between people on the move and neighbors towards a shared future of stability and promise? (500 characters)The project builds a bridge between the host community in Cox's Bazar district, Bangladesh, and the Rohingya refugee community through accessing first separate, then joint capacity building and recreational opportunities. It addresses the barriers that inhibit positive engagement between the two communities due to fear, stereotypes and lack of contact, by increasing understanding of the principles and benefits of social cohesion and creating spaces for intercommunal dialogue and engagement.
What human need is your idea solving for? (1,000 characters)This project fulfils the need for tolerance and more peaceful engagement between two communities inhabiting the same region. The stress of displacement and disrupted environmental norms takes its toll on both refugee and host communities. Host communities often grapple with the significant adjustment of absorbing a population influx that may surpass even their own while, themselves impoverished, may perceive the goods or services being offered to refugees as insensitive to their own plight. These tensions can cause conflict, fear and ill-adjustment to a new and evolving environment. Further, refugee communities, conscious of the power imbalance between them and the host community, may fear retributions, attacks or simply avoid engagement with those in the host community, due to their vulnerable status. This project fulfils a much-needed space for alleviating social tensions between the host and refugee community by building bridges to mutual understanding and more peaceful coexistence.
What will be different within the community of focus as a result of implementing your idea? (1,000 characters)The project will contribute to greater tolerance and improved relations between the Cox's Bazar host community and the Rohingya refugee community by building knowledge and practical application of social cohesion themes and contributing to mutual understanding, helping reduce misperceptions and stereotypes of the 'other' by creating a safe space for facilitated dialogue and interaction. It is hoped that this will create a ripple effect within the respective communities, ushered in by the leadership of the trained diverse groups of elders and youth, men and women within each community. By giving both youth and elders a platform for leadership in contributing toward peaceful intercommunal dialogue and engagement, CSI is empowering communities to take the lead in initiating continued intercommunal interaction at all levels. Project impact will be measured by giving pre- and post-training surveys, and through focus group discussions on perceptions before and after the project.
What is the inspiration behind your idea? (1,000 characters)According to the 2019 Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis Joint Response Plan, social cohesion should be a priority for humanitarian programming. The response to the crisis is slowly losing funding overall, and the Bangladesh government and non-governmental organizations have expressed a strong desire to localize the response. A gradual phase-out of most international workers and international non-governmental organizations will become a reality in the coming years. It is in this context of changing dynamics that CSI recognizes the importance of fostering positive intercommunal relations between the host and refugee communities. Negative perceptions of 'the other' in any context where there are barriers to interaction tend to become normalized or even strengthened. Mere exposure to the other in peaceful settings that include interactions that foster a level of interdependence has proven in many contexts to contribute to improvements of perceptions of and relations between divided groups.
Describe the dynamics of the community in which the idea is to be implemented. (1,000 characters)With a host population totalling an estimated 0.47 million, the newly arrived refugees, at nearly double their number, present a significant social, political and economic impact on the local way of life. The Rohingya community themselves are caught between wanting to return to a country of origin that still cannot protect them, and residing in Bangladesh where they are not allowed a full education or employment. Tensions between Rohingya refugees and the host community fester and a number of barriers persist including language and negative perceptions of 'the other'. A recent social cohesion research study conducted by Oxfam found that tensions are worsening, with refugees often feeling left powerless in relation to the host community and being scapegoated for regional ills including drug trade. Meanwhile host communities grow increasingly concerned about the safety of their changing environment, perceived unequal access to resources and the negative impact on their livelihoods.
How does your idea leverage and empower community strengths and assets to help create an environment for success? (1,000 characters)CSI recognizes that the involvement of organic community leadership is important in projects aiming to transform communal dynamics. By involving and leveraging the leadership of community elders, and working within existing communal and cultural dynamics, CSI believes we will engender a stronger likelihood of community buy-in and success. Recognizing age and gender norms in both communities, the approach also bridges generational gaps by ensuring the participation of elders, youth, men and women. Elder advisory committees will play a key role in the success of this project, as they will be equipped with the knowledge to better understand and champion the value of social cohesion and peaceful coexistence, while also playing a key role in the project's coordination as community ambassadors for identifying youth participants. CSI aims to develop community change agents through all of those trained in the scope of this project.
What other partners or stakeholders will work alongside you in implementing the idea, if any? (1,000 characters)BASTOB – Initiative for People's Self-Development is a registered non-profit, non-political, voluntary development organization founded by a group of committed social activists on 4th July, 1997 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. BASTOB is with working with 50,000 disadvantaged families in 9 districts of Bangladesh with its 45 branch offices and 350 staff. CSI has been formally partnered with BASTOB through what is known as FD7 registration since early 2018. CSI plans to work closely with BASTOB at host community level to identify appropriate project participants as well as benefit from their expertise on culturally appropriate approaches. CSI will also rely upon the leadership within our refugee volunteer network, with whom we have worked since the very beginning of our engagement in the Rohingya refugee response, for identifying refugee community participants. Artolution is an organization conducting arts training and trauma therapy, which may be engaged in facilitating arts activities.

Tell us more about your group or organization [or lived experience as a displaced person?] (1000 characters)Center for Social Integrity is a registered Myanmar non-profit founded in 2016 with a focus on long term peacebuilding as well as immediate protection and aid for communities affected by conflict. CSI's mission is to foster a society in which diverse peoples work collectively towards peaceful coexistence and resilience. CSI is uniquely positioned as having unparalleled access to Northern Rakhine State, Myanmar, as well as having been a strong, grassroots presence in the Cox's Bazar humanitarian response. In Myanmar, CSI implements youth social cohesion training programs as well as a wide-scale, multi-year community-based reconciliation initiative for diverse, conflict affected Northern Rakhine communities. CSI understands that efforts to dispel misunderstandings and facilitate reconciliation between communities require a multipronged approach. With a tested social cohesion curriculum in hand, CSI will leverage this experience in the implementation of the project described herein.
