Feature request #1421
WFS Extension doesn't request displayed extent using bbox
|Category:||Web Services clients/WMS|
|Pull Request or Patch supplied:||Resolution:||fixed|
|Easy fix?:||No||Copied to github as #:||11481|
Using the WFS-Extension to request vectordata from a WFS-Service doesn't request only the data of the displayed extend using bbox in requeststring. It request the whole layer! This could be pretty (too) much.
By the way "WFS" is missing in Component-list in this trac system.
#1 Updated by Marco Hugentobler about 15 years ago
The WFS provider fetches the whole layer the first time and stores all in memory. Because it assumes that the user soon will do some panning and zooming and that will be a lot faster if everything is in memory. So the implemented solution requires more memory but is much faster for many zoom and pan actions.
And if a WFS layer is the first one, QGIS would need to fetch the whole layer anyway.
However, it could be a feature enhancement to give the user the possibility to only request the data in the current view extent (those features then would stay the same even if the user pans or zooms out afterwards). I'm therefore changing this ticket into enhancement (and category 'data provider')
#3 Updated by Marco Lechner about 15 years ago
wouldn't it be better to preload some larger bbox than the viewed extend (easy to implement). I try to use a WFS serving a huge amount of data for whole europe (OpenStreetMap-WFS) - but I only need the features in a small part (surrounding of Freiburg, Germany) wich is already a lot of data.
Loading the whole layer takes about five minutes (and I used a relatively small one for testing)

Tollywood director K Raghavendra Rao was among the many motorists who were fined for travelling in tinted-glass vehicles on Monday.
The daughter of a senior Telugu Desam Party leader and the son of a former minister and TRS leader were also fined.
During a special drive in the city on black film glasses on vehicles, the traffic police registered more than 500 cases at various places. In Jubilee Hills, Raghavendra Rao’s car was stopped and he was imposed a penalty of `100. “We registered at least 150 cases in Jubilee Hills,” said Jubilee Hills traffic inspector V Surya Chander Rao. The police also distributed pamphlets educating the drivers on the ban of tinted glasses.

"There was not an inch of room for Lottie and Kezia in the buggy. When Pat swung them on top of the luggage they wobbled; the grandmother‘s lap was full and Linda Burnell could not possibly have held a lump of a child on hers for any distance." The seemingly perfect Burnell family is moving from one house to another, and on the surface, everything appears idyllic. But as the story develops, the tension grows, threating to explode and expose their true nature. `Prelude‘ (1922) is evidence of Katherine Mansfield‘s short fiction genius, and it was the first short story that Virginia Wolf commissioned for her publishing house.
Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was short story writer and poet from New Zealand, who settled in England at the age of 19. Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence were among her literary friends and admirers. She died of tuberculosis at the age of 34.

Let your clothes take care of you
What if your clothes could let you know when to visit the doctor? Scientists in Europe are currently devising smart fabrics that can provide an assessment of the wearers state of health. Embedded within the fabric are numerous sensors constantly checking your vital signs. Should any danger signs be detected, the garment will contact your doctor and send a text message telling you to take corrective measures.
A cluster of EU research projects (SFIT Group) is supporting this burgeoning field of smart fabrics, interactive textiles and flexible wearable systems. The European project BIOTEX has developed miniaturised biosensors in a textile patch that can analyse body fluids, even a tiny drop of sweat, and provide a much better assessment of someone's wellbeing. The project aims to be of particular use to people working in extreme conditions as well as athletes and people suffering from diabetes.
The BIOTEX project comprises eight partners from four countries and is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) under the EU's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). It includes two research institutes in the field of micro- and nanotechnology, two small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) active in clothing research and development and production, two universities with leadership in wearable bioengineering, and two companies with expertise in the engineering and manufacturing of textiles for demanding markets.
Jean Luprano, a researcher at the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), coordinates the BIOTEX project. 'One of the most obvious applications for smart fabrics is in the medical field,' he says. 'There has been a good deal of progress with physiological measurements, body temperature or electro-cardiograms. But no-one has yet developed biochemical sensing techniques that can take measurements from fluids like sweat and blood. We are developing miniature sensors that can be integrated into a textile patch. The patch is a sensing and processing unit, adaptable to target different body fluids and biochemical species.'
One of the main achievements of the project has been the development of a suite of prototype ionic biosensors, capable of measuring sodium, potassium and chloride in sweat samples. An immunosensor, which could be integrated into wound dressings or bandages, has been created to detect the presence of specific proteins in fluid samples.
Smart fabrics to the rescue
In the first BIOTEX trials, the smart patches will be worn in clothes by people with obesity and diabetes, as well as athletes. Once the technology has been validated, the plan is to take on industrial backers to commercialise it. Meanwhile, a large EU-funded project within the same SFIT group, called PROETEX, is integrating the technology with other micro- and nanosystems for specific applications. These include use by fire fighting and rescue teams.
Although BIOTEX has solved several of the technical aspects of continuous biochemical monitoring, Luprano calls for more research into the application of this technology. 'It's new and healthcare providers are not used to it. We are not used to the information that continuous, remote monitoring can provide so different to the one-off laboratory tests that are usually taken. BIOTEX makes this remote monitoring possible, but more research into the links between these indicators and disease conditions and states will make it realistic. Nevertheless, in the long-term we expect continuous monitoring, made possible with smart textiles, to make a major improvement to the way we approach the treatment of metabolic disorders and leisure.'

It’s official. Summer is almost over, the kids and grandkids are going back to school, and for those over 55, now is the perfect time to make new friends and try something new.
Fire up your singing voices, because registration is now open for the Encore Chorale of New York City’s fall season, a 15-week program beginning September 7 with weekly rehearsals and ending with a holiday concert that’s free and open to the public!
No auditions are necessary and rehearsals meet at Broadway Presbyterian Church at 601 W. 114th Street on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30pm to 3:00pm under the auspices of professional conductor Bernadette Hoke.
Registration is open here, and the $190 tuition also includes sheet music and a rehearsal CD in the singer’s voice part. A two-week free trial is available for those who want to check out the choral group first. They are known for singing a fun and eclectic mix of music in many styles and from many different eras.
After retiring from a 40+ year career in corporate finance, 70-year-old Mark Aaron was seeking opportunities to pursue some long-standing interests in the arts. “I have discovered a joy and passion for singing upon joining the Encore Chorale of New York City last year,” said Aaron. “Encore offers proof that we can master artistic pursuits and become creative as we age.”
Encore Chorale of New York City is part of a larger group, Encore Creativity for Older Adults, that started 15 years ago in Maryland with a mission to provide an excellent and accessible artistic environment for older adults, regardless of experience or ability. Encore is the nation’s largest choral organization for adults over 55 and prides themselves on providing a caring, nurturing community environment where adults can learn proper vocal and breathing techniques while gaining confidence in their voice.

When I say I quit sugar by eating dessert, I totally mean it. I love dessert in all shapes and forms, and was totally prepared to give up some of my faves – but cookie dough? That was non-negotiable. Since I had already come up with these keto friendly chocolate chip cookies, this cookie dough was a no-brainer.
This post contains affiliate links*
WHY SUGAR COOKIE?
Here’s the thing. You could totally add sugar-free chocolate chips to this cookie dough recipe if you want to. But, I always loved the way the dough tasted without the chocolate chips when making regular ol’ cookies in my former life.
And, when I created this recipe without adding the chocolate chips, it tasted so much like a sugar cookie, I didn’t want to mess it up with extras.
While most of us survived licking the spoon as kids, it’s not safe to eat cookie dough with raw eggs in it. So, this cookie dough recipe is egg free and totally safe to eat.
I also wanted to make sure it fit into our ketogenic way of eating, so there are no grains and absolutely zero sugar. My sugar replacement of choice is Swerve (I’ve tried others in baking, and Swerve brand is straight up Erythritol, without any extras).
HOT TIP: I get all of my keto baking goodies at Thrive Market because almost everything they sell is $2-$3 cheaper than if you purchased it at your local grocery store. HUGE savings (get 25% off your first order with this link!). I place a bulk order every month.
THE PERFECT FAT BOMB
I had no clue what a fat bomb was until I started eating Keto – then I saw fat bomb recipes EVERYWHERE. If you don’t know, fat bombs are small “bites” (or a few bites), sweet or savory, that offer a quick “shot” of fat, with fewer grams of protein and carbs. When you’re eating a high-fat diet, they come in super-duper handy – especially on days when you have zero protein left, but still have to get more fat in your system.
These cookie dough fat bombs are 148 calories, 12 grams of fat, 4 grams of protein and 3.5 grams net carb. I usually eat 2 at a time if I have remaining carbs left for the day (which I almost always do), and though they be tiny, they are mighty – SUPER filling.
SCOOPABLE SERVINGS ARE BEST FROM THE FRIDGE
I like to use a cookie scoop to create my servings, which results in these adorable little “scoops” of cookie dough (I just purchased this one for $5 bucks, because my old one died from overuse!). After I scoop out my…scoops, I stick lay them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stick them in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
Afterward, I store them in an airtight container (I like these ones) in the fridge and take them out individually when I want to eat one. This is a great way to keep the dough firm and “biteable”.
I like to eat it slowly with a spoon (kinda feels like you’re eating ice cream!).
SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH FAT BOMB RECIPE
Like all my recipes, this cookie dough is super easy to make. The recipe is below!

In a recent post for Lower Manhattan based journal Luhud, New York-Presbyterian Hospital writers discuss the impact that anxiety has on teenagers and young adults.
While many ideas of teenage mental health center on the cultural staples of the rebel or outsider, teens can be emotionally volatile; not as stoic as we may believe. In many modern family structures, the first wave of independent decision-making can be anxiety inducing for a number of teenagers and young adults. And it makes sense. Going off to college, finding a first home or apartment, and hunting for the first job are all stressful periods of one’s life.
NY Presbyterian’s John Walkup, Director Director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, identifies anxiety disorders as the dominant class of mental health disorders amongst teens. While we can’t say exactly why they take hold, we do know that they most typically start in childhood. These disorders take many different forms. For example, a child may experience separation anxiety when going off to school for the first time, or social anxiety when interacting with their new classmates. Although these children are curious enough to explore their new surroundings, as a child is wont to do, they will often do so with a stubborn sense of foreboding. At the end of the day, they’ll venture into the unknown, but something will feel off.
The recommended solution is for parents to seek treatment as soon as this behavior becomes apparent. Despite the high number of children who suffer from anxiety issues, only around a third of them receive treatment. Families can often exacerbate the issue, albeit unknowingly, by facilitating this behavior. Parents often want their kids to feel as comfortable as possible, so if being in novel situations makes a child visibly uncomfortable, parents may dissuade them from these interactions instead of receiving help. This has far reaching effects into the future, as this kind of anxiety can manifest itself as a roadblock for completing normal, healthy adult activities.

Factory Reset Google WiFi
How to Factory Reset Google WiFi? If you have trouble with your Google WiFi mesh system and it seems like a hardware issue, then you may want to factory reset it.This will reset any charges that were inside the internal components, thereby resolving the issue.
This process can be done by simply unplugging the Google WiFi routers and points from power for a minute, then plugging them back in. This is a simple procedure that can help you solve a lot of network issues.
Factory reset a single Google WiFi point
If you have a single Google WiFi point in your home, you can factory reset it for good measure. To do so, unplug it from the power outlet for a minute or two and then plug it back in. It will be in the dark for a while, but the light should eventually flash blue to let you know it’s on. This process is called a power cycle, and it helps reset the charges inside the Google WiFi’s internal components to ensure you get your money’s worth from your new toy.
This is a good time to also check out the ports on your Google WiFi, as they can get damaged from overexposure to dust and other debris.
Reasons to factory reset your Google WiFi
A factory reset is a great way to clean up settings and make sure that your Google WiFi device is running smoothly. You can perform this on your single Google WiFi point or all of the devices in your mesh network. A factory reset can also be done to get rid of any lingering MAC addresses that your device has.
It can also help to clear out any misbehaving charges inside the internal components of your Google WiFi. This is because when your device is charged up, there are a number of charges that can come up from time to time that may cause the internal components to charge in an unbalanced manner, which could lead to various issues with your internet connection.
To factory reset your Google WiFi, simply disconnect it from the power and let it sit idle for a full minute before plugging it back in. This should completely clear all charges out and ensure that everything is working perfectly. Alternatively, you can perform a hardware reboot to do the same thing without needing to remove it from the power source.
Difference between a factory reset and a reboot
The Google WiFi is a smart piece of hardware that is capable of handling multiple active devices and provides solid Wi-Fi coverage for your home. But as with any electronic device, over time the internal components can degrade or become clogged up by dust or debris. In order to avoid this issue, a factory reset may be your best bet. This process is actually easier than it sounds, and can be done remotely using your Google account.
A hardware reboot, on the other hand, is a more complicated task, but will likely work as well or better for your specific situation. To perform a hardware reboot, you’ll need to connect an ethernet cable from the WiFi router to one of its Ethernet ports to your home network.
When you factory reset your Google WiFi, you will delete all of the network settings from the device. This allows you to set up a new network connection on the device. It also makes the device more responsive to changes on the internet. The Google WiFi also has some smart capabilities that allow it to prioritize traffic so you get better access to the internet. For example, you can use Priority to allow a SmartThings hub to have priority over a tablet so that the SmartThings hub will get faster internet when it needs it.
To factory reset your Google WiFi, simply unplug it from power and let it sit idle for a full minute without any charge. This will reset the charge inside the Google WiFi and its access points, making sure that the internal components are charged properly. This process can be repeated multiple times to completely clear out the charges in the Google WiFi and its access points.
If your Google WiFi network isn’t working, you might want to reset it. This will revert all settings back to their defaults. You can do this in two ways – either by using the button on the bottom of your router or by using the Google Home app.
Factory reset Google WiFi network
If you’re having trouble getting your Google WiFi to work properly, one of the first things to try is a factory reset. You can do this by pressing and holding the “reset” button on your router or device for about 10 seconds. This should restore the network to its default settings and resolve any issues you may be experiencing.
For more advanced users, a full reboot of the device may be in order. If you haven’t done this before, it can be a bit of a pain. However, it’s worth the effort.
In the end, you should be left with a working Google WiFi network that’s ready to rock. To do this, you’ll need to follow the steps outlined in our tutorial.
In the end, you’ll be rewarded with improved internet performance and increased home security. The most important part of the process is identifying the problem and figuring out what to do about it. Fortunately, there are many tools on the market to help you solve your issue. From simple sanitization to more complex data analysis, you can find a solution that fits your unique needs. With a little time and patience, you’ll be back up and running in no time.
Factory reset using button on bottom of router
If you’ve lost your password and can’t get into your router, you may be able to factory reset it using the factory reset button on the bottom of your router. This will reset the router to its default settings and allow you to use the router’s user interface again.
Once you’ve factory reset your router, it will require you to log in using a new username and password. This will prevent anyone from gaining access to your network and potentially disrupting services like Netflix, Hulu or Spotify.
First, you’ll need to find your router’s IP address on a computer or smartphone with an Internet connection. This can be done through a web browser or through an app on your device, depending on the manufacturer.
Then, you’ll need to type the IP address into your browser and press “enter.” You can also type in the IP address directly on the router itself. If you can’t remember your router’s IP address, try to locate the default IP address for your device by typing in the default IP address for that model into Google Search.
Once you know your router’s IP address, you can then follow the directions in your router’s documentation to get back into your router and set your router up. This may involve resetting your router’s IP address, setting up security questions and answers, or updating the firmware.
Lastly, be sure to change the password on your device as well. The default password for a Wi-Fi device is often very simple, but changing it regularly will help ensure that no one can break into your home network.
Fortunately, there are several methods you can use to factory reset your Google WiFi network, including the button on the bottom of your router and the Google Home application. The former is a fast and easy option, while the latter can be done remotely from your computer or mobile phone.
No factory reset button on bottom of router
Most routers come with a small reset button on the bottom of the device. This button can be pressed and held for around 10 seconds and it will allow you to revert all of your settings back to their default values. This should be a quick fix if you’re having trouble with your wifi. However, before you attempt to reset your router, be sure that it’s connected and turned on. This is to ensure that the button you press doesn’t cause any damage to your router.
When you log into your router’s firmware, it will usually ask you to set up a username and password. These may be the router’s default credentials or a new password that you created when setting up your wifi. The best way to create a secure password is to pick something that’s not too easy to remember but complex enough to be difficult for a computer to guess.
Factory reset using the Google Home app
If your Google Home isn’t connecting to your Wi-Fi network, it may be necessary to factory reset the device. This process will erase all of the information that the gadget has been linked to previously and start it up with a fresh connection. In this way, you can easily fix any issues that you may have with the WiFi system.
The first step to performing this reset is to open up the Google Home application on your mobile device. Once you’re in the application, you should see a settings menu. From here, you can choose Disconnect Networks to erase the old Wi-Fi link. Once you’ve done this, you can use the Google Home app to link up to a new Wi-Fi connection. This will ensure that your Google Home will always be connected to the latest Wi-Fi system, which can help you save time and effort.


“At-home” convergence, the most prevalent form of sports and entertainment convergence throughout most of the 1900s, continues to have an enormous impact on consumers’ lives. Centered on home-based activities, this form of convergence has become widespread, its growth accelerating in large part due to technological innovations that have blurred the line between sports and entertainment.
For much of the twentieth century, sports consumption tended to be a onedimensional experience, largely limited to at-venue experiences or the reading of a newspaper’s account of a prior day’s game. However, steady innovation in at-home entertainment has nearly eliminated the gap between the consumption of sports and the consumption of entertainment to the point where the focal point of almost every American home is its “entertainment center.”
Not only are sports available at all hours of the day, it is not uncommon for a sports fan to simultaneously access sports using multiple platforms. A Chicago Cubs fan can now watch his team play live on cable television while concurrently checking his fantasy baseball statistics and listening to streaming, web-based sports commentary—all without leaving the comfort of his family room. It is these same consumers, for whom sports are a powerful and unique driver of content, whose utilization preferences substantially contributed to the evolution of convergence.
This “at-home” convergence, particularly as it relates to the evolution of TV content and video gaming, has greatly expanded the ways in which fans effortlessly consume sports programming. It has also ushered in a new era of personal branding, enabling athletes to monetize their brands through the marketing of goods and services.
In examining how at-home convergence has evolved within American households, it is useful to recall a few critical milestones that shaped the current

To commemorate its 25th anniversary this fall, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh is partnering with Daniel Arsham for a specially commissioned work, ‘Eroded Brillo Boxes,’ which will go up for sale at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Day Auction. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the museum’s education and exhibition program, which continues Warhol’s legacy of supporting living artists.
‘Eroded Brill Boxes,’ which is estimated to fetch up to $70,000 USD, pays homage to Warhol’s groundbreaking ‘Brillo Box’ series from the mid-1960s. The pop artist’s replica of a popular soap pad product of the ’50s showcases his interest in consumer products as art objects, an idea he also explored in his ‘Campbell’s Soup Cans’ and ‘3 Coke Bottles’ paintings. Constructing the boxes in a process similar to a factory assembly line, the finished sculptures were almost indistinguishable from their supermarket counterparts.
Unlike Warhol’s bold red and blue boxes, Arsham crafts the Brillo boxes from blue calcite, quartz and hydrostone and completes them with his signature eroded aesthetic, giving the work an almost petrified look. In the style of his ‘Fictional Archeological’ series, he constructs the boxes from a futuristic perspective. Arsham explains that “the objects are made to appear as if they have been uncovered on an archaeological site in the future, crystallized and calcified.” Portraying the Brillo boxes in this way both solidifies Warhol’s legacy as a canonical artist and questions the future of the art object and what we perceive as art today.
‘Eroded Brillo Boxes’ will be auctioned off at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Day Auction on November 15.
In related news, Sotheby’s will also be presenting works from Marc Jacobs’ art collection this Friday.

No room for UKIP in election debates
With no MPs, Nigel Farage can’t expect equal status with Cameron, Clegg and Miliband
The threat of “empty chairing” Britain’s political leaders, made in this newspaper four years ago, helped to persuade them to take part in live televised debates at the last general election. This time no encouragement seems to be needed. Of all the declarations made at the party conferences, surely the least contentious was the Prime Minister’s commitment to take part in TV leaders’ debates in the run-up to the next election. David Cameron followed Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband in signing up some 18 months ahead of polling day.
For this the three men should be congratulated, since for a while it looked as if the UK might follow America in failing to hold TV debates for many years after holding them for the first

The Rwenzori Mountains National Park covers approximately 100,000 hectares in western Uganda and comprises the main part of the Rwenzori mountain chain, which includes Africa's third highest peak - Mount Margherita: 5,109 metres. The region's glaciers, waterfalls and lakes make it one of Africa's most beautiful alpine areas.
Rwenzori Mountains National Park protects the highest parts of the 120-kilometre-long and 65-kilometre-wide Rwenzori mountain range. The national park hosts 70 mammals and 217 bird species, including 19 Albertine Rift endemics, as well as some of the world’s rarest vegetation. Other mammals include the elephant, chimpanzee, Rwenzori otter and leopard. Though wildlife is difficult to spot in the dense forest, primates such as colobus (Angola and black-and-white varieties are both present) and blue monkeys; small antelope such as bushbucks; and unusual reptiles such as the three-horned chameleon can be found in the region.
The town of Kasese, which is 437 kilometres west of Uganda's capital Kampala, is the gateway to the park. The town has hotels and lodges, while the park has camping, a good trail network and huts for hikers. The park has excellent trekking and climbing opportunities with spectacular views and unusual scenery. The major tourist activity here is mountain climbing although you are required to spend an overnight at the base of the mountain or in Kasese town.
For those who prefer something a little less strenuous, neighbouring Bakonzo villages offer nature walks, homestead visits home cultural performances and accommodation, including home-cooked local cuisine.

Plastic worms are probably the most popular fishing lure on the market today. Soft plastic worms are so popular because they work great for bass and most fishermen enjoy fishing for bass. Let’s talk about some of the different styles as well as some tips on how to use them.
You will be able to bargain the best fishing lures that you want from assorted stores which sell these items. While there is a possibility of acquiring good Bass lures you can also make your own best fishing lures as well. These are relatively not difficult to make and they are not that expensive. You will find that you can purchase the supplies to make these best fishing lures from many different stores.
Spinnerbaits are excellent shallow water lures, particularly in the spring when fish are shallow due to the warmer water. Spinner baits are also very good at covering large amounts of water fast as you look for those active feeding bass. So I often like to hit shallow water areas up with a 1-2 punch technique. First fish an area with a quick covering spinnerbait looking for those active lunkers then follow up with a shallow running plug. By using the 1-2 punch you can cover a lot of water, and be sure you covered it effectively before moving on to the next spot.
Flat fish- -Is a type of fishing lure that is considered as one of the most productive lures when catching trout. It comes in different sizes and colors.

Once done, you can now begin fishing by casting the flat fish in an area abundant with trout. Mini stick bait. Mini stick bait resembles a small fish or the trout itself and is a great tool to attract the trout. The correct method to use this trout wholesale lures is to drop it onto the surface and then let it sink slowly underneath. The slow sinking of the stick bait makes for a dying fish and is great way to fool the trout to come running for it.
Crank-baits really are time tested bass catching lures. Large or small, these cranks can catch all of them. Their precision and physical appearance is constantly being updated but even the classic older versions will deliver you plenty of fish. Tournament anglers will often be seen running cranks to locate fish on large flats or over deep water structure.
Spinning reels: Spinning reels are reels that have a spool that is stationary. The line is spun onto the spool as a device called a “bail” rotates around it. Spinning reels can be used for any size of line but more experienced fly fishers will use it for lightweight lures with a weight less than ten pounds. Spinning reels tend to perform a little better than baitcasting reels when you’re casting into the wind. One disadvantage of using a spinning reel is that there is the inevitable twisting of the line which will create tangles and knots. When your line becomes twisted the best thing that you can do is replace the line with a new one. One way that you can prevent some of these tangles from occurring is by using washing up liquid on the line.
That’s the basics of bass fishing lures secrets and how to choose the best bass fishing lure for the job. The point to remember here is there is a time and place for every fishing lure. If you want to maximize your potential to catch big bass then you need to use a lure that was designed for whatever situation you may be fishing in. There are good lures and bad lures, good times to use them and poor time to use them. But having a solid understanding of the usage a lure was designed for an its place will go a long way to help you choose the correct fishing lure the next time you open your tackle box.

Aiming to complete the liquidation of its CDMA assets as soon as possible, China Unicom (NYSE: CHU; 0762.HK; 600050.SH) will lower prices on its stock of CDMA handsets in the near future. A source with knowledge of the situation said that the lower prices would primarily be on "mid-range to low-end CDMA handsets."
The source said that the majority of Unicom Huasheng employees would stay on at Unicom, with a small number going on to China Telecom (NYSE: CHA; 0728.HK). Unicom Huasheng GM Yu Yingtao will likely stay at Unicom.
A spokesperson for China Telecom said that following completion of the acquisition of Unciom's CDMA business, the China Telecom would introduce an all-new CDMA promotion plan.
Editor's Note: Unicom's efforts to liquidate its CDMA handset inventory come on the heels of earlier rumors that China Telecom was not open to taking over Unicom's remaining inventory. For more background on this topic, please see "China Telecom Balks on Unicom Handset Inventory", MD 6/26/08 issue.

Robert Pattinson and a Shy FKA Twigs Enjoy Some Beach Time in Miami
The hot new couple, like countless other celebrities, are in Miami attending Art Basel. Twigs performed earlier in the week at the National YoungArts Campus.
FKA hid her face behind a copy of Anaïs Nin’s novel Delta of Venus while strolling along the beach with Robert.
The singer, who formerly served as a backup dancer for Jessie J and Kylie Minogue admits she hates being labeled, especially when the media calls her “quirky.”
“I think that’s why I’m so determined in what I’m doing. It’s why I will never be made to feel uncomfortable again, because I spent so many years feeling uncomfortable. But at the same time, I learnt a lot.”
Rob has been traveling the world with his new lady love, and seems to really enjoy her performances.
According to Gossip Cop, he will be performing in Brazil on Tuesday, and then pick up her tour again in the New Year for dates in Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia beginning in late January.”

Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus among hospital personnel is a common cause of hospital acquired infections. Emergence of drug resistant strains especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a serious problem in hospital environment. Therefore, the aim of this study by El Aila, et al. (2017) was to determine the nasal carriage rate of S. aureus and MRSA among healthcare workers (HCWs) at Al Shifa Hospital, the major hospital in the Gaza Strip.
A cross sectional study was conducted on 200 HCWs. Nasal swabs were collected during February through April 2015, and cultured on blood and mannitol salt agar. The isolates were identified as S. aureus based on morphology, coagulase test, DNase test and mannitol salt agar fermentation. Disk diffusion antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed according to the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. MRSA were confirmed by detection of the mecA gene by PCR.
Out of the 200 healthcare workers, 62 (31%) carried S. aureus, of which 51 (82.3%) were MRSA. Therefore, 25.5% of all HCWs were identified as MRSA carriers. MRSA carriage rate was highest among nurses (30.4%) whereas the carriage rate among doctors was (16%). The majority of MRSA carriers were workers of internal medicine department and surgical wards (41.3 and 35% respectively). Out of the 51 MRSA isolates identified by oxacillin disc resistance, 40 were confirmed by PCR targeting the mecA gene. Penicillin showed the highest rate of resistance among MRSA and MSSA isolates (100%).
The high rate of nasal MRSA carriage among healthcare workers found in this study is alarming and highlights the need for adjusted infection control measures to prevent MRSA transmission from HCWs to the vulnerable patient.

“The Ultimatum: Strange Love” Has a true cultural zeitgeist – partly because We, the people, basically crave queer drama and take what we can get, even if what we get is overproduced and disappointing. But the strange thing is that even if it’s cheesy, “The Ultimate” really makes me think about how important it is to protect queer culture — and queer time.
For those unfamiliar with the concept of queer time (or queer temporality as it’s sometimes referred to in more academic contexts), it’s the notion that The Queer people’s lives tend to follow a less standardized schedule because we don’t have everything The usual rites of passage like our cishet colleagues. Instead of simple highway systems that transport us straight from adolescence through family, college, work, marriage and children into adulthood, which is what many queer people do often Instead, there are sparse trails made up of the footprints of those who came before us. We take our time – sometimes a lot – to create ourselves and to come to ourselves.
To be fair, a lot of straight people want to get off white heteronormativity Freeway. Maybe that’s why so many people actually don’t want to have gay sex identify as queer. For many queer theory enthusiasts, the fact that we don’t live in the same “time zone” as everyone else is a crucial and beautiful sign of our resistance to white cis-hetero-capitalist patriarchy.
Beloved gay literary symbol bell hook (born Gloria Jean Watkins) once defined queerness as follows: “’Queer’ doesn’t mean it’s about who you have sex with (that can be a dimension of it); But ‘queer’ means it’s about the self that’s at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and thrive and live.” I would add that a divided self, as Hooks describes, takes time to do the work of inventing and creating.
So how can something as chilling as The Ultimatum be an invitation to reflect on queer theory?
Well, actually the cringe factor is part of it. This is one of the first times we’ve observed queer people reading the forbidden cis-heteronormative relationship script “marriage or otherwise” in the context of unscripted drama. Basically, we see a group of people caught up in the struggle to queer resistance while embodying normative cultural programs.
Yes, but doesn’t every reality TV do that? Certainly, and as we have seen, even Cishet youngsters resist in ultimatums “Death do us part”. But The Ultimatum: Queer Love is different in that the characters involved are sometimes at times self-aware as they play with cis-hetero-patriarchal norms. The slip (often emotionally violent) when they deviate from the cishet script is the real drama. AFAB people (attributed to female at birth), who may seem hysterical to straight viewers, read more compassionately to queer people like me – they have real trauma and don’t always know how to deal with it.
No one should be forced to make lifelong commitments prematurely, but it seems a particularly cruel thing to ask of those who already live in a world where it is so stacked against them. All the young people on the show seem to be They struggle with internalized homophobia and many of them harbor gender doubts. At least one person on the show doesn’t care about their family and you want them to choose a life partner on TV? It’s absurd, sadistic theatre.
Take for example the moment in Episode 7 when Xander is asked to choose Yoly over Vanessa. I won’t give too much away, but I have to say that Xander’s inability to choose anyone other than himself in this moment is inherently odd — and total subversion of the cishet status quo. I would say so Choosing between a woman is the cornerstone on which any heterosexual romance is built. Xander’s refusal is a small act of resistance that reframes the entire premise – whether I do it or not – into the uncertainty of queer time.
Xander’s “I don’t know” is the third secret everyone keeps talking about. It’s the queer, non-binary option. But when Xander demands her right not to know, the timeline explodes. Everyone is angry. How dare Xander not go for the obviously hot, totally extravagant babe in black leather over the plain slut with bad intentions? No one can advance until she chooses it.
Except that we can. And the show actually goes on. Sex! Theatre! Processing! What will happen next? Will she ever make up her mind?
Dealing with vagueness is one of the hallmarks of queer life and we should protect it. Yes, it introduces delays on the timeline, and those delays aren’t always welcome or practical — but they can be productive. Surely it may have cost some of us (Hello It’s Me) It took me about a decade more to get into college, but once I did, I was ready. And I may never have a life partner, but if I do, it will be an agreement between grown people who know what they mean when they say “I choose you” – not a forced enforcement of the status quo.
Frankly, at this point in my life, I have little patience for indecision—my own or anyone else’s. I just don’t have time for the loose ground of “maybe” when it comes to the basics of my life – precisely because I’m embracing my role as the future queer elder seriously.
I want to create enough ground in my life to be able to take a stand. This is not mandatory. I’m honored to have the responsibility to protect queer temporality and indeterminacy for young people like Xander. She shouldn’t have to choose, and I will fight for her right to defy the “ultimatum.”

Following eight straight weeks of profiling top-notch CEOs, and three rounds of actual community voting, it's time to unveil which CEO has been named the Motley Fool community's best CEO of 2012.
The methodology behind the voting was simple. Similar to an NCAA-style basketball bracket, the original eight CEOs were pitted into four matchups three weeks ago that the community had one week to vote on. Two weeks ago we released the results of the previous week's voting, and the remaining four CEOs were again bracketed for voting. Last week we unveiled last week's results and bracketed the top two CEOs for a final round of voting.
As you can see with the way this entire process played out, the ball really was in your court, and the Motley Fool community was able to have a say in who merits the coveted title of The Motley Fool's chosen CEO of the year.
So without further ado, let's get to the results!
In what was truly a heated battle between Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA) CEO Jack Lief and Lumber Liquidators (LL -3.57%) CEO Robert Lynch that drew more than 3,600 votes in just one week's time (nearly as many votes as all previous rounds combined), the winner of the highly coveted title of Motley Fool CEO of the year is... Robert Lynch of Lumber Liquidators!
In a vote that went back and forth numerous times, Lynch edged out Lief by a final tally of 54% to 46%; however, there's no shame in coming in second for Jack Lief. His company's weight control management drug Belviq appears in line to gain international approval following the struggles of its primary rival, VIVUS (VVUS), with Qsymia sales domestically and its inability to get approved in Europe.
Lynch and Lumber Liquidators benefited somewhat from a long overdue rebound in the housing sector. A mixture of higher new-home sales and continued remodeling projects boded well for do-it-yourself retail chains Home Depot and Lowe's as well as specialized homebuilding material companies like Lumber Liquidators.
But it was more than just luck that landed Robert Lynch in the CEO of the Year chair. Lynch's implemented three-point plan to turn his company around worked wonders, shooting the share price up threefold since the year began.
Lynch first switched up his company's marketing strategy to focus not only on the do-it-yourself customers, but also the casual homeowner that still planned to hire a professional. This is one reason same-store sales have consistently risen by double digits in multiple quarters. Second, Lynch turned his attention to controlling costs by overseeing the purchase of product development and logistics company Sequoia Flooring when he was COO in order to eliminate the high costs of having a middleman. Finally, Lynch focused on the deep discounts and value that bring customer traffic into his stores. As you can tell by Lumber Liquidators' performance, the results have been phenomenal.
Robert Lynch is, without question, a well-deserving recipient of the title "CEO of the Year," and I congratulate him (and the Motley Fool community who voted) on a job well done!

A construction worker from Brooklyn has filed suit against a hospital for subjecting him to a rectal exam against his wishes. According to his lawyer, the man begged, “Please don’t do that,” as he was held down, and he punched one of the doctors before being sedated and examined without consent. (The man allegedly developed post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the experience.) Can doctors force a test or procedure on a patient?
Not without a really, really good reason. A doctor can’t force anything on a patient who is competent to make medical decisions and refuses care. The idea of consent as a patient’s right goes back at least to 1914, when Benjamin Cardozo (who would later become a Supreme Court justice) ruled in a New York case that “[e]very human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body.” Without a patient’s permission, even a simple physical exam could technically be considered battery. Taken to the extreme, this principle gives individuals the right to refuse life-saving treatment or to seek “Do Not Resuscitate” orders.
Doctors rarely ask permission for routine matters like checking your blood pressure or listening to your lungs, though, on the grounds that they have your tacit consent. They assume you’ve granted permission for a blood test when you cooperate by rolling up your sleeve for the needle. (This principle only applies to tests that can reasonably be expected in the course of an examination. A doctor can’t assume consent for an HIV test when a patient shows up with a cold.)
For serious procedures like surgery, patients must consent in a formal way, usually with a signature. So even if your appendix is about to burst, no one can stop you from saying “No, thanks,” and leaving the hospital. If you agree to have your appendix removed and doctors then discover a separate tumor during the operation, they might still need permission to do a biopsy—probably from a member of your family.
Doctors can act without a patient’s permission in some situations. If it’s an emergency, and neither a patient nor his family members are capable of making a decision on the spot, doctors might go ahead and presume consent. This could be because the patient is unconscious or because he or she lacks the mental capacity to make an informed decision (as determined by a mental-health professional).
When public health might be at risk, the government has some ability to override an individual’s wishes. Health officials can order that a person be tested for a communicable disease like tuberculosis, but cannot force treatment on anyone. However, as in the case of the honeymooner who crossed several international borders with drug-resistant tuberculosis, they can quarantine someone until the person is no longer a threat, which is a way of strongly urging treatment. States also require vaccines for children attending school, but exemptions are made for medical, philosophical, and religious reasons.

In its bid to encourage greater interest among foreign investors to invest in Shanghai’s Free Trade Zone, the Chinese government will be lifting its blanket ban on Western social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, along with websites the government considers politically sensitive, such as The New York Times. However, the landmark decision to lift the blanket ban – often referred to as the Great Firewall of China – will only apply to the 28 square kilometer Free Trade Zone, the first such zone in mainland China.
In addition, the Chinese government will also allow foreign telecommunications company to apply for licenses to provide Internet access within the Zone, directly competing against the three state-owned telecommunications companies in the country. A government source told the South China Morning Post:
“In order to welcome foreign companies to invest and to let foreigners live and work happily in the free-trade zone, we must think about how we can make them feel like at home. If they can’t get onto Facebook or read The New York Times, they may naturally wonder how special the free-trade zone is compared with the rest of China.”
Under the Golden Shield Project , popular social media websites Facebook and Twitter as well as several websites were banned from being accessed using local Internet service providers (ISPs) since 2009, and continues today, making the lift within the FTZ a significant decision from the Chinese government.

Our focus is on issues that contribute to quality (performance) improvement and patient safety including accreditation by the Joint Commission (TJC) and operating systems performance. These services include not just traditional mock surveys and educational programs, but services to maintain continuous survey readiness and standards compliance. Our services to you include support with emerging issues, such as medical errors and patient safety and changes in standards or the survey process.[top]
To improve our clients’ systems and thus, ability to provide safe, quality patient care services.
We are more than ‘accreditation preparation’ specialists, although we provide that service and are very skilled at it. We use our skills and experience to benefit you and your patients. If we can help you in any way to provide services to your patients that are safer and of higher quality than they were before we arrived, then we achieved our goal. Thus, that goal is not focused solely on the short term accreditation survey, as important as that is, but on the longer term improvements that benefit you and your patients in a more meaningful way.[top]

Our solutions are based on practicality.
- Our approach is a pragmatic one. We keep the patient in the forefront of our thoughts.
- Gooch & Associates will not recommend solutions that cannot be implemented in your setting or culture. We will not recommend a solution simply to meet an accreditation standard. Solutions must make sense in your setting.
- We believe in constant, accurate communication. You will always be told of what areas you are vulnerable.
- You will understand the rationale behind any recommendation we make so you can apply that rationale to other situations, as appropriate.
- We do not establish co-dependencies. We will work hard so that you will be able to stand on your own without us. But, we will be available if you need us.
