In "The Defiant Ones," a classic film directed by Stanley Kramer, two escapees from a Southern chain gang hated each other but were handcuffed together, meaning they could survive only by working together.
Which is pretty much a metaphor for where President Obama and insurance company executives have found themselves all along with the Affordable Care Act.
When Obama decided that private health insurers would play a major role in health overhaul, he linked the success of his signature domestic policy initiative to the same industry that tried at first to keep the Affordable Care Act from happening.
For their part, insurance executives hated many parts of the law, like a sales tax on health insurance. They also feel abused by a president who they believe has repeatedly and unfairly demonized them while keeping them out of the loop.
But they love the thought of the law's individual mandate driving millions of more customers their way.
In short, there may be no love lost and lots of mutual distrust between Obama and the insurance industry, but they need each other — now more than ever.
"You've got strange bedfellows. You've got this industry that wants this to succeed and you've got an administration that has zero trust in the health insurance industry" said Robert Laszewski, a health care consultant, in an interview.
"It is a bizarre set of circumstances where the industry is in bed with these guys and has to stay in bed with these guys," said Laszewski, one of the top go-to experts for journalists.
"What the insurance industry wants is stability," he said. "It wants to get health insurance reform behind us. People in the industry know it's never going to be perfect, it's never going to be what they want. And Obamacare is full of flaws. But it's not single payer and it wasn't the public option. They got something in broad brush strokes, something they could live with. In detail, they got a bunch of crap they're going to have to deal with, [like] the cancellations."
On Friday, Obama met industry executives at the White House, one day after he announced he would issue an administrative fix to let insurers keep selling health plans that don't meet the bare minimum required by the new health care law.
The problem is that the cancellation notices to hundreds of thousands of Americans — blamed on Obamacare — have become a growing political liability to the president and Democrats. That's especially true since Obama repeatedly pledged that under the health law Americans would be able to keep health plans they liked.
The timing of Friday's meeting was emblematic of the bad blood between the president and the insurance industry. It came after, not before, Obama's Thursday announcement. Insurance industry officials told journalists they didn't learn the details of the president's plan to deal with the insurance policy cancellation issue until everyone else did.
Meanwhile, the president's fix put insurers in one. He was attempting to shift the blame from his administration to them. And in doing so, he put them in the complicated position of trying to unring the bell on hundreds of thousands of cancellations.
"This is a bare knuckles political move trying to throw the hot potato in the insurance industry's seat," Laszewski said.
White House press secretary Jay Carney rejected the accusation that having the insurers in the day after the president unveiled his solution was problematic.
"It is absolutely the case that we have been in consultation with and have numerous — have had numerous meetings with insurance companies over the course of the last several years with the drafting and passing and implementation of the Affordable Care Act. So — and those consultations continue," he told reporters Friday.
It is also "absolutely the case" that there's been much ugliness during those past several years. Example: Back in 2009, after the health insurance industry ran negative ads against Obama's health reform effort, the president called the advertising campaign "deceptive and dishonest."
It was all part of the general wariness between Democrats and much of the insurance industry that long predates Obama, dating back decades.
Insurance executives have long donated significantly more money to Republicans than Democrats. From 1990 to the current 2014 cycle, insurers have made 63 percent of their political donations to Republicans versus 37 percent to Democrats, according to Open Secrets.
Some of that money kept an earlier attempt at overhauling health insurance from happening during the Clinton administration. While it didn't stop Obamacare from becoming law, many of those political contributions from insurance officials are going to Republican lawmakers who have sought the repeal of the very law with the individual mandates prized by insurers.
It's just another example of how Washington is a place with its own special logic.

The Predator | directed by Shane Black
I was 13 when the original Predator (1987) came out in cinemas. Even in the late 80s, the graphics and science fiction aesthetic were amazing, however, some 30 odd years later, I'm watching it again in the cinemas and the graphics are even better.
The Predator is a continuation of the 1987 and 1997 stories. With a UFO crash landing on Earth, army rangers are tasked with retrieving hostages. Naturally, the alien, who is looking for anything that has been left behind by the last two Predators, attacks the squad. Government agents capture the Predator and take him to their lab for experimentation and observation, but, of course, it's never that easy when dealing with the Predator….
The Predator is jam packed with action, from the opening credits, right through to the end. If you're partial to guns, fast cars, aliens fighting, spaceships, then you'll love this film. For us women and men, the eye candy is reason alone to see it! Hot damn.
If you haven't seen the last two movies, don't fear. The Predator is a great standalone hero. For longtime fans, there are throwback plot catchups to bring the audience up to speed on the last 20 years. With a cast of mostly up-and-coming actors, the film is very well acted, and you won't even miss having Schwarzenegger as the film's hero.
A refreshingly unpredictable film, The Predator is a welcome addition to the franchise and to the sci-fi genre. The Predator series is a classic, engrained in the hearts and minds of all alien enthusiasts and this action-packed addition will surely not disappoint. Just don't forget to breathe!
See The Predator in cinemas now.

Doblons is another simplistic 2d shooter game that is incredibly addictive! Despite being very basic to look at its progression system is quite in depth, giving you the option to upgrade and design your boat in several different ways.
You start off as a very basic boat with 2 side cannons and the hope that eventually you can be a hugely feared battleship amongst the server. The game is very fun and because of the different available variations you can play a different way every time until you find what works best for you. You sail the seas collecting the coloured orbs which passively spawn or killing enemy ships in order to gain experience and gold which can be used to upgrade your own boat. There are stats that you can put points into for the cost of coins at the top left of your screen, and once you fill the xp bar you can add a gadget to your boat. In my own experience I found putting max movement speed with a strong hull and a battering ram to be incredibly entertaining. In this game you can use either the WASD or arrow keys to navigate and either left click or the space bar to fire your cannons. The f key is also used to fire aimed shots at the cost of coins.
The official ioGround proxy is a Chrome Extension that can be used to unblock Doblons.io so you can play at school or work. The proxy is similar to a VPN extension except it's optimized for unblocking .io games and only works on ioground.com.

Description•25 years ago
Height: 100% does not work when nesting tables (Width: 100% works OK), meaning that the inner table is not utilizing the full height of the cell of the parent table it is located in. This problem has always been there (I looked it from builds M5 to M8). I met this problem as my application depends on it. I was using the W3 site as CSS reference. The example below shows that 100% works for Width and does not for Height: (It works OK on IE5)

 Cell 1,1

 Cell 1,1	 Cell 1,2	 Cell 1,3

 Cell 2,1	 Cell 2,2	 Cell 2,3

 Cell 3,1	 Cell 3,2	 Cell 3,3

Moving this bug to HTMLTables and karnaze. cc'ing troy since he knows a lot about percentage heights. I'm not sure if this *should* work. It probably should work in some cases, but which? Certainly when the height of the cell is given. What about the row? (I think not, because row heights are really min-heights.) In which is it working now?

We support percentage heights on non nested tables inside the body using the viewport as the percentage base. This is done for compatibility reasons (not because it has support in the CSS 2 spec). Since Nav4.6 doesn't support percentage heights on nested tables, I'm marking this "remind".

Resolution: --- → WONTFIX
When I filed the bug report, I did not have compatibility in mind. I had a requirement, which is nesting a table inside another table such that the contained table expands (if necessary) to fill the containing cell. Otherwise these nested tables look pretty ridiculous. There is no other way I am aware of to achieve what I need other than using IE. The entire concept of specifying heights and widths in percentages is a system-wide concept, and tables should not be excluded just because some Netscape version written long ago didn't support it. I think what I want is supported or required by the CSS standard. Please give my example a try in Gecko as well as Internet Explorer and make sure you have an understanding and appreciation for percentage-based dimension determination.

Comment 8•22 years ago
I spent a lot of effort supporting percent height thingys inside cells which have no computed heights in all modes (quirks, almost standards, standards). Without this capability, there are a lot of pages that won't look right, and even if the authors changed those pages, some would not be able to achieve what they want. The test case in this bug looks a lot better than it did when the bug was opened, but one of the tables is still not streching to fill the height.

It appears the table in row 1, column 3 still exhibits the problem.

Interestingly, when you also apply height:100% to the TBODY elements, that table does stretch vertically to fill its' parent cell.

I see simliar problems with height=100% when a single table is inside of a

 block. I created an attachment to show this. In IE 5.5 on W2K the table fills the entire browser window, which is how I think Mozilla should handle it. When the

Comment 16•22 years ago
Hmm, I wonder if bug 195732 is a dupe of this bug.
Comment 17•22 years ago
I wonder if this bug is a quirks bug. as shown in http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030128/visudet.html#the-height-property <percentage> Specifies a percentage height. The percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's containing block. If the height of the containing block is not specified explicitly (i.e., it depends on content height), and this element is not positioned, the value is interpreted like 'auto'. for example

foo

 The height for the table must be auto. If there is another major browser, which is known for its block problems, now defines that the 100% refer to the viewport than it violates the CSS2 spec. So the question here is would we like to implement a IE quirk. The place to do this would IMHO be: at nsHTMLReflowState.cpp 1791 if (NS_AUTOHEIGHT == aContainingBlockHeight) { 1792 // this if clause enables %-height on replaced inline frames, 1793 // such as images. See bug 54119. The else clause "heightUnit = eStyleUnit_Auto;" 1794 // used to be called exclusively. 1795 if (NS_FRAME_REPLACED(NS_CSS_FRAME_TYPE_INLINE) == mFrameType) { 1796 // Get the containing block reflow state 1797 const nsHTMLReflowState* cbrs = parentReflowState->mCBReflowState; 1798 NS_ASSERTION(nsnull != cbrs, "no containing block"); 1799 nsCompatibility mode; 1800 aPresContext->GetCompatibilityMode(&mode); 1801 // in quirks mode, get the cb height using the special quirk method 1802 if (eCompatibility_NavQuirks == mode) { 1803 if (!IS_TABLE_CELL(fType)) { 1804 aContainingBlockHeight = CalcQuirkContainingBlockHeight(*cbrs, PR_FALSE); 1805 } 1806 else { 1807 heightUnit = eStyleUnit_Auto; I have no intention to work on a quirk, this might be necessary for the nscp/aol if yes they find the resources I will review a patch if it has passed the regression tests (they are mandatory as the quirks behaviour changes)
Comment 18•22 years ago
test case consists of outside table with fixed height rows and some sub-tables spanning multiple of those rows. Only the top sub-table in each column seems to get expanded vertically correctly.
Comment 19•21 years ago
Using a percentage value NEVER works for "height" in any instance for me, yet a percentage value for "width" always works. Trying to design a web page with an image or text that you wish to keep dead center of the browser by putting it inside of a table with attributes of
 will end up justifying it to the top of the browser window. It simply does not work and has not worked since M5. It worked fine before, and currently in IE and Safari. This problem isn't just with Windows 95, I've seen it on XP and on the Mac.

Comment 21•21 years ago
This example illustrates the problem (I suppose) in another way. Here I am trying to make a table fit the window 100% (height) and then put a DIV tag with overflow-scrollbars inside that table. The expected output is a table that fits the window with scrollbars *inside* it, making it possible to view the inner data without scrolling the whole window. Works on IE 6.0. I'm not 100% sure whether my rendering expectations are correct, but they do seem likely.

Comment 23•21 years ago
Frankly, I'm not sure we _can_ fix this easily... Doing the 100% height thing across table cells is bound to break some sites (because IE doesn't do it in all cases) and will probably break a lot more sites than it fixes....
Comment 24•21 years ago
As a matter of fact, what exactly is IE's behavior on the first testcase in this bug? What if you remove the doctype? Note that the other testcases are about different issues as far as I can tell; the only relevant one is the first testcase.
Comment 25•21 years ago
(In reply to comment #24) > As a matter of fact, what exactly is IE's behavior on the first testcase in this > bug? What if you remove the doctype? That testcase looks identical in IE6 as Mozilla. Removing the doctype results in that the upper table to the right gets a height of 100%.

Comment 27•21 years ago
OK. So IE's being all quirky on us here. Can someone please investigate _exactly_ what IE's behavior is in quirks mode? Please make sure to also test documents which have enough text to overflow the viewport.
Comment 28•20 years ago
After reading the bug comments I can see that only simple-page tests have been made on this issue. I have used the 100% height feature extensively with multiply nested tables and I can confirm that when properly understood and used it always works in IE for both expanding up to the size, and contracting a DIV to the 100% of available space. In Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape it works for expanding but not for size-limiting a DIV. In addition to the failure to size-limit, the Mozilla-derived browsers also seem to have problem handling DIV widths, as they almost always will provide too small of a space for the content and forces the user to do horizontal scrolling even when there is plenty of horizontal space outside the DIV to expand to. I don't know if using the height=100% is part of the standard or just "common knowledge" as the ONLY way to make the content to always fit in the viewable browser window -- very important if you want to ensure that, for example, the copyright notice at the bottom of the page is always displayed. So, regardless of whether this is a bug or not I would strongly recommend making this work. I would be glad to provide a sample of a fairly complex piece of code that misbehaves in Mozilla and works in IE. But because of confidentiality issues I cannot post it publicly here. If the developer that is going to fix this issue wants such code, please contact me via email. Bruno
Comment 29•20 years ago
I forgot to mention... the funky size recognition of 100% DIVs is very bad in Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape. It resizes to a different size every time you refresh or redisplay... it is not even consistent about how wrong it is. And it is a problem in both width and height.
Comment 30•20 years ago
This is an example of a reasonably complex (and thus realistic) page that uses table nesting and 100% height. This page works flawlessly in IE but fails to height-limit in the Mozilla-based browsers. Without the bug fix it is probably impossible to make this page work correctly in Mozilla, and even less likely to find a way to make it work on both IE and Mozilla. I have even more complex pages that I can provide as examples, if desired.
Comment 31•20 years ago
What is the conceptual problem here?!? A table with attribute height=100% inside a defined box (cell in another table for instance..) should take up all the vertical space. Seems pretty obvious to me. Why are the top two sub-tables in this simple example doing this and not the others? Seems like a bug to me. Who's quirky now?
Comment 32•20 years ago
Indeed... the concept is trivial. And the problem is not only with height, it is also with width. The height fails to limit, but the width in a DIV becomes random even if you use a fixed max-height. When the same page displays differently at each refresh you certainly get to notice, especially when the other browsers work fine. Since our apps are impossible without 100% heights and widths, when customers complain about it we are forced to tell them to use a better browser. Since I prefer Mozilla myself, this feels very, very wrong. Please, please, please... fix this mess.

Dear fellows, this bug does not get any better by adding rants, the only thing that is required is to answer the questions in comment 27. Precisely, so that it can be implemented. Bug 269156 is a good example of how this can be done. I hope people sooo concerned, will spend theire time on a precise description. Bernd

Comment 34•20 years ago
I disagree wholey with comment 27 - IE is not being quirky - its doing what every other browser in the word does - its the 'spec' that's quirky because it completely ommitted what a table's height attribute behavior should be when expressed in percent, last time I check some 3 or 4 years ago. This 'spec-quirky-ness' has been the premise for all these years of Mozilla not doing what the other browsers do. If a height-percent declared table or td would simply expand to the vertical space of its parent, everyone would be happy - vs. adhering to a spec that few if any web designers would ever agree with, and that only HURTS this browser.
Comment 35•20 years ago
> What is the conceptual problem here?!? A table with attribute height=100% > inside a defined box (cell in another table for instance..) should take up all > the vertical space. The question is what "all the vertical space" is. Sometimes that's the viewport, sometimes not. IE's behavior seems to be inconsitent. See comment 25. Again, what's needed is a clear description of when IE treats "all the vertical space" as the viewport, and when it treats it as something different. Ken, the quirkiness of IE is not in relation to any spec but simply because it uses a variable definition of "all the vertical space". Your comment is wholly unrelated to this bug, as are all the other comments after comment 27....
Comment 36•20 years ago
OK, here's my application that got me in this 'feature's way: http://marius:email@example.com:8080/ It's a demo of voter verifiable receipts (chaum stuff). I needed to render ballots and print top and bottom layers (think visual crypto). Obviously everything needs to line up etc so i print using white for stuff the layout engine needs to think about but not show. All ugly and hacky but the only way i could think of getting it done in plain HTML. In IE everything works as expected, tables stay same size, color cues work on the touchscreen etc. With gecko, table sizes jump around, the height doesn't stick, a mess. At least with my nested tables, IE behavior seems very consistent. I can't think of a reason why gecko can't behave the same here. Any suggestions as to how to make this application work with gecko are more than welcome. I tried poking at the firefox source but no luck so far, seems tricky. Obviously we wouldn't want to vote using IE.. marius

But since the issue was being ignored (bug opened in 1999), it seemed that what was needed was a reason to implement it, which is what my last comment said. As to comment 27... I have no idea what it is about, I have experienced zero quirks in regard to this issue from IE, only behavior that I expected. The issue is simple, at least in my case: "If a tag is inside another one, and is given 100% height or width, it should get 100% of the available space in the parent tag, after squashing all padding space in their sister tags. The display should be adjusted to preserve the 100% rule when the browser window is resized." This is exactly what IE and other browsers seem to do. Note that if you want to have a  or
 use all available space in a page, you have to RELIGIOUSLY grant its parent chain 100%, all the way up until you hit the  tag or a tag with a fixed size that determines a new "100%". I already provided a real-life medium complexity page that shows this problem. Marius provided another. I can provide some that are even more complex. You can easily create your own problem pages by nesting 3 or 4 tables, giving 100% to one of the s in the innermost table and all of its parent tables and s. The plop a
 inside that , with 100% width and height, and put a table inside that
. What you will see in most browsers is that you can hit "refresh" or resize the browser window, and everything will adjust while keeping the whole page inside the viewable space and preserving the proportions (as long as there is empty space). The total height of the page will be EXACTLY 100% of the screen, and the DIV will use all available space while bringing up the scrollbar if it has too many rows. What you will see in Mozilla is that (a) if there are too many rows in the DIV, the scrollbar does not come up and the page extends past the viewable space (b) if there are too few rows the total page height will be correct but the div will randomly be either the height of the parent TD or any height in between (c) the DIV will almost always have a horizontal scrollbar even when the content is not wide enough to justify it and part of the contant will be obscured on the right (d) when attempting to resize anything may happen... but certainly not a proper resize. From all the information in this thread of comments I fail to see what is not clear about the problem. It is 100% reproducible and there are several examples provided. Testing can be done by running those examples on IE and other browsers and comparing the results with Mozilla. I (and probably others) am willing to provide more examples of code that fail to work on Mozilla, but it is hard to know what else to provide. Bernd, can you please clarify exactly what it is that you don't understand about the problem?

I have tested all the attached and linked testcases, and I don't se any problem anymore, with: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4" So I think this should be closed! However there are a similar problem with iframe, and height="xxx%", see bug 295717 and bug 253363

But I am still having a problem with a DIV not being limited in height to 100% but rather going to full height - I will review the code in question one more time today, to make sure the error is not mine, and either post a sample page showing the problem, or confirming that the issue is gone.

Comment 41•19 years ago
(In reply to comment #39) Ok I looked again and I was wrong on at least 2 testcases: 1) "Reasonably complex page example multipart/zip" This testcase has not any DIV, but instead has IFRAME (which is covered by bug 295717 and bug 253363) So I still think this bug 10212 should be closed. You should enter an new bug, if you still can produce a test-case for your DIV problem. 2) "another nested table height failure testcase, show correctly in IE text/html" https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=123668 I looked again and I agree it fails (,maybe the testcase are not that obvious) I also tested it with: IE/6.0 ....... OK Avant/10.0 ... OK Opera/8.0 .... Also Fails, but more consistent. So to bring some order to this mess, I suggest that each testcase, that still fails, should be reopened as separate bugs.
Comment 42•19 years ago
This attachment (div.html) is a stripped out version of one of our real pages. It shows how the DIV expands to 100% (if you comment some of the rows) but fails to stop the height at 100% of the vertical space (you get a huge vertical page that you have to scroll, instead of scrolling the DIV itself). This functionality works perfectly in IE, but looks very bad in the mozilla-based browsers. Using max-height in the DIV style breaks the functionality in IE (which is 90% of our customer base) without fixing the problem for mozilla-based browsers. As you can guess by the copyright at the bottom of the page, this feature is critical to commercial software. Mozilla's failure to show it has made our company recommend IE - quite sad, since Firefox is such a superior browser otherwise.

(In reply to comment #41) > (In reply to comment #39) > So to bring some order to this mess, I suggest that each testcase, that still > fails, should be reopened as separate bugs. > > As requested, I created a new bug, #296576, and included the same information and attachment as supplied with my last comment. But since the 100% height for nested tables cannot be totally tested without fixing the DIV issue first, I suggest that this bug remain open until the DIV one is solved so that the interaction between the two can be fully tested. Having said that and if everything goes well, I suspect that no other changes may be needed to the 100% table code.
Comment 44•19 years ago
I wonder if this bug will ever be fixed. It's been around since 2002. And the bug that was recently created as requested in this thead was never handled either. Any insight as to why it might be getting ignored would be welome. I suppose we will have to continue recommending to our customers that they use IE. Because of this bug our product does not look good enough on Mozilla.
Comment 45•18 years ago
I have the same problem with nested tables with 100% height. Most of the time it displays the same page correctly but sometimes it shrink the page vertical and center it to the middle of the screen. Clicking the refresh button result in showing the page correctly again. In I.E. 5/6/7 it always show the page correctly. Im working with version 126.96.36.199

Magewell Capture Devices Simplify Live Event AV Productions for SEG Headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria with a satellite office in Vienna, SEG – formerly known as Special Events Group – is a leading provider of specialized services for the event industry in Bulgaria and Austria. With a mantra of "We Do Much More," the company offers a broad portfolio of event services including technical equipment; set and stage design; concept creation; furniture and décor rental; systems integration and event equipment sales. SEG also owns the Sofia Event Center, the most advanced location for events in the city.
With over 100 personnel, SEG has worked on more than 30,000 events since its founding in 2001 for top-tier clients including Amgen, CPX 360, Herbalife and Novo Nordisk, and continues to handle over 2000 projects each year. In 2016, the group expanded to include a systems integration and sales arm, Syntegra Partners, that leverages SEG's extensive technical and market experience to supply proven solutions for end-customers' ongoing needs.
The Challenge
For its event rental projects, SEG provides both the technology and the crew to operate it. The company first investigated Magewell products when searching for plug-and-play solutions to reliably bring live SDI or HDMI video and audio feeds into streaming or projection mapping software on their laptops. "With some other vendors' products that we have used, they're fine once you've configured them as long as you leave them set up and don't touch them," said Eng. Nikolay Kachamakov, CTO of SEG and CEO of Syntegra Partners. "But with the majority of our projects outside our own venue in other people's buildings, my team are travelling a lot around Europe and very frequently setting up on-site in a short timeframe. They don't have time to reconfigure a product every time, every couple of days. We needed something truly plug and play."
The Solution
SEG initially purchased two of Magewell's first-generation XI100XUSB-PRO plug-and-play, all-in-one capture boxes in 2014. Those units are still actively used by SEG's rental team, and the company has subsequently added close to a dozen of Magewell's newer devices including the USB Capture SDI Gen 2 and USB Capture HDMI Gen 2.
SEG's array of Magewell capture devices bring SDI or HDMI signals into their laptops via USB 3.0 for use with live presentation and projection mapping software including Dataton WATCHOUT and Resolume Arena, as well as streaming to CDNs and social media platforms such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live. SEG prefers the robustness of SDI signal transport, using HDMI only when SDI isn't possible because of customer-provided equipment or venue infrastructure considerations.
The Results
From their first all-in-one boxes to the newer USB Capture models, SEG found Magewell's devices to be much easier to use and more reliable than the alternatives they had tried. "Magewell devices were the first ones we used that were truly just plug-and-play, whether on a Mac or Windows system, and stable," said Kachamakov. "They're simply plug-and-go, with no setup required, and their ability to auto-sense the input format means we don't even need to worry about configuring the resolution if we're using a different camera or format." Kachamakov also noted that the Magewell devices' cost-effective price point provides excellent return on investment (ROI), while from a technical perspective their built-in, FPGA-based video processing is important for taking the computational load off the CPU on their laptops. SEG's success with Magewell solutions in their field productions has led them to also begin offering the products to their systems integration clients. "Our systems integration group, Syntegra Partners, resells solutions that have been proven in the field as part of our daily rental and production business," said Kachamakov. "Based on our own great experience with the Magewell devices, Syntegra proposes and sells them for projects such as Zoom Rooms implementations, Skype collaboration, streaming applications and lecture capture installations."
SEG is also developing a roadmap for implementing IP-based media transport based on the NDI® protocol (developed by NewTek) in their rental projects, with Magewell again poised to be part of that plan. "As CTO, I see network-based transport as providing exceptional flexibility and other advantages," Kachamakov explained. "We can easily go into a third-party venue or corporate building that already has robust CAT6 infrastructure and leverage it rather than pulling our own cables. We have lots of SDI cameras, though, so using Magewell's Pro Convert SDI to NDI converters will allow us to keep using those cameras without pulling hundreds of metres of SDI each time."
While NDI is on the horizon for the future, Magewell's USB capture devices continue to deliver valuable benefits to SEG in the present. "For me, the important thing is that with Magewell I have devices in our rental fleet that, no matter what I need, I never worry about the video capture – I just plug them in and go," summarized Kachamakov. "I don't need to take care of getting the capture working, it's plug-and-play, so I can just focus on the many other tasks that go into each event."

Solutions to dental anxiety come in many forms. When left untreated, many dental problems only get worse. We can help empower patients with dental anxiety to take the necessary action to treat their underlying conditions.
Solutions to dental anxiety are available at Fort Lauderdale Dental Studio in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area. Fear should never get in the way of your health. Call us at (954) 519-7792 to learn more and schedule an appointment today.
Understanding Dental Anxiety
Dental anxiety, also known as dental phobia, is a condition in which patients have a debilitating fear of the dentist. People with dental anxiety are aware that their fear is irrational, but have little to no means of managing it. They may be so panic-stricken by the prospect of seeing the dentist that they will only go when forced by extreme pain. Other common signs of dental anxiety include:
- Escalating feelings of nervousness in a dentist's waiting room
- Feelings of intense unease at the thought of a dentist placing objects in the mouth during treatment
- Physical reactions at the thought of visiting the dentist
- Trouble sleeping the night before a dental appointment
At times, dental anxiety may get severe enough to be considered pathological. Patients who find that their dental anxiety severely impedes their normal functioning may benefit from psychiatric treatment.
"People with dental anxiety are aware that their fear is irrational, but have little to no means of managing it."
Causes of Dental Anxiety
Patients of all ages and backgrounds can have dental anxiety. A multitude of factors may contribute to someone's unease at the prospect of being in the dentist's chair, including but not limited to fear of anesthesia, fear of injections, fear of pain, feelings of embarrassment, and feelings of helplessness.
All of the above are valid reasons to be anxious. Still, they do not have to overtake a patient's dental experience. Patients should be open and honest with their dentist about their anxieties, as this is the first step to phobia management. At Fort Lauderdale Dental Studio, we believe communication is key to a successful dentist-patient relationship.
"Patients should be open and honest with their dentist about their anxieties, as this is the first step to phobia management."
Coping with Dental Anxiety
Dealing with a dismissive dentist may only make the problem worse. Therefore, the first step to managing dental anxiety is finding the right dentist. Patients should also ask office staff about any recommended coping strategies and agree on a signal to let the dentist know if they need to take a break.
Mindfulness techniques can also help. Patients may want to try breathing exercises or doing body scans while in the dentist's chair. Others may benefit from distracting themselves by doing things like wearing headphones or occupying their hands.
Additionally, patients should let the dentist know if they are particularly sensitive to pain, even with local anesthesia. There is no need for patients to feel embarrassed about asking questions or being open about their fear. This is the only way to develop a truly individualized plan to attack one's dental anxiety.
"There is no need for patients to feel embarrassed about asking questions or being open about their fear."
Sedation & Dental Anxiety
Some patients with more severe dental anxiety may require more intensive management measures. These include:
- Relative Analgesia. Also known as "laughing gas," relative analgesia consists of patients receiving a combination of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a mask fitted to their face. This treatment is quick to take effect and also quick to wear off. Patients remain awake but feel relaxed for the procedure.
- Anxiety Medication. Typically, anxiety medication for dental anxiety comes in the form of a pill. It may be prescribed either by a dentist or a doctor. The patient will take a single, short-acting dose about one hour before their dental appointment.
- Conscious Sedation. Conscious sedation is a form of intravenous (IV) sedation administered either by a sedation dentist or an anesthetist. Patients under conscious sedation may drift off into a light sleep, making this known as "twilight sedation."
- General Anesthesia. General anesthesia is the most intensive form of sedation, administered through a combination of IV medication and inhaled gases. Patients are put fully to sleep and will require pre- and post-operative visits.
Not all forms of sedation are appropriate for everyone or every dental procedure. Our qualified team works closely with our patients to take the proper measures to provide the most comfortable experience possible.

Children & Dental Anxiety
It is not uncommon for parents to experience dental anxiety on their child's behalf. Parents should maintain a calm exterior as children will pick up on any anxiety displayed by their parents. Parents should refrain from telling their children that something will hurt or be painful, nor should they promise a reward for going to the dentist. Doing so will only cause children to anticipate something unpleasant and act accordingly. While parents should tell their children about any upcoming dental appointments, they should not overload their child with too much detail about what to expect. Dentists have received the training to give simple, non-threatening answers. Parents should prioritize stressing the importance of dental hygiene to their children instead.
"Parents should maintain a calm exterior … as children will pick up on any anxiety displayed by their parents."
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What can a dentist do to help my child's dental anxiety?
A. Dental anxiety among children is common, so many dentists anticipate having to use calming techniques. These include distraction, non-verbal communication, simple instructions, positive reinforcement, voice control, and in some cases, sedation.
Q. How common is dental anxiety?
A. According to WebMD, between 9% and 20% of Americans avoid going to the dentist due to dental anxiety. People of all ages and backgrounds can suffer dental anxiety.
Q. Are there any other words for dental anxiety?
A. The term "dental anxiety" is most commonly interchanged with "dental phobia." However, other synonymous terms include dentophobia, dental fear, fear of dentists, and odontophobia. These words all refer to the same phenomenon.
Q. Do I really need to go to the dentist if I have dental anxiety?
A. Putting off necessary dental treatments can be detrimental to your overall health. Patients who refrain from going to the dentist due to dental anxiety are more likely to develop gum disease and lose teeth. These, in turn, may lead to a decrease in self-esteem and negatively affect one's overall quality of life.
Q. Will my dental anxiety get better over time?
A. Continued exposure and positive experiences with the dentist should lessen your dental anxiety over time. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may also benefit from seeking psychiatric help for your phobia at another facility along with the dental treatment tailored to your needs.

Here's a great story for you!
A group of scientists who having discovered the secrets of cloning decided they would have a conference with God to tell God He was no longer needed. Yes, God had created humanity and all of life, in fact, from the very dust of the earth. But now science had taken over the job and God could retire.
So the top scientists in the world gathered together and they called God to a conference having told God, He/She was no longer required.
God said, "Explain this to me."
They said, "We now know how to make life out of dust ourselves."
God said, "Well then, okay, you go ahead and show me how you can do that."
So they reached down for some dirt and God said, "Uh, uh, uh, get your own dirt!"
I love that story because it just reminds us we get confused at times and think things really belong to us even our life itself. We begin to forget at times how precious the gift is of our daily life.
In everything we call ours, even our children, our spouses, our friends; they're gifts on loan from the Universe.
How precious it is to have these gifts in our lives this day; to have eyes to see and ears to hear. This day is a gift and it all belongs to the one who sources all of this.
Today, let's walk around in appreciation that we get to walk in the abundance of the gift of this life!
P.S. Want support in discovering and building your dreams?
In between my coaching and speaking schedule, I carve out a few strategy sessions each month. If you would like a complimentary strategy session (Value = $250), simply contact me here.

New research has shown that aloe vera, an ingredient essential to many skin care offerings, is now also becoming favored as an active ingredient in tooth gel.
The aloe vera plant has a long history of healing power. Its ability to heal burns and cuts and soothe pain has been documented as far back as the 10th century. Legend has it that Cleopatra used aloe vera to keep her skin soft, and the modern use of aloe vera was first recognized the 1930s to heal radiation burns. Since then, it has been a common ingredient in ointments that heal sunburn, minor cuts, skin irritation, and many other ailments.
Recently, aloe vera has gained some popularity as an active ingredient in tooth gel. Similar to its use on skin, the aloe vera in tooth gels is used to cleanse and soothe teeth and gums, and is as effective as toothpaste to fight cavities, according to the May/June 2009 issue of General Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry's (AGD) clinical, peer-reviewed journal.
Aloe vera tooth gel is intended to perform the same function as toothpaste, which is to eliminate pathogenic oral microflora—disease-causing bacteria—in the mouth. The ability of aloe vera tooth gel to successfully perform that function has been a point of contention for some dental professionals. However, research presented in General Dentistry may alleviate that concern. The study compared the germ-fighting ability of an aloe vera tooth gel to two commercially popular toothpastes and revealed that the aloe vera tooth gel was just as effective, and in some cases more effective, than the commercial brands at controlling cavity-causing organisms.
Aloe latex contains anthraquinones, which are chemical compounds that are used in healing and arresting pain because they are anti-inflammatory in nature. But, because aloe vera tooth gel tends to be less harsh on teeth, as it does not contain the abrasive elements typically found in commercial toothpaste, it is a great alternative for people with sensitive teeth or gums.
But buyers must beware. Not all aloe vera tooth gel contains the proper form of aloe vera. Products must contain the stabilized gel that is located in the center of the aloe vera plant in order to be effective. Products must also adhere to certain manufacturing standards. Dilip George, MDS, co-author of the study, explains that aloe "must not be treated with excessive heat or filtered during the manufacturing process, as this destroys or reduces the effects of certain essential compounds, such as enzymes and polysaccharides." Dr. George suggests that consumers consult non-profit associations such as the International Aloe Science Council to see what products have received the organization's seal of quality.
Although there are more than 300 species of the plant, only a few have been used for medicinal purposes. "Thankfully, consumers with sensitive teeth or gums have a number of choices when it comes to their oral health, and aloe vera is one of them," says AGD spokesperson Eric Shapria, MS, DDS, MAGD, MA. "If they are interested in a more alternative approach to oral hygiene, they should speak with their dentist to ensure that it meets the standards of organized dentistry, too."

I intend RoasterThing to be the best tool for coffee roasters there is. If you think it's missing something that would allow it to be this for you, please let me know. The pieces that's are not there that I'm currently pondering are Customers, orders and roast consolidation and QuickBooks integration. if those would help you, I'd love to know your thoughts. RoasterThing starts with a very complete system for keeping track of your green coffee inventory. From the inventory you may then Roast coffee, either one coffee at a time or via the blend builder. RoasterThing is designed to let you easily see the roast profile you're about to use, to save the settings for future review and to add comments after the roast to describe your results or if it's not a Behmor, it lets you record almost everything about the roast including the temperature profile. On the green coffee side, it lets you keep track of your inventory, almost automatically adding and reordering coffees purchased from Sweet Maria's. Designing, building and roasting blends is automated and reasonably simple. RoasterThing was originally written to help me understand what the heck was going on during a roast and hopefully with the addition of the history, learn and become better at creating exceptional roasts. If you think that there's something I can do to improve its ability to do that for you or if you find that something doesn't work the way you think it should or the way I say it does, please let me know.

By Makia Freeman
Everything is fake in our society today – or at least a great many things are. Our world is filled with an extraordinary amount of lies, deception, disinformation, misinformation, fakery, fraud, facades, mirages, propaganda and brainwashing. The good thing though is that once you awaken to the deception, you can use it as a tool for raising your consciousness. The idea that virtually everything is fake can be empowering rather than depressing. Sure, we've all felt overwhelmed, sad, angry and impotent at times when we've seen just how easily our (mis)leaders can fool the masses with sophistry and empty rhetoric, but they've all been placed there to challenge us to wake up more quickly and fully, and reclaim our world.
Here's my list of the top 40 pieces of fakery in our world today:
1. Fake News
Let's begin with the MSM (Mainstream Media), better called the lamestream media, and their "news", which is essentially corporate infotainment. The MSM waters down the news and makes it entertaining to further distract people from things of real significance. There is nothing balanced, impartial or fair about MSM news. In the US, Australia and many other Western nations, thenews is dominated by a handful of for-profit corporations who are legally bound to provide a return on investment to their shareholders. This means running "news" pieces which either promote the agenda of the corporate owners (especially the military agenda) or censoring stories which would hurt political allies and advertisers (like Big Pharma, who is the biggest contributor of funds for advertising on MSM according to former US Senator Robert Kennedy Jr.).
Additionally, the news is literally fake – remember the CNN green screen stunt where they pretended they were being bombed in Saudi Arabia but were really in a studio? What about lying news anchos like Brian Williams and Bill O'Reilly (Bill O'Leilly)?
2. Fake Journalism
Alongside fake news, of course, comes equally fake journalism. MSM journalists today are not the true investigative reporters of yore. There are exceptions such as journalists who used to work for the MSM Big 6 and are now working independently (either leaving of their own volition or having been fired) such as Ben Swann andSharyl Attkisson. However, they are few and far between. Most journalists function as little more than parrots repeating the corporate party line, and are too scared to rock the boat for fear of losing their jobs. The White House strictly controls who has "access" to the President and other officials. In general, if you want more access, you have to toe the line and ask easy, softball questions that make politicians look good. Additionally, the Government admitted it madevideo news releases or prepackaged news for the MSM, which then broadcast these releases as "news" without disclosing to its viewers that the pieces were premade by the Government!
3. Fake Entertainment
On the topic of media, let's turn our attention to Hollywood and the entertainment industry. If you're looking for fakery and superficiality, look no further, because Hollywood and certain parts of southern California are about as shallow as it gets. The dominating culture there dictates that it's more important what you look like than who you are; more important who you hang out with (and are seen with) than what you know; and more important how big your Botox lips or silicone breasts are than how big your heart is; and more important what you own and what's in your bank account than what gifts you've given to the world.
Hollywood's film and music industries are imbued with Satanism. This is easily seen with its influence on heavy metal, rock, hip hop and these days even pop (take a look at the Illuminati symbology in the music and videos of Madonna or Katy Perry). Actresses such as Rosanne Barr and many other Hollywood insiders have exposed how mind control, prostitution (turning up-and-coming stars into prostitutes or forcing them to have sex to "make" it) and pedophilia are rife throughout Hollywood. Michael Jackson suffered from mind control and attempted to tell the world before he was killed. Many others such as Mariah Carey and Britney Spears show obvious signs of mind control.
4. Fake Corporate PR and Advertising
Another aspect of visual media (TV) that makes you sick are thesegeneric "we care" fake feel-good commercials made by slick marketing departments of the corporatocracy, trying to get you to associate them with happiness, caring, giving, equality or any other value they choose from a list. They use marketing as a kind of weaponized psychology. Did you ever wonder why Big Pharma always shows beautiful models, happy retired people, bouncing dogs or smiling babies to peddle its poisonous, side-effect laden drugs? Corporations are soulless entities and legal persons – the epitome of fakery in many ways since they are fake persons with the rights of people and the responsibilities of none.
5. Fake Medicine
Big Pharma is the force behind Western Medicine, and Rockefeller is the force behind both of them. With its smorgasbord of synthetic drugs, vaccines, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, Western medicine or allopathy has earned the dubious honor of killing hundreds of thousands of people every year. A 2000 study by Dr. Barbara Starfield, MD, found that allopathy kills 225,000 per year in the US, while a 2003 study by Dr. Gary Null, MD and others, found that allopathy kills 783,000 per year in the US. Starfield concluded that Western Medicine in America causes:
– 12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;
– 7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;
– 20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;
– 80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals; and
– 106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.
Null et al concluded that Western Medicine causes:
– 37,136 deaths from unnecessary procedures;
– 32,000 deaths related to surgery;
– 98,000 deaths from medical error;
– 115,000 deaths from bedsores;
– 88,000 deaths from infection;
– 108,800 deaths from malnutrition;
– 199,000 deaths related to outpatients; and
– 106,000 deaths from adverse drug reactions.
Now, with its antibiotic drugs becoming more useless in the face of rising super bugs, you have to really question whether an entire medical system that is based on masking symptoms, "managing" illness, and getting patients on a hamster wheel of pill after pill after pill, can really constitute true healing – or whether it's just more fakery.
6. Fake Scientific Research
Backing the Rockefeller's Western medical Big Pharma cartel is a massive pile of fake scientific research. Like anything fake, the veneer looks shiny and leads you to believe what lies inside is trustworthy and reputable, when in reality it's reams of biased and concocted research with a peer-reviewed stamp on it. Former Big Pharma reps, esteemed medical journal editors and even insider governmental scientists have all confessed the shocking truth that a large amount of the published scientific data out there is fraudulent and simply can't be trusted. Check out the top 10 tricks used by corporate junk science.
7. Fake Acquired Immunity
Another piece of fakery is the idea that vaccine-induced immunity or acquired immunity could possibly be identical to natural immunity, which one receives after having successfully warded off a disease (e.g. like chickenpox). Vaccine proponents even go so far as to insist that the unvaccinated are endangering the vaccinated by not getting their shots (the herd immunity argument) – which defies logic, since if vaccines really worked, there would be no need for the vaccinated to worry about catching anything from the unvaccinated. In my article Herd Immunity vs. Viral Shedding: Who's Infecting Whom? I discuss how the human immune system is vastly more complex and sophisticated than we understand, and is made up of specific and non-specific parts. A vaccine does not closely resemble natural immunity in many ways, including only engendering a specific response, having a completely different point of entry, not conferring lifelong immunity, etc.
Besides, vaccines are full of toxins and carcinogens, including fetal tissue. The elite have admitted vaccines are being used for depopulation. The real issue is not herd immunity but rather viral shedding, whereby the vaccinated are infecting the unvaccinated. Vaccines are yet another example of supreme fakery in today's fake world.
8. Fake Food
True immunity is derived from lifestyle and diet, including what quality of exercise, sleep and nutrition you get. This brings us to the topic of food. Our food today has become so processed and packaged, so full of preservatives and plastics, that it has become fake food. It gets churned out of a factory rather than grown on a farm or field. It's full of artificial flavors and synthetic tastes – some of them even derived from aborted fetal tissue as Pepsi was forced to admit. Some of it is so refined and over-cooked it barely has more nutrition inside of it than a piece of cardboard. When you add the monstrosity of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) into the mix, you get a final product that Dr. Rima Laibow calls "phude" rather than "food", because the final engineered, processed product is so far removed from what our ancestors knew as real food. By the way, GMOs, in case you hadn't heard, can lead to organ failure, infertility and cancer, and are genetically modifying you as GM proteins bypass digestion and go directly into your blood (as is their ultimate purpose).
GMOs by their very nature are engineered to withstand massive doses of chemical and hazardous pesticides. GMOs are basically a way for chemical companies like Monsanto and Dow to sell more chemicals, because people need them to grow Big Biotech's fake food. The WHO recently declared Monsanto's glyphosate and Dow's 2-4,D pesticides as probably and possibly carcinogenic, respectively.
9. Fake Water
Just as we have fake food, we also have fake water. Real water is flowing and alive, as you can find in a river or mountain stream. Unfortunately, most of our drinking water today is dead, having passed through 90° right angles in a pipe, having been treated with chlorine and fluoride (both toxins), and containing remnants of antibiotics, glyphosate and Big Pharma drugs. It may do just enough to keep us alive, but it's not allowing us to thrive.
Water has memory and carries past information, as the pioneering research of Masaru Emoto showed. It absorbs what you are thinking and feeling, and changes its structure accordingly. If we as a society keep using synthetic drugs and flushing them down the waterways, the water will remember that, and future drinkers of it will get the "memory information" of drugs in their system, regardless of whether they actually take pharmaceuticals or not.
Not all water is equal. How beneficial it is depends on how it is structured. It is heartening to see people promoting structured water, which returns the buoyancy to the hydrogen and oxygen atoms making up the water molecule. We are water. Whatever we do to our water we do to ourselves. One way out of the deception and conspiracy is to take control of your water, and find a pure source, or ensure you both filter and structure your water to make it as life-giving as possible.
Everything is fake, and seeing that helps us return to what is real.

The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the human body. It is located at the back of the ankle joint and can be felt as a large, cord-like structure attaching to the back of the foot. Since tendons serve to attach muscles to bone, the Achilles tendon also attaches the large calf muscles, the gastrocnemius and soleus, to the back of the heel bone, the calcaneus.
The muscle mass and strength of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles are greater than all of the other muscles of the lower leg combined. Therefore, the pull of these muscles on the Achilles tendon is very large since these muscles help balance the body while standing, push the body forward during walking, spring the body forward during running, and spring the body upward during jumping. Because of the large amount of stress which the Achilles tendon is subjected to during running and jumping activities, the Achilles tendon is prone to injury.
The most common form of injury to the Achilles tendon is called Achilles tendonitis, which is an inflammatory condition causing pain in the Achilles tendon. Achilles tendonitis generally occurs in people who are active in sports activities. Types of sports that commonly are associated with Achilles tendonitis are basketball, tennis, running, football, soccer, volleyball and other running and jumping sports.
Achilles tendonitis tends to occur more frequently in older athletes than in younger athletes. As a person ages into their thirties and especially into their forties and fifties, the ligaments and tendons of the body tend to lose some of their stretchiness and are not as strong as before. This predisposes older individuals who are active in running and jumping activities, to tendon injuries such as Achilles tendonitis. However, Achilles tendonitis can also occur in teenagers who are very active in running and jumping sports.
Achilles tendonitis is diagnosed by a history and physical examination of the patient who describes pain at the back of the ankle with walking and/or running activities. The pain generally will be associated with an increase in running or jumping intensity or frequency. It is also often associated with a change from running in a thick heeled shoe to a thin heeled shoe, such as going from training shoes to racing flats and/or racing spikes in cross-country and/or track. The pain from Achilles tendonitis is often so severe that running is impossible and even walking is uncomfortable.
During the physical examination, the podiatrist will feel and push lightly around the Achilles tendon to see if it is tender or has any irregularities in its surface. Achilles tendonitis may cause the tendon to be thickened in areas, may cause swelling of the area around the tendon, and can even feel like the tendon has a painful bump on it. In addition, the person with Achilles tendonitis will limp while barefoot, but walk more normally with heeled shoes on. X-rays are not helpful in diagnosing Achilles tendonitis but may be taken to rule-out other pathology. MRI scans are only indicated if a partial or complete rupture of the Achilles tendon is suspected by the podiatrist.
Achilles tendonitis generally responds very well to conservative treatment as long as it is diagnosed and treated early. Surgery is rarely indicated unless the Achilles tendonitis is particularly severe and chronic, or if the tendon has ruptured completely.
Initially, the podiatrist may treat the Achilles tendonitis by putting heel lifts into the patient's shoes. In addition, the patient may be asked to avoid barefoot walking or walking in low-heeled shoes. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) and naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) may also be prescribed to calm the inflammatory process in the tendon. Icing may be suggested to help decrease the inflammation and pain in the tendon. Stretching exercises for the calf muscles may also be given to the patient to help loosen the calf muscle and Achilles tendon so that the tendon is not under as much stress during normal daily walking activities. The stretching should not be done however if it causes pain in the Achilles tendon.
Initially, the patient with Achilles tendonitis will be asked to modify their activities to decrease their running and jumping activities and do alternative physical activities, such as swimming, which don't put as much stress on the Achilles tendon. As the tendon starts to feel better, the podiatrist will allow a gradual return to normal running and jumping activities. If normal return to activities is not possible within a few weeks, then many times the podiatrist may additionally prescribe physical therapy and/or functional foot orthotics to help the tendon heal more rapidly. The foot orthotics generally are used during both the sports activities and walking activities to allow for more normal foot and Achilles tendon function. If the physician is concerned about a partial tear of the tendon the patient may be placed in a below the knee cast. It can take several weeks or even months for the tendon to heal depending upon the severity of the injury to the tendon. It is not uncommon for a patient to return to activities too quickly and re-injure the tendon. Careful monitoring of a return to full activity is important and the patient must have patience during this period of time.

Today's post comes from guest author Brody Ockander from Rehm, Bennett & Moore.
Truckers especially need to pay attention to this blog post. Most states require you to provide notice of your work injury to your employer as soon as is practicable. Failing to do so might prevent you from getting workers' compensation benefits.
Because truckers are always on the go, sometimes they may not remember to report their injuries right away. Instead, maybe the trucker will simply finish the route and decide to get checked out later, completely forgetting to inform the employer. This can become a problem later and potentially could give your employer a reason to deny paying work comp benefits or paying for treatment for your work injury. Unfortunately, this is a fairly common mistake, as pointed out on one of the firm's websites, www.truckerlawyers.com.
The moral of the story is if you're hurt, tell your employer immediately. Communicate via your Qualcomm, call in, radio, email, or do whatever it takes, even if you have to call from the doctor's office. Even if your injury seems insignificant at first, you'll still want to give your employer notice. You'll be better off in the long run.
Prior results do not guarantee outcomes.

Amazon Prime Is Streaming the Original X-Rated Cut of 'RoboCop'
In our monthly roundup of what was coming to Amazon Prime Video in October, we noted that Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop was being added to the service. (We also noted RoboCop 2 and 3 were also going up on Prime Video but, y'know, you don't really want to watch those.) It turns out this event is even more notable than we originally realized.
An eagle-eyed, content-conscious user on Reddit noticed that the Prime Video stream of RoboCop isn't the theatrical version. Instead, they appear to be showing the X-rated cut of the movie:
So I spot checked some of the scenes in Prime's video and this looks like the X-rated version according to this comparison: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=3609994. It also has the correct running time of 103 minutes. There is more blood and gore in this version. The Amazon page does not specify if this was the X-rated version though, so I checked it myself out of curiosity.
RoboCop earned that X rating because of the film's intense, pervasive, and very graphic violence. (Thanks Paul Verhoeven!) The theatrical version had to be trimmed down to get an R rating. More details, from IMDb:
The most extensively cut sequences involves the murder of Peter Weller's character, Murphy. The director's cut is almost a full minute longer. It shows Murphy's arm being shot off (cut completely from the R-rated version), more elaborate shots of Murphy writhing in pain as the thugs shoot him, and includes an elaborate tracking shot that shows the back of his head exploding into the camera when he is finally shot by Clarence Boddicker. This shot is especially missed because it made use of a fully-mechanical prosthetic Murphy built by make-up special effect artist Rob Bottin. The unrated director's cut also includes a longer shot of Murphy's hand being shot off and the camera lingering on his reaction and his stump.
The R-rated version of the film is the one you'd usually see on television — although the original cut of the film has been released on some RoboCop DVDs and Blu-rays. (Physical media: Still good!) This is a good reminder that you don't always know exactly what you're getting with streaming. Have fun Prime Video users, but make sure there are no impressionable young children around first. You can RoboCop in all its bloody glory on Amaon Prime here.

A catchall recipe for everyone, tofu scramble just may become your go to Sunday brunch.
"What's for brunch?" It's a common, lazy Sunday morning question in my home. When my boyfriend asks, I grin with a wink, and he knows what's coming. Tofu scramble. There's something about this recipe that feels one part adventurous (tofu is a canvas for your fresh garden delights, so this recipe never gets boring); one part comforting (think the mac-and-cheese of breakfast); and one part responsible (it's packed with protein, veggies and vitamins to jumpstart your Sunday fan fare).
Whether an outright meat eater, vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian or eggetarian, this versatile dish will suit every preferential palette. In fact, it's a great way to take a break from egg over-consumption doldrums. Best yet? It's so easy and fun, your boyfriend, husband, roommate (fill in the blank) just might give you the ultimate Sunday morning treat and whip it up for you.
Serves 2 generous portions
• 1 firm block of tofu (ideally use fresh, local tofu for the smoothest flavor)
• 1 cup broccoli (chopped)
• ½ medium onion (chopped)
• 1 handful cilantro leaves
• 1 chili pepper / hot pepper (to taste)
• 1 avocado
• handful of olives (of your choice)
• ½ teaspoon turmeric
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (or more, to taste)
• 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil (safflower oil or another high heat oil of your choice)
1. Prepare your tofu by removing its water and squeezing out any excess water by gently pressing it between two plates / flat surfaces
2. Heat your cooking oil in a skillet or sauté pan, and lightly cook the onion and broccoli.* When it is about halfway cooked, add the paprika, and mix together. Continue to cook the your broccoli until lightly brown and until your onions are slightly transparent. Remove from the pan.
3. Next, add the tofu to the pan (adding a dash of oil if needed). Cook the tofu on medium heat until the sides turn brown.
4. Add turmeric, salt and nutritional yeast to the tofu, and mix together until the tofu is fully coated with the turmeric and nutritional yeast.
5. Add your broccoli, onions and hot chili pepper to the tofu mixture.
6. Toss together, and sauté for another 3-5 minutes until lightly brown and melded together.
7. Garnish with cilantro leaves, olives and ½ avocado, per serving.
8. Serve hot, and enjoy!
*Note: This recipe is so versatile. Add in any farm fresh vegetables and herbs to play with the flavor and fit your palette.
(Recipe compliments of this author's Sunday brunch-loving boyfriend.)

Validate and Use Access Tokens in Smart Home, Video, and Meetings Skill Code
Once a user successfully enables your smart home, video, or meetings skill and links their Alexa account with your device cloud, requests sent to your skill include the user's access token (token
). Add logic to the service for your skill to verify the token, then use it to access information about the user's devices in the resource server.
Get the access token from the directive
When your skill receives a directive from Alexa, it includes an endpoint
section that contains a scope
. The scope contains a bearer token that you can use to authenticate the user in your system.
Following is an example endpoint that contains a bearer token:
"endpoint": {
"scope": {
"type": "BearerToken",
"token": "access-token-from-skill"
"endpointId": "appliance-001",
"cookie": {}
Retrieve the token from endpoint.scope.token
Verify that the token is valid
After you have the token
, verify that the token identifies a user in your resource server. The token could become invalid for multiple reasons, for example:
The user deleted or canceled their account with your service. For example, an Alexa user might have set up account linking with My Lights, and then later canceled their My Lights account. At this point, the token stored by the Alexa service would identify a non-existent user.
The token has expired, and the Alexa service was unable to obtain a new token. This can occur with an authorization code grant if your authorization server does not provide refresh tokens.
If the token is valid, handle the request normally. You can use the token to access data from your resource server as needed. In the My Lights example, the skill would access the device cloud and take an appropriate action based on the directive the user requested. For example, if the user invoked the TurnOn
directive, the skill would connect with the device cloud to turn on a light.
Respond to the user if the token is invalid or expired
If the access token is invalid, return an ErrorResponse
with the type
set to one of the following:
(for an expired token)INVALID_AUTHORIZATION_CREDENTIAL
(for an invalid token)
or INVALID_AUTHORIZATION_CREDENTIAL
error codes for any other error reason. Sending these error codes triggers deletion of the customer's account linking tokens, thereby unlinking their account with your service from the Alexa side. The only recourse for customers in this scenario is to re-link their accounts.Related topics
