Blanche Lambert Lincoln on AbortionDemocratic Sr Senator (AR) |
BOOZMAN: "I don't know particular bill you're talking about."
LINCOLN: "We've got it in our research and I'd be glad to provide it to you."
BOOZMAN:"I don't think so."
Immediately after the debate the Lincoln campaign provided the following elaboration: "In 2005, Boozman voted against a motion to recommit legislation on parental notification that barred fathers, who committed rape or incest against a minor that resulted in a pregnancy, from being able to sue the doctor who performed an abortion. [HR 748, Vote 143, 4/27/2005]"
Boozman responded by saying the Lincoln camp took that vote out of context: "John Boozman supported The Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act (CIANA), explicitly provided exceptions for cases where minors were the subject of sexual abuse or other physical abuse by a parent."
LINCOLN: Lincoln said she tries to take an objective approach to the judicial confirmation process and doesn't want a judicial candidate "who interprets the laws based on their personal views and political views."
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. WICKER (R-MS): This amendment with one issue and one issue only--whether US taxpayer dollars will be provided to help fund coercive population control policies, such as China's one-child policy--a policy that relies on coerced abortion and forced sterilization. Specifically, this pro-child, pro-family, pro-woman amendment would restore the Kemp-Kasten antipopulation control provision, which has been a fundamental part of our foreign policy for almost a quarter century. As it has always done, Kemp-Kasten allows the President to certify that funds are not used for coercive family practices. My amendment is needed because the underlying bill reverses this longstanding provision.
Sen. COBURN (R-OK): I stand in the corner of pro-life. But I want to debate this issue as if I were pro-choice. If we believe that women have a right to choose, why in the world would we send money to UNFP that is going to take that right away from women in other countries? You can't be on both sides of this issue. Either you believe in a woman's right to choose or you do not. Or you only believe in a woman's right to choose in America, and because the Chinese have too many people, you don't think that same human right ought to be given to women in China. There is no question that UNFP will mix this money, and we will fund forced abortions in China. [Without this amendment] American taxpayer dollars are going to go to China to enforce coercive abortion against the will of women and force sterilization against the will of women in China.
Opponent's argument to vote No:None spoke against the amendment.
SUPPORTER'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING YES:Sen. ALLARD: This amendment will codify the current unborn child rule by amending the SCHIP reauthorization reserve fund. This amendment will clarify in statute that the term "child" includes the period from conception to birth. This is a pro-life vote.OPPONENT'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING NO: Sen. FEINSTEIN: We already clarified SCHIP law that a pregnant woman's coverage under SCHIP law is optional. We made it obligatory so every pregnant woman has the advantage of medical insurance. This amendment undoes that. It takes it away from the woman and gives it to the fetus. Now, if a pregnant woman is in an accident, loses the child, she does not get coverage, the child gets coverage. We already solved the problem. If you cover the pregnant woman, you cover her fetus. What Senator Allard does is remove the coverage from the pregnant woman and cover the fetus.LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Amendment rejected, 46-52
SUPPORTER'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING YES:Sen. ENSIGN: This amendment enables enforcing the Child Custody Protection Act, which passed the Senate in a bipartisan fashion by a vote of 65 to 34. Too many times we enact laws, and we do not fund them. This is going to set up funding so the law that says we are going to protect young children from being taken across State lines to have a surgical abortion--we are going to make sure those people are protected. OPPONENT'S ARGUMENT FOR VOTING NO:Sen. BOXER: We already voted for $50 million to enhance the enforcement of child protective laws. If Sen. Ensign's bill becomes law, then that money is already there to be used for such a program. LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Amendment rejected, 49-49 (1/2 required, or 50 votes; Sen. Byrd & Sen. McCain absent)
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. VITTER: Whatever side of the abortion debate you are on, we can all agree on one thing: Abortion is a very divisive topic. In that context, I think it is the right policy to say we are not going to send taxpayer dollars to support groups that perform abortions. Now, the other side will say: Well, we have current Federal law that says we are not going to use taxpayer dollars to fund abortions. But, quite frankly, that is not good enough. Because now, we send Federal dollars to abortion providers and money is fungible--it is a big shell game and it supports their organizations and, in many cases, that funding is a huge percentage of their overall revenue.
Letter of Support from Family Research Council:
Recent reports indicate that Planned Parenthood generated over $900 million in income in 2006, of which over $300 million came from government. We should not be sending taxpayer money to an organization such as Planned Parenthood that performs abortions. Your support for the Vitter amendment will uphold the principle that the US taxpayer should not have to subsidize the abortion industry.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BOXER: The Vitter amendment is "Big Brother" at its very worst. It tells non-governmental entities how they should spend their own private funds. This amendment punishes the very organizations that work hard every day using their own funds to provide family planning services and reproductive health care, including legal abortion services. If Sen. Vitter wants to deny these funds, he should work to outlaw all abortion. That is an honest way. But to punish a private organization that works to give women a full array of reproductive health care is really, I think, a very sorry idea.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Since 2 years ago, the last Stem Cell bill, public support has surged for stem cells. Research is proceeding unfettered and, in some cases, without ethical standards in other countries. And even when these countries have ethical standards, our failures are allowing them to gain the scientific edge over the US. Some suggest that it is Congress' role to tell researchers what kinds of cells to use. I suggest we are not the arbiters of research. Instead, we should foster all of these methods, and we should adequately fund and have ethical oversight over all ethical stem cell research.
Opponents support voting NO because:
A good deal has changed in the world of science. Amniotic fluid stem cells are now available to open a broad new area of research. I think the American people would welcome us having a hearing to understand more about this promising new area of science. As it stands today, we will simply have to debate the bill on the merits of information that is well over 2 years old, and I think that is unfortunate.
The recent findings of the pluripotent epithelial cells demonstrates how quickly the world has changed. Wouldn't it be nice to have the researcher before our committee and be able to ask those questions so we may make the best possible judgment for the American people?
Status: Vetoed by Pres. Bush Bill passed, 63-34
Proponents recommend voting YES because:
This bill deals with how young girls are being secretly taken across State lines for the purpose of abortion, without the consent of their parents or even the knowledge of their parents, in violation of the laws of the State in which they live. 45 states have enacted some sort of parental consent laws or parental notification law. By simply secreting a child across State lines, one can frustrate the State legislature's rules. It is subverting and defeating valid, constitutionally approved rights parents have.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Some States have parental consent laws, some don't. In my particular State, it has been voted down because my people feel that if you ask them, "Do they want their kids to come to their parents?", absolutely. But if you ask them, "Should you force them to do so, even in circumstances where there could be trouble that comes from that?", they say no.
This bill emanates from a desire that our children come to us when we have family matters, when our children are in trouble, that they not be fearful, that they not be afraid that they disappoint us, that they be open with us and loving toward us, and we toward them. This is what we want to have happen. The question is: Can Big Brother Federal Government force this on our families? That is where we will differ.
EMILY's List operates as a donor network, recommending pro-choice Democratic women candidates to its members, who contribute directly to the candidates they choose. In the 1999-2000 election cycle, EMILY's List members contributed $9.3 million to pro-choice Democratic women candidates. In its 16-year history, EMILY's List has helped to elect four women governors, eleven women to the United States Senate and 53 women to the U.S. House of Representatives. "Women continue to be the power players in Democratic politics," said Ellen R. Malcolm, president of EMILY's List. "In 2002, redistricting could result in as many as 75 open seats, creating multiple opportunities to recruit and elect pro-choice Democratic women."
For over thirty years, NARAL Pro-Choice America has been the political arm of the pro-choice movement and a strong advocate of reproductive freedom and choice. NARAL Pro-Choice America's mission is to protect and preserve the right to choose while promoting policies and programs that improve women's health and make abortion less necessary. NARAL Pro-Choice America works to educate Americans and officeholders about reproductive rights and health issues and elect pro-choice candidates at all levels of government. The NARAL ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
Dear Mr. President:
We write to urge you to expand the current federal policy concerning embryonic stem cell research.
Embryonic stem cells have the potential to be used to treat and better understand deadly and disabling diseases and conditions that affect more than 100 million Americans, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and many others.
We appreciate your words of support for the enormous potential of this research, and we know that you intended your policy to help promote this research to its fullest. As you know, the Administration's policy limits federal funding only to embryonic stem cells that were derived by August 9, 2001.
However, scientists have told us that since the policy went into effect more than two years ago, we have learned that the embryonic stem cell lines eligible for federal funding will not be suitable to effectively promote this research. We therefore feel it is essential to relax the restrictions in the current policy for this research to be fully explored.
Among the difficult challenges with the current policy are the following:
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 NRLC scores as follows:
The ultimate goal of the National Right to Life Committee is to restore legal protection to innocent human life. The primary interest of the National Right to Life Committee and its members has been the abortion controversy; however, it is also concerned with related matters of medical ethics which relate to the right to life issues of euthanasia and infanticide. The Committee does not have a position on issues such as contraception, sex education, capital punishment, and national defense. The National Right to Life Committee was founded in 1973 in response to the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, legalizing the practice of human abortion in all 50 states, throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy.
The NRLC has been instrumental in achieving a number of legislative reforms at the national level, including a ban on non-therapeutic experimentation of unborn and newborn babies, a federal conscience clause guaranteeing medical personnel the right to refuse to participate in abortion procedures, and various amendments to appropriations bills which prohibit (or limit) the use of federal funds to subsidize or promote abortions in the United States and overseas.
In addition to maintaining a lobbying presence at the federal level, NRLC serves as a clearinghouse of information for its state affiliates and local chapters, its individual members, the press, and the public.

I notice that it's not easy to find cream puffs here but Éclairs seem to be more easily available at the bakeries so if I want to indulge in this delicious treats I have to make it myself.

2) In a heavy saucepan combine water, butter and salt. Bring it up to a boil. Add in flour all at once and stir vigorously until mixture cook and turn into a ball. Remove and set aside to cool down for 10 minutes.
3) Transfer the dough to a mixer and whisk in one egg at a time, mixing it well after each addition.
4) Drop about 2 tbsp of dough into the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cream puffs are brown. Transfer puffs to wire rack to cool.
The same dough can be make into Éclairs

We now offer online classes with in person lab training. Enroll today.
Enjoy a fulfilling career, as well as job security in a very high-demand Victorville! With a2z Health's online Physical Therapy Aide Technician Training, Victorville CA students develop the skills and experience necessary to be successful as a Physical Therapy Aide Technician. Opportunities in and around Victorville are endless because physical therapists are in need of aide technicians to assist with physical therapy sessions and provide quality care for patients.
Physical Therapy Aide Technician Training
Physical therapy is one of a number of medical fields in which employment and demand for employment as a physical therapy aide technician in Victorville CA is increasing. Physical therapists, and those who work under their supervision, are an integral part of a patient's physical rehabilitation process.
Whether it is an illness or a substantial bodily injury that has impaired the body's function, physical therapists are trained to help patients regain comfort and mobility they enjoyed prior to their afflictions. While physical therapists are highly skilled healthcare professionals, they do need help with the daily operations of offices, clinics and hospitals.
This is where a seemingly lesser-known member of the healthcare field comes into play: physical therapy aide technicians. Physical therapy aide technicians help physical therapists and other therapists with both administrative and patient care tasks.
Physical therapy aides and technicians play a similar role to physical therapists that other healthcare support workers in other fields play to their respective doctors. They handle the tasks that make patient visits possible and ones that the doctor(s) cannot do by themselves simply by virtue of the limitations of time and space.
Many people may not know what exactly a physical therapy aide technician does or how it is different from a physical therapy assistant. This page is designed to serve as a rundown of basic information about physical therapy aides and technicians.
What Do Physical Therapy Aide Technicians Do?
Like other healthcare support professionals, physical therapy aide technicians perform tasks that are necessary to the function of their employer's business. They are trained to complete clinical and administrative tasks in nursing facilities, physical therapist offices, hospitals and other settings.
Physical therapy aide technicians are crucial cogs in the well-oiled machines that are therapists' offices, clinics and hospitals. Among the common duties that physical therapy aides fulfill include:
Cleaning treatment areas and equipment
Setting up therapy stations, tools and equipment
Escorting patients through the office or facility
Ordering supplies
Gait training
Preparing patient transport
Scheduling patient appointments
Answering phones and filling out insurance forms
Recognizing the need for continuing education and staying current in healthcare mandates
And so much more!
Fifty-five percent of physical therapy aides are employed in therapists' offices. Such therapists include occupational therapists and speech therapists, not just physical therapists. Physical therapy aide technicians play a pivotal role in the functioning of therapists' offices.
The tasks that physical therapy aides and technicians are eligible to complete differ by the state in which they are employed.
Physical Therapy Aide Technicians Pay
The median annual wage for physical therapist aide technicians was $27,000 in May 2019. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $20,310, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $39,740.
The median annual wage for physical therapist assistants was $58,790 in May 2019. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $33,450, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $80,840.
In May 2019, the median annual wages for physical therapist aides and technicians in the top industries in which they worked were as follows:
Nursing care facilities (skilled nursing facilities) $34,490
Hospitals; state, local, and private $29,570
Offices of physicians $28,430
Government $28,090
Offices of physical, occupational and $25,600
speech therapists, and audiologists
Are Victorville physical therapy aide technicians the same as physical therapy assistants?
Though the two positions' titles may sound synonymous and share the PTA acronym, there are significant differences between physical therapy aide technicians and assistants.
Physical therapy aides work under supervision of physical therapy assistants. A physical therapy assistant's job consists of more patient care duties, such as teaching patients exercises, treating patients with various techniques and implementing the use of equipment in patient treatment.
Physical therapy aide technicians, on the other hand, handle administrative tasks in addition to patient care preparation. It is important that both aide technicians and assistants have knowledge of proper lifting techniques, as they may frequently need to lift patients up. Such techniques can help prevent back injuries, which are common within the occupation.
Physical therapy aide technicians can enter the workforce sooner than physical therapy assistants because assistants are required to complete an associate's degree program at the minimum before beginning to work.
The Job Market In Victorville For Physical Therapy Aid Technicians
The employment market for physical therapy aids is strong and will continue to grow stronger in time. At a2z Health, our Victorville Physical Therapy Aid Technician Training program is set up for your success. To request more information about our Physical Therapy Aid Technician Training program, prospective Victorville students can call us today at (888) 303-3131!

For a good long while, Mitt Romney was the luckiest man in politics. He joined the 2012 race as the default Republican front runner after more-formidable challengers chose not to run. His declared rivals were at turns ineffectual (Tim Pawlenty), ridiculous (Herman Cain) or self-destructive (Newt Gingrich) — granting Romney a fairly easy, if occasionally fraught, path to the nomination. An economic recovery that might have made challenging Barack Obama pointless never materialized. For a time, you might say, all the trees seemed to be the right height. As Romney wrapped up his primary campaign, the conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, skeptical of Romney's innate abilities, urged the would-be nominee to "pray for yet more luck, the quality Napoleon famously valued in his generals above all others."
(LIST: All Campaign Gaffes from 2008)
More recently, however, Romney's luck has turned. His campaign has been star-crossed, veering from one minor disaster to another. The latest example is the emergence of Romney's covertly recorded observation at a Florida fundraiser that the 47% of Americans who pay no federal income taxes will never vote for him because they "believe they are victims" entitled to endless government support and, by the way, will never "take personal responsibility and care for their lives." Not to generalize or anything. This, just days after Romney's rash statement late on the night of Sept. 11 suggesting that the Obama Administration sympathized with the violent mobs in Cairo and Benghazi. (This Pew poll tells the story of how that went over.)
(MORE: Video Captures Uncensored Mitt Romney at Fundraiser)
Before that, there was a convention to forget: Clint Eastwood vs. an empty chair. Romney's failure to mention Afghanistan. And the way the Democrats' big speakers (Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama) outshone the GOP's ho-hums (Marco Rubio) and flops (Chris Christie).
(PHOTOS: Political Pictures of the Week, Sept. 7–14)
Before that was a summer of woe: Democrats murdered Romney in the free media wars that establish the campaign's narrative. They skillfully dribbled factoids about Romney's tenure at Bain Capital on liberal blogs, chum that successfully drew the big-media sharks. Senate majority leader Harry Reid mounted an insidiously effective innuendo campaign in which he repeated unproven allegations that Romney hadn't paid any income taxes for a decade. Someone even alerted the Washington Post to Romney's boyhood bullying.
And let's not forget some other ignoble moments. Like Romney's putatively statesmanlike overseas trip that became a media circus. Or the stunning Supreme Court ruling that upheld Obamacare, undermining an important Romney line of attack (and throwing his campaign into confusion about how to respond). Or the general-election opening "Etch A Sketch" moment.
(MORE: Mark Halperin: Why This Is Bad for Romney)
And now the leaked video, with its tone of contempt for nearly half of the country, whose creator remains unknown.
Conservatives will complain, not entirely without merit, that many of these episodes were overblown, whipped into a froth by a "gotcha" press corps that finds Romney unlovable or even ridiculous. It's also true that Obama's team has stepped in it more than once. ("You didn't build that"; the over-reaching super-PAC ad effectively practically accusing Romney of manslaughter.)
But the fact is that Romney's luck ran out long ago. And his unluckiness has revealed his limitations as a presidential candidate (and those of his campaign team). Romney's fortunes may turn again. But for now, more than a few Republicans are wondering whether his nomination was their party's rotten luck.

Home » TeensPages » Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Most of us spend time in front of the mirror checking our appearance. Some people spend more time than others, but taking care of our bodies and being interested in our appearance is natural.
How we feel about our appearance is part of our body image and self-image. Many people have some kind of dissatisfaction with their bodies. This can be especially true during the teen years when our bodies and appearance go through lots of changes.
Although many people feel dissatisfied with some aspect of their appearance, these concerns usually don't constantly occupy their thoughts or cause them to feel tormented. But for some people, concerns about appearance become quite extreme and upsetting.
Some people become so focused on imagined or minor imperfections in their looks that they can't seem to stop checking or obsessing about their appearance. Being constantly preoccupied and upset about body imperfections or appearance flaws is called body dysmorphic disorder.
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a condition that involves obsessions, which are distressing thoughts that repeatedly intrude into a person's awareness. With BDD, the distressing thoughts are about perceived appearance flaws.
People with BDD might focus on what they think is a facial flaw, but they can also worry about other body parts, such as short legs, breast size, or body shape. Just as people with eating disorders obsess about their weight, those with BDD become obsessed over an aspect of their appearance. They may worry their hair is thin, their face is scarred, their eyes aren't exactly the same size, their nose is too big, or their lips are too thin.
BDD has been called "imagined ugliness" because the appearance issues the person is obsessing about usually are so small that others don't even notice them. Or, if others do notice them, they consider them minor. But for someone with BDD, the concerns feel very real, because the obsessive thoughts distort and magnify any tiny imperfection.
Because of the distorted body image caused by BDD, a person might believe that he or she is too horribly ugly or disfigured to be seen.
Besides obsessions, BDD also involves compulsions and avoidance behaviors.
A compulsion is something a person does to try to relieve the tension caused by the obsessive thoughts. For example, someone with obsessive thoughts that her nose is horribly ugly might check her appearance in the mirror, apply makeup, or ask someone many times a day whether her nose looks ugly. These types of checking, fixing, and asking are compulsions.
Somebody with obsessions usually feels a strong or irresistible urge to do compulsions because they can provide temporary relief from the terrible distress. The compulsions seem like the only way to escape bad feelings caused by bad thoughts. Compulsive actions often are repeated many times a day, taking up lots of time and energy.
Avoidance behaviors are also a part of BDD. A person might stay home or cover up to avoid being seen by others. Avoidance behaviors also include things like not participating in class or socializing, or avoiding mirrors.
With BDD, a pattern of obsessive thoughts, compulsive actions, and avoidance sets in. Even though the checking, fixing, asking, and avoiding seem to relieve terrible feelings, the relief is just temporary. In reality, the more someone performs compulsions or avoids things, the stronger the pattern of obsessions, compulsions, and avoidance becomes.
After a while, it takes more and more compulsions to relieve the distress caused by the bad thoughts. A person with BDD doesn't want to be preoccupied with these thoughts and behaviors, but with BDD it can seem impossible to break the pattern.
Although the exact cause of BDD is still unclear, experts believe it is related to problems with serotonin, one of the brain's chemical neurotransmitters. Poor regulation of serotonin also plays a role in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders, as well as depression.
Some people may be more prone to problems with serotonin balance, including those with family members who have problems with anxiety or depression. This may help explain why some people develop BDD but others don't.
Cultural messages can also play a role in BDD by reinforcing somebody's concerns about appearance. Critical messages or unkind teasing about appearance as someone is growing up may also contribute to a person's sensitivity to BDD. But while cultural messages, criticism, and teasing might harm someone's body image, these things alone usually do not result in BDD.
It's hard to know exactly how common BDD is because most people with BDD are unwilling to talk about their concerns or seek help. But compared with those who feel somewhat dissatisfied with their appearance, very few people have true BDD. BDD usually begins in the teen years, and if it's not treated, can continue into adulthood.
Sometimes people with BDD feel ashamed and keep their concerns secret. They may think that others will consider them vain or superficial.
Other people might become annoyed or irritated with somebody's obsessions and compulsions about appearance. They don't understand BDD or what the person is going through. As a result, those with BDD may feel misunderstood, unfairly judged, or alone. Because they avoid contact with others, they may have few friends or activities to enjoy.
It's extremely upsetting to be tormented by thoughts about appearance imperfections. These thoughts intrude into a person's awareness throughout the day and are hard to ignore. People with mild to moderate symptoms of BDD usually spend a great deal of time grooming themselves in the morning. Throughout the day, they may frequently check their appearance in mirrors or windows. In addition, they may repeatedly seek reassurance from people around them that they look OK.
Although people with mild BDD usually continue to go to school, the obsessions can interfere with their daily lives. For example, someone might measure or examine the "flawed" body part repeatedly or spend large sums of money and time on makeup to cover the problem.
Some people with BDD hide from others, and avoid going places because of fear of being seen. Spending so much time and energy on appearance concerns robs a person of pleasure and happiness, and of opportunities for fun and socializing.
People with severe symptoms may drop out of school, quit their jobs, or refuse to leave their homes. Many people with BDD also develop depression. Those with the most severe BDD might even consider or attempt suicide.
Many people with BDD seek the help of a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon to try to correct appearance flaws. But dermatology treatments or plastic surgery don't change the BDD. Those who find cosmetic surgeons willing to perform surgery are often not satisfied with the results. They may find that even though their appearance has changes, the obsessive thinking is still present, and they begin to focus on some other imperfection.
If you or someone you know has BDD, the first step is recognizing what might be causing the distress. Many times, people with BDD are so focused on their appearance that they believe the answer lies in correcting how they look, not with their thoughts.
The real problem with BDD lies in the obsessions and compulsions, which distort body image, making someone feel ugly. Because people with BDD believe what they're perceiving is true and accurate, sometimes the most challenging part of overcoming the disorder is being open to new ideas about what might help.
BDD can be treated by an experienced mental health professional. Usually, the treatment involves a type of talk therapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy. This approach helps to correct the pattern that's causing the body image distortion and the extreme distress.
In cognitive behavioral therapy, a therapist helps a person to examine and change faulty beliefs, resist compulsive behaviors, and face stressful situations that trigger appearance concerns. Sometimes doctors prescribe medication along with the talk therapy.
Treatment for BDD takes time, hard work, and patience. It helps if a person has the support of a friend or loved one. If someone with BDD is also dealing with depression, anxiety, feeling isolated or alone, or other life situations, the therapy can address those issues, too.
Body dysmorphic disorder, like other obsessions, can interfere with a person's life, robbing it of pleasure and draining energy. An experienced psychologist or psychiatrist who is knowledgeable about BDD can help break the grip of the disorder so that a person can fully enjoy life.

Opcode - Disable named opcodes when compiling perl code
use Opcode;
Perl code is always compiled into an internal format before execution.
Evaluating perl code (e.g. via "eval" or "do 'file'") causes the code to be compiled into an internal format and then, provided there was no error in the compilation, executed. The internal format is based on many distinct opcodes.
By default no opmask is in effect and any code can be compiled.
The Opcode module allow you to define an operator mask to be in effect when perl next compiles any code. Attempting to compile code which contains a masked opcode will cause the compilation to fail with an error. The code will not be executed.
The Opcode module is not usually used directly. See the ops pragma and Safe modules for more typical uses.
The Opcode module does not implement an effective sandbox for evaluating untrusted code with the perl interpreter.
Bugs in the perl interpreter that could be abused to bypass Opcode restrictions are not treated as vulnerabilities. See perlsecpolicy for additional information.
The authors make no warranty, implied or otherwise, about the suitability of this software for safety or security purposes.
The authors shall not in any case be liable for special, incidental, consequential, indirect or other similar damages arising from the use of this software.
Your mileage will vary. If in any doubt do not use it.
The canonical list of operator names is the contents of the array PL_op_name defined and initialised in file opcode.h of the Perl source distribution (and installed into the perl library).
Each operator has both a terse name (its opname) and a more verbose or recognisable descriptive name. The opdesc function can be used to return a list of descriptions for a list of operators.
Many of the functions and methods listed below take a list of operators as parameters. Most operator lists can be made up of several types of element. Each element can be one of
Operator names are typically small lowercase words like enterloop, leaveloop, last, next, redo etc. Sometimes they are rather cryptic like gv2cv, i_ncmp and ftsvtx.
Operator tags can be used to refer to groups (or sets) of operators. Tag names always begin with a colon. The Opcode module defines several optags and the user can define others using the define_optag function.
An opname or optag can be prefixed with an exclamation mark, e.g., !mkdir. Negating an opname or optag means remove the corresponding ops from the accumulated set of ops at that point.
An opset as a binary string of approximately 44 bytes which holds a set or zero or more operators.
The opset and opset_to_ops functions can be used to convert from a list of operators to an opset and vice versa.
Wherever a list of operators can be given you can use one or more opsets. See also Manipulating Opsets below.
The Opcode package contains functions for manipulating operator names tags and sets. All are available for export by the package.
In a scalar context opcodes returns the number of opcodes in this version of perl (around 350 for perl-5.7.0).
In a list context it returns a list of all the operator names. (Not yet implemented, use @names = opset_to_ops(full_opset).)
Returns an opset containing the listed operators.
Returns a list of operator names corresponding to those operators in the set.
Returns a string representation of an opset. Can be handy for debugging.
Returns an opset which includes all operators.
Returns an opset which contains no operators.
Returns an opset which is the inverse set of the one supplied.
Returns true if the supplied opset looks like a valid opset (is the right length etc) otherwise it returns false. If an optional second parameter is true then verify_opset will croak on an invalid opset instead of returning false.
Most of the other Opcode functions call verify_opset automatically and will croak if given an invalid opset.
Define OPTAG as a symbolic name for OPSET. Optag names always start with a colon :
The optag name used must not be defined already (define_optag will croak if it is already defined). Optag names are global to the perl process and optag definitions cannot be altered or deleted once defined.
It is strongly recommended that applications using Opcode should use a leading capital letter on their tag names since lowercase names are reserved for use by the Opcode module. If using Opcode within a module you should prefix your tags names with the name of your module to ensure uniqueness and thus avoid clashes with other modules.
Adds the supplied opset to the current opmask. Note that there is currently no mechanism for unmasking ops once they have been masked. This is intentional.
Returns an opset corresponding to the current opmask.
This takes a list of operator names and returns the corresponding list of operator descriptions.
Dumps to STDOUT a two column list of op names and op descriptions. If an optional pattern is given then only lines which match the (case insensitive) pattern will be output.
It's designed to be used as a handy command line utility:
perl -MOpcode=opdump -e opdump
perl -MOpcode=opdump -e 'opdump Eval'
Opsets may be manipulated using the perl bit vector operators & (and), | (or), ^ (xor) and ~ (negate/invert).
However you should never rely on the numerical position of any opcode within the opset. In other words both sides of a bit vector operator should be opsets returned from Opcode functions.
Also, since the number of opcodes in your current version of perl might not be an exact multiple of eight, there may be unused bits in the last byte of an upset. This should not cause any problems (Opcode functions ignore those extra bits) but it does mean that using the ~ operator will typically not produce the same 'physical' opset 'string' as the invert_opset function.
$bool = opset_eq($opset1, $opset2) true if opsets are logically
$yes = opset_can($opset, @ops) true if $opset has all @ops set
@diff = opset_diff($opset1, $opset2) => ('foo', '!bar', ...)

methstart initfield
These memory related ops are not included in :base_core because they can easily be used to implement a resource attack (e.g., consume all available memory).
concat multiconcat repeat join range
anonlist anonhash
Note that despite the existence of this optag a memory resource attack may still be possible using only :base_core ops.
Disabling these ops is a very heavy handed way to attempt to prevent a memory resource attack. It's probable that a specific memory limit mechanism will be added to perl in the near future.
These loop ops are not included in :base_core because they can easily be used to implement a resource attack (e.g., consume all available CPU time).
grepstart grepwhile
mapstart mapwhile
enteriter iter
enterloop leaveloop unstack
last next redo
These ops enable filehandle (rather than filename) based input and output. These are safe on the assumption that only pre-existing filehandles are available for use. Usually, to create new filehandles other ops such as open would need to be enabled, if you don't take into account the magical open of ARGV.

ceil floor
These ops are not included in :base_core because of the risk of them being used to generate floating point exceptions (which would have to be caught using a $SIG{FPE} handler).
atan2 sin cos exp log sqrt
These ops are not included in :base_core because they have an effect beyond the scope of the compartment.
rand srand
These ops are related to multi-threading.
A handy tag name for a reasonable default set of ops. (The current ops allowed are unstable while development continues. It will change.)
:base_core :base_mem :base_loop :base_orig :base_thread
This list used to contain :base_io prior to Opcode 1.07.
If safety matters to you (and why else would you be using the Opcode module?) then you should not rely on the definition of this, or indeed any other, optag!

gsbyname gsbyport gservent sservent eservent -- services
gpwnam gpwuid gpwent spwent epwent getlogin -- users
ggrnam ggrgid ggrent sgrent egrent -- groups
A handy tag name for a reasonable default set of ops beyond the :default optag. Like :default (and indeed all the other optags) its current definition is unstable while development continues. It will change.
The :browse tag represents the next step beyond :default. It is a superset of the :default ops and adds :filesys_read the :sys_db. The intent being that scripts can access more (possibly sensitive) information about your system but not be able to change it.
:default :filesys_read :sys_db
sysopen open close
umask binmode
open_dir closedir -- other dir ops are in :base_io
link unlink rename symlink truncate
mkdir rmdir
utime chmod chown
fcntl -- not strictly filesys related, but possibly as
backtick system
wait waitpid
glob -- access to Cshell via <`rm *`>
exec exit kill
time tms -- could be used for timing attacks (paranoid?)
This tag holds groups of assorted specialist opcodes that don't warrant having optags defined for them.
SystemV Interprocess Communications:
msgctl msgget msgrcv msgsnd
semctl semget semop
shmctl shmget shmread shmwrite
This tag holds opcodes related to loading modules and getting information about calling environment and args.
require dofile
caller runcv classname
flock ioctl
socket getpeername ssockopt
bind connect listen accept shutdown gsockopt getsockname
sleep alarm -- changes global timer state and signal handling
sort -- assorted problems including core dumps
tied -- can be used to access object implementing a tie
pack unpack -- can be used to create/use memory pointers
hintseval -- constant op holding eval hints
entereval -- can be used to hide code from initial compile
dbstate -- perl -d version of nextstate(ment) opcode
This tag is simply a bucket for opcodes that are unlikely to be used via a tag name but need to be tagged for completeness and documentation.
syscall dump chroot
ops -- perl pragma interface to Opcode module.
Safe -- Opcode and namespace limited execution compartments
Originally designed and implemented by Malcolm Beattie, email@example.com as part of Safe version 1.
Split out from Safe module version 1, named opcode tags and other changes added by Tim Bunce.

Also, carpet cleaning increases the selling value of the property.

One square metre of carpet is capable of holding nearly a pound of dry dirt without appearing to be dirty at all.

This website is a continuing effort to stay in touch with the community we serve. We have revised our menu selection to include many items that we think will be helpful to our residents and visitors to Stony Point. Please take some time to review our new site. If there is something that you think could be improved upon, let us know. We will be reviewing your input and making changes where appropriate.
The Stony Point Police Department is currently operating at a strength of twenty-seven full-time officers and three part-time officers. In 2022 the School Resource Officer (SRO) program was reimplemented, with the North Rockland Central School District and Town of Stony Point Town Board support, and an officer was assigned full-time to our schools. We are supplemented by one full-time and two part-time clerical staff. We are charged with providing law enforcement service for the Town of Stony Point, an area of over twenty square miles. We are a full- service agency that has practiced, "Community Policing" since our inception in 1967.
Our most visible asset is our uniform force that patrols our Township, around the clock, in our recently re-designed black & silver patrol cars. In addition to patrol coverage, the uniform force supports our Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit, Child Safety Seat program and our Crime Prevention Program.
Our Detective Bureau compliments our uniform force by providing highly trained and seasoned Detectives who are adept at criminal investigations. In addition to their normal cases, the Detective Bureau conducts our Neighborhood Watch, Operation Safeguard and Operation Smart Sales programs.
Our Youth Bureau provides specialized investigation on all cases involving our community's youth. Our Youth Officer is also responsible for our Youth Court, Police Athletic League, Youth Police Academy and Community Service Programs. The Youth Bureau works in conjunction with the Uniform Force and the Detective Bureau and to insure the safety of our youth.
Our agency also participates in "shared services" programs such as Rockland Regional Rescue, Entry and Counterterrorism Team (REACT). Participation in programs such as these allows our agency to provide specialized services to our residents that otherwise might not be possible due to personnel and fiscal constraints.
The men and women of the Stony Point Police Department take great pride in providing our community with a high level of police service. Their hard work and dedication is evidenced by our community having one of the lowest crime rates for a Township our size in New York State. However, a great deal of what our agency can accomplish is dependant on community participation. We rely on our citizens to be our eyes and ears and to report suspicious activity as it is observed.
Working in partnership with our residents will insure that Stony Point remains a safe community in the future. For the most updated information on activities related to the Stony Point Police Department in our community, please visit/follow us on social media – Facebook @StonyPointPoliceDepartment , Instagram & Twitter @StonyPointPD.

In the U.S., Thanksgiving marks the unofficial start of the race to Christmas (unless you happen to decorate department stores, then it starts in October). But in Denmark, the Christmas race starts tonight.
J-Day, as its known, is the momentous occasion when at exactly 8:59 p.m. on the first Friday of November, the 140-year old Tuborg Brewery releases Julebryg (Christmas Brew), the high-octane libation that will fuel most holiday festivities in the country for the next six weeks. And then it's gone.
Despite having such a short lifespan, this strong, dark pilsner (5.6 percent alcohol by volume) with aromas of "licorice and black currant" is Denmark's fourth best selling beer, and J-Day is far and away the biggest day of the year for Tuborg, which is now owned by the Carlsberg Group. When "the snow falls tonight," as the slogan goes, Danes will pack the bars and spill into the streets. They'll sing and dance and wear silly hats provided free from Tuborg, all for the chance to get a first taste and welcome the season with a hardy "Skål!"
What's unusual is that this national tradition came about because of a commercial — a single TV ad that ran for the first time in 1980, and has been running ever since. "It's probably the only ad in the world that hasn't changed in 30 years," says Carlsberg's Jens Bekke. Check it out below.
The ad was for regular old Tuborg pilsner, but everyone loved it so much, that the company decided to ride the wave of enthusiasm all the way to the creation of a new product. The rest is history. I ask Bekke if there's anything new about the beer or its celebration this year and he just chuckles. "We have to be careful. Danes love tradition. They would react very badly if we changed much."
Talk about an advertising executive's dream.
Here's how J-Day works: As Julebryg begins to flow from the taps, blue-clad Tuborg elves will make their merry way to some 450 locations throughout the country, handing out two or three cases of free beer at each. That's about 25,000 bottles, plus an incredible array of blue-themed merchandise. It's probably a small price for the company to pay for the resulting intense brand loyalty.
And, boy, are these Danes loyal. That 8:59 p.m. kickoff? It's for real. Bekke admits there are sometimes problems with establishments trying to tap the kegs a little early. But they generally get ratted out by their customers and put on Tuborg's black list, which means next year, no Julebryg until the day after it's released. Yikes.
Jacob Lyby, a bar manager at the Fox and Hounds in the town of Herning, says tonight his bar will do twice the business of a normal Friday. But it's not the number one sales day "because it starts early and people get drunk quickly and go home." But, he says, "it's definitely a fun evening."
To understand just how big a deal this day is, consider one more historical tidbit. Until 1999, the Tuborg beer snowstorm let loose on the second Wednesday of November at 11:59 p.m. With a not-very strictly enforced drinking age of 18, it's not hard to imagine what most high school classrooms and offices may have looked like on the second Thursday of November. So in 1999, Tuborg took the nation's well-being to heart and made the switch to the first Friday of the month.
It's hard to imagine any other populace expressing quite the same almost-ubiquitous pride in a single brand. But Bekke says J-Day is spreading. It's been celebrated in Serbia now for several years, and last year, a handful of Swedish cities toasted along with their neighbors.
Alas, the brew is not yet available in the U.S. But someday it could be, if there's enough demand. Bekke says on Tuesday, Tuborg will be placing a full-page mystery ad in several Danish papers that has something to do with both the U.S. election and Julebryg, so stay tuned.
