Puppy on Palm Devices
Hello Guys, somebody known about adapting Puppy to Palm devices? particularly those that are based on ARM processors.
I have a Palm T5 and the Palm OS is very old, as well as the app's, I know, i can buy a new device but, revive my T5, would be great.
Puppy is a powerfull tool to revive old devices.

Yes but they are ARM. Debian can do such if you know Debian very deeply that is.
One guy from Italy has written a cross copiler for TCL and maybe you can learn from him how to do it for Puppy. Use the search and you see a lot of threads about ARM and Puppy here and that none such exists and most likely never will???
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I am sorry but I don't understand the purpose of the initial question and hence of the thread. What are your goals? Do you want to run Linux software on your Palm? Or do you want to run your old Palm software?
The two questions don't have identical answers. Say you want to run Linux software built for a screen, which is at least the size of a netbook and you want to do that on a Palm Pilot with a much smaller screen. And furthermore, you want to keep the low battery consumption assured by the Palm OS. So you just can't re-compile the Puppy Linux OS components for the Arm CPU - you have to worry about the screen size issue and the battery consumption - two non-trivial issues.
As to running the old Palm Pilot software on a Linux OS, you are looking at building an emulator for the Palm machine. Again this is a non-trivial undertaking.
I think your quest entails a lot of wishful thinking for hardware that I personally think is poorly built and prone to failure. At least that has been my experience with the two Palm Pilots I owned. I still have my two HP Omnigo 100's (and they still work) but the two Palm Pilots I bought that are not as old are both POC's.
BTW, both undertakings were done, the first by Nokia the second by Garnet (Palm successor) for the Nokia Internet tablets and the result was that you couldn't just use the standard packages for Debian Arm, but had to use specially constructed packages to ensure that the battery would not run down and the screen size was adjusted. Also the emulator like WINE is free but not 100%. Some Palm apps don't run.

A good question and interesting.
Puppy is developed for the intel HW platform
There have been question in the same sense for puppy's on power PC and other HW platforms.
The answer has been always, that altho technical possible Puppy as known today don't run on those other platforms.
As nooby says, other linux flavors have developments for other HW platforms and thus there is a technical possibility to develop a 'puppy' for the ARM processor.
But I don't know if there is a developer here interested to do so.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).
Consult Wikka
Use peppyy's

Thanks Beem
Some say it is easy and some say it is not that easy at all.
We will not know until somebody actually make one and retell if it was that easy or if it was something them had to put in 24/7 for weeks or months to accomplish.
I know too little to even guess whom get it right. But being a true pessimist I trust it to be very difficult or else somebody had already done it just for the sake of curiousness.

My question is likely not the same as the OPs.
I just want to use my Palm T|X to run the apps that exist,
so I'd just want to transfer prc programs and other files to the device.
The device also interfaces with SD, so I could probably transfer data files that way, but not prc files? I'm not really sure, just wondering about the capabilities.
I could always keep my copy of Windows kicking around to run that wee 'sync' utility...

Speaking for myself, I can't wait to see John Galt's 100-page soliloquy on screen, a pleasure that should be heading our way in, what? Twelve months? Eighteen?
Samantha Mathis as Dagny Taggart adds some gravitas to the second in the Atlas Shrugged series – Atlas Shrugged II: Either-Or – and director John Putch (the 2005 Poseidon Adventure, The Book of Love) keeps the story moving right along. Some of the aesthetic choices are kind of weird (what were they thinking with the cut of that silver evening gown on Mathis? And why the Boyz-in-the-Hood slow-mo with the Taggart Transcontinental board sauntering down the corridor?), but overall, the action is peppy and interest-keeping.
I had two strong impressions, however, watching the film yesterday. One was quite simple: this should have been done as a TV miniseries. Ending with cliffhangers is just tacky for theater fare. (Changing out the lead actors between Parts is hard to overcome as well. Hank Rearden was Grant Bowler but is now Jason Beghe – another change for the better, in my view, but it's still jarring. And where was Esai Morales when we needed him for Francisco D'Anconia in Part I?)
The writers (Duke Sandefur, Brian Patrick O'Toole, and Duncan Scott) tried to square the circle on the cliffhanger problem – Dagny pilots her plane into John Galt's mountain redoubt, and Part II ends with his face in shadow as he pulls her out of the wreckage – by making it a story resolution previsaged in the movie's opening sequence. But, naahh, it's still a cliffhanger, and it belongs in a cable miniseries. I'm seeing six episodes and endless cult fascination.
The other problem is harder to solve. The similarities between the US federal government of 2012 and its fictional doppelganger in Ayn Rand's 1957 novel are – who knew this would be weird – too obvious. The tanking economy of Atlas Shrugged hits too close to home. What you sit there thinking is not so much that Rand wrote prophetically as that the trappings of her fictional world are outdated and a tad annoying.
It's as if someone had made – in 1942 – a movie of the Homer Lea geopolitical classic The Valor of Ignorance, which in 1909 prophesied a war between the US and Japan, starting with a sneak attack across the Pacific. Had such a movie been made in 1929, it would have been appreciated later on, and perhaps become a minor classic. But in 1942, post-Pearl Harbor audiences would have seen little point in creating a fictional story to compete with the real one.
An Atlas Shrugged made – faithfully to the novel – as a 1970s miniseries would no doubt be beloved of Rand fans today, and would figure in YouTube clips as a clincher to libertarian and conservative arguments across the infosphere.
Trying to set the story in the present day, with tablet PCs and ubiquitous information screens dotting the landscape, just highlights the incongruity of plot elements like railroads and steel – and in particular, the conundrum of the "motor of the world" device, which comes off in II as laughably silly. With all that information at their fingertips, the remaining Great Brains of Fair Share America can't, like, do some web searches?
One scene is especially poignant. At the Unification Board hearing on Hank Rearden's unauthorized shipment of Rearden metal to coal magnate Ken Danagger (Arye Gross), the scene is staged much like a 1930s show-trial, with sanctimonious officials presiding and a chamber full of press and people forming judgments as they watch.
But the theater of 20th-century collectivism has never figured on the American political scene, and it doesn't today. The real inroads of ideological collectivism on America have been made more sedulously and incrementally, in the most banal and uninteresting ways, with some industries sued into co-dependence here, and some silent job-killing over there. Today's industrial titan faces less the public calumny of show-trial tribunals than the disdain of bureaucrats. The latter never approach their real goal head-on, but instead administer death to the titan's bottom line by a thousand tangential cuts.
Ayn Rand's ideas were formed by Sovietism, and ultimately, it would take a lot more editing to make Atlas Shrugged stand outside of its time on screen. Americans saw the cartoonish bluntness of Sovietism coming; it was making the rule of law available for service to ideological arbitrariness that few recognized as a great threat 40 or 50 years ago. That's hard to capture in film, but the difference between that reality and Rand's more dramatic vision of the collectivist threat lurks over the Atlas Shrugged movies like an unanswered doorbell.
One acting note: Samantha Mathis does as well with Dagny Taggart as I think anyone could. It's hard to stride, Taggart-style, without looking like you're prancing or huffing, but Mathis brings it off. One does wonder about the Taggart Central railroad control crew, which is so pathetically unable to function if she's not there. Who's training these people, and what are the standards? Kind of an unintentional Leadership 101 moment.

Though her favorite part of the day is making her customers smile, there are a few of them that Dana Mason has never even seen.
"I have a few customers that just trust me," she said outside the Manhattan tennis store last week. "I have a customer in Chicago that has never even been in the store. I just know what she likes and we ship out boxes. She never sends anything back."
Dana is VP of Mason's Tennis Mart, one the few tennis goods stores in New York City, and a primary destination for U.S. Open products this year.
According to Dana, the Open brought "absolute insanity" to the store, but the place itself has been humming for the past 35 years, thanks to Dana's father, Mark, who first opened the shop in Manhattan's Upper West Side.
The boutique now sits comfortably in Midtown on the east side, just south of where many affluent New Yorkers live, and just north of many corporate offices, where Dana says many of her customers work.
"This is a perfect location for us," she said, eyeing the store as midday traffic zips through the doors.
While her dad might be the tennis guru in the family business, Dana has always had an eye for fashion. As a young girl, she would hang around the store, but said her interest lay mostly in the clothes.
When her dad brought her on as a buyer seven years ago, Dana flourished in the position.
"I'm so lucky that my dad brought me into the business," Dana said. "Picking out merchandise for the store and watching it come off the shelves, I love that. Those are my picks, and I love when the customers love them."
Dana knows her tennis fashion: from Fred Perry to Fila, adidas, Nike, and Polo Ralph Lauren, Dana has dealt with the big guns of the tennis fashion world.
Which isn't to say that this is all fun and games. Her biggest frustration?
"Not getting the players outfits! I can't tell you how many people come in wanting Sharapova's dress or Roger's jackets. But those things just aren't available. It makes me sad!"
Read more about Dana's picks for what's next in tennis fashion, who shops Mason's and her tennis DON'T for on-court fashion. (more…)

Algemeen Emeritaatsfonds voor Doopsgezinde Leeraren (Netherlands)
The Algemeen Emeritaatsfonds voor Doopsgezinde Leeraren (General Fund for the Retirement of Mennonite Ministers) was founded 24 October 1848 and began its work 1 January 1849. The instigation came from the Mennonite pastors in the Zaanstreek, a district near Amsterdam, where there have always been many Mennonites and where there are many congregations. The office of the fund therefore was located in Zaandam. The purpose of the fund is to secure a pension to all pastors who were members, to take effect at the age of 65. In case of disability it was paid earlier. For these two distinct types of cases there were two separate funds; besides this there was a reserve fund in Amsterdam that was endowed by members of the Amsterdam church. The annually required funds were secured from interest on the capital and collections taken in the churches. Not only the ministers were members, but in most cases also the congregations. In this case the congregation paid two-thirds of the annual assessment and its minister one-third. With the exception of the churches in Friesland, which had their own retirement fund, and three other churches, all the Mennonite churches in the Netherlands were members of the Emeritaatsfonds in the 1950s . The Mennonite ministers in Friesland were also practically all members, as were also several congregations and ministers in Germany up to World War II. At the end of 1912 the fund had 117 contributing ministers and 18 pensioners; in addition, 80 Mennonite congregations belonged to the organization. The benevolent effect of the fund can be visualized by considering past achievements; in the first 50 years of its existence it was able to pay out 322,071 guilders to 67 retired ministers. -- JGB
Notwithstanding the blessing the fund brought, the administration had to contend with continued anxieties because the financial basis was too weak. In 1928 it was evident that the funds in the future would not be adequate for the requirements; therefore it was decided that the pensionable age would be raised from 65 to 67 years, and that the obligations for old-age insurance should be assumed by the Algemeene Friesche Levensverzekeringsmaatschappij. By means of these measures the fund again became sound, and in 1937 it was possible to change the eligible age back from 67 to 65 years. In 1943 the fund was closed, that is, from that date no new applicants were accepted. Finally, at the meeting of 5 October 1948, at which time the centennial of the organization was commemorated, the members decided to transfer further responsibility for administration to the Algemeene Pensionstichting der Algemeene Doopsgezinde Sociëteit (ADS) The Zaanse Fonds, as the Algemeen Emeritaatsfonds for Mennonite ministers was usually called, had completed its course. -- NvdZ

The Chicago Curling Club, organized in 1948, recently celebrated our 70th anniversary. We are a membership organization centered around curling. The club is recognized as one of the finest curling facilities of its size, with four sheets of ice, locker rooms, a full-equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a large social area.
Curling at the Chicago Curling Club encourages skill development for beginning, intermediate, and advanced curlers. There are men's, women's, mixed, senior, novice, and open events. Generally, an event includes one game per week for a set number of weeks. Many events are offered throughout the curling season; in fact, full members of the club can curl almost every day or evening. Curlers may also participate in "bonspiels," multi-game tournaments held throughout a curling season by all curling clubs, including Chicago.
It isn't just the sport that makes curling attractive. After a game, curlers engage in the traditional "broomstacking," a period for socializing with teammates and opponents. Beyond broomstacking, curlers at Chicago enjoy parties throughout the year, including a summer Cornspiel, golf outing, and the traditional celebrations marking the opening and closing of the curling season.
The curling season begins in October and ends in March, about the time that curlers are hoping to see those first flowers spring from the thawing soil!
As with all sports, it's the players that make the game, and the members of the Chicago Curling Club have created a warm and welcoming place where you can enjoy a competitive sport and make and expand friendships.

Zach Johnson takes 1-shot lead over Tiger
AP Golf Writer
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) – Tiger Woods lost his three-shot margin with every shot that looked good until the wind decided otherwise. He lost his lead Saturday in the Chevron World Challenge because of something that was really out of his control.
Zach Johnson was 163 yards away in the 18th fairway, one shot behind and hopeful of getting his 7-iron onto the top shelf to make par as easy as possible. Imagine his surprise when it landed near the hole and hopped back into the cup for an eagle that put him atop the leaderboard.
"I would have been happy with a 4, let alone a 3," Johnson said. "A 2 is a steal."
That eagle gave him a 4-under 68, allowing him to make up a four-shot deficit on Woods and take a one-shot lead into the final round of the final official event this year in America.
Woods had three bogeys on the par 5s and didn't feel as though he did much wrong. On two of them, he hit wedges that looked good until the cool, gusting wind shifted directions and sent the ball much farther than he imagined. On the other par 5, his fairway metal hit a gust and dropped into a hazard.
The result was a 1-over 73. The prognosis wasn't nearly as bad.
"Even though I made three bogeys on par 5s, I had two three-putts, but I played well," Woods said. "I hit a lot of good shots that ended up in bad spots because I had bad gusts. So be it. That's the way it goes.
"I'm right there with a chance going into tomorrow."
Johnson was at 8-under 208 and will be in the final group with Woods, one shot behind. K.J. Choi overcame a double bogey on the par-5 second hole for a 72 and was three shots out of the lead. No one else was closer than five.
Woods had the 36-hole lead for the second straight tournament, and for the second straight time failed to break par in the third round. He felt differently Saturday than he did at the Australian Open in Sydney, where he opened with three straight bogeys and finished the day six shots out of the lead.
"Most of the time today, it wasn't me," Woods said. "I hit a lot of good shots today."
The wind was strong and chilly from the start, and rarely stayed the same direction very long. With a wedge in his hand, Woods went some 40 feet long on the second hole that led to a three-putt bogey. Another wedge on the par-5 13th sailed over the green and left a pitch he had no chance to get close.
Both players ran into trouble on the par-5 16th.
Johnson was playing in the group ahead of Woods, felt the breeze in his face and tried to hammer a driver that went left of the grass and into the gallery. He tried to clear a creek and went into the trees to the right before pitching out and taking a bogey.
Woods was in the fairway, but says a gust took his fairway metal too far right and into a hazard. He thought about trying to hit out behind a pair of rocks before choosing to take a penalty drop, and he also made bogey.
The difference was how they finished.
Johnson three-putted the 17th for another bogey, then drilled his 7-iron at the flag on the 18th for the most unlikely finish to his round. Woods had to settle for pars.
Johnson didn't realize his eagle on the final hole was for the lead. And even though he has a one-shot advantage, he doesn't think he's in contention until the final hour of any tournament.
Being in the last group with Woods, who has gone 26 starts since his last win?
"He's never going to shock me on the golf course because he's certainly the best player I've ever played with," Johnson said. "I'm glad I'm playing this week and I have the opportunity to go into Sunday with at least a chance."
Johnson, a former Masters champion, saw his streak end this year of four straight seasons winning on the PGA Tour. The Chevron World Challenge counts toward the world ranking, but is not official for the tour. He still wouldn't mind using it as a springboard for the next season, much like Tom Lehman did in the early days of this event, and Jim Furyk did in 2009.
For Woods, going from a three-shot lead to a one-shot deficit was not the end of the world.
He felt as though he played as well as he had the first two days, without having much luck with the wind. And for a guy who has gone two years without winning, the hardest part of hoisting a trophy is getting a chance.
Woods still had his three-shot lead when he chipped in from behind the fourth green for birdie. The wind was at its worst on the sixth hole, gusting hard with leaves scattered about the fairway. Woods felt it at his back and to the right, yet as the ball was in the air, it came against him from the left. He came up well short, chipped 7 feet by the hole and lipped out.
Hunter Mahan was the first player to make a run at Woods, going out in 33 and tying for the lead briefly after Woods had a three-putt bogey on the par-3 eighth.
Woods seemed to steady himself with a beautiful flop shot on the 10th that ran up the bank and trickled back 4 feet from the cup, and a solid approach to 18 feet for a two-putt birdie on the 11th.
But he went long of the 13th, turning a birdie hole into a bogey. He made a mess of the 16th with his penalty shot. And he had nothing to match an eagle from the fairway by Johnson on the final hole.

The United States is pressing Israel to help bolster security
forces in the Gaza Strip that are loyal to Palestinian
Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
Major General Keith Dayton, the U.S. security coordinator,
recently discussed the function of the pro-Abbas Presidential
Guard and National Security forces with senior Israeli
The Americans believe that strengthening Abbas loyalists and
deploying them in friction points along the north of the strip
and Philadelphi route in Rafah will eventually improve the
security situation.
Western officials who studied the battle near the Karni
crossing last Tuesday concluded, contrary to the IDF's
assessment, that Abbas' forces had performed well despite
their losses and had succeeded in warding off a larger Hamas
force. They found that Hamas had not won a decisive victory in
the battles in the Strip and urged taking steps to strengthen
the pro-Abbas forces.
A 470-strong Presidential Guard force, which had trained in
Egypt, returned to Gaza last Tuesday via the Rafah crossing.
Defense establishment sources said there was no need to
coordinate the force's entry with Israel as the men were
The defense establishment is undecided about helping to
bolster the pro-Abbas forces and enabling Abbas to pay their
wages. Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh is the main
advocate for helping to strengthen the Abbas loyalists.
"The idea is to change the balance, which so far has leaned in
Hamas' favor. Well-trained [pro-Abbas] forces could help tip
the balance," Sneh told The Washington Post.
"We don't give them operative orders, that's Abbas' business,"
he added.
Defense officials rejected the IDF's evaluation that Abbas and
his forces had lost the battle for control of the Gaza Strip
and there was no point in helping them. The officials said the
IDF was prejudiced against Fatah and its troops' capability,
and that their evaluations were not based on a thorough
examination of the battles.
However, there is also a controversy in the U.S. about the
situation in the PA. Senior White House officials say Abbas'
failure to handle the situation and his keeping away from Gaza
reflect his inadequacy.
The IDF believes that Hamas has a considerable advantage over
Fatah in the confrontation with Fatah in the Gaza Strip.
"Hamas men are trained, equipped and more resolved than their
Fatah counterparts, even if the latter outnumber them in
weapons," an IDF source said.
The source said that senior defense officers identified with
Fatah have taken their families out of the Gaza Strip for fear
Hamas would harm them.
The head of the research division of Military Intelligence,
Brigadier General Yossi Baidatz, on Friday told the diplomatic
corps that the Hamas modus operandi in Gaza was identical to
that developed by Hezbollah in South Lebanon. "Hamas is taking
over Fatah and Abbas' properties and equipment that the
international community is bringing into Gaza," he said in an
intelligence briefing at the Dan Hotel.

good joke - offer more please
The point is that this is an operating system message and is not a Firefox issue.
Moving this to MozillaZine Tech.
Dan. I have never seen this before, it maybe an OS thing but this new FF52 i am using is causing the OS feature to appear, i downloaded a file from the same website & when i download with FF21 this OS security feature does not appear. I have always used FF & due to new features added to FF i have stuck with FF21 but am coming across websites now that do not work, i tried FF57 but it does nothing, wont start. I will continue to use FF21 for as long as possible as i will continue to use WinXP as long as possible for the same reasons i still use FF21.
If FF21 does not tag downloaded files like this & FF52 does then it is definately a security feature in FF52, i will ask again, is there a way to stop FF52 from tagging downloaded files, is it hardcoded or is there an about:config setting i can change.
You can't use the most current versions of Firefox (57, 58, and now 59) because you're running an obsolete operating system in Windows XP. Version 52.x ESR is the last that will run under XP. Running version 21 or any other older version is putting you at significant risk due to all of the security fixes that have been built into more recent versions of the browser. I believe you might be fighting one of those security updates with the Windows security and privacy settings you've chosen and don't know of any config setting to change that.
Thankyou Dan for the info.
Is Ye Alreet
There was an about:config entry called "browser.download.saveZoneInformation", that could be set to false to prevent this behaviour. However, I forget which versions of Firefox this works on, so it may or may not work for you.

Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn it from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Joshua 1:7
The Lord not only told Joshua to be courageous, but very courageous. I wonder if the Lord added the emphasis of an adverb before the adjective "courageous" because of Joshua's extreme circumstances? His new job was to lead two million people into a new land and conquer it. Even though Joshua had grown to be a strong leader from assisting Moses for many years, I can imagine he may have felt extremely challenged for this upcoming new adventure!
But Joshua did not hesitate, did not measure the pros and cons, or run to his friends for advise. Instead, he ordered and directed the people to ready themselves for their journey to cross the Jordan, to the land the Lord was giving to them. While directing their next steps, Joshua reminded the people of Moses commands and the Lord's promises, and the people obeyed their leader knowing they were also being faithful to God's plan. And they too, encouraged Joshua to "be strong and courageous!" (v.18)
When facing new challenges, I can be very hesitant to take the next step. I want to be very sure so the outcome will be successful, on my terms. I can measure my success by my circle of influence expanding, or my finances increasing, or by the amount of 'likes' I'm receiving. Yet, unlike the worldly definition of success, success in God's eyes is for us to be strong and very courageous through obeying and following His word. It's being faithful to His plan for our lives. He directs us when we turn toward Him. And then we can rest in His promise that we will be successful wherever we go.
Lord, thank You for always being with me and directing my way. Even though my situations can get tough, and challenging, I know you are with me. May I always keep my eyes on You, may I always turn to You, for when I do life with You, I will be successful in Your eyes wherever I go. Amen
And may the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
Where might God be saying to you 'be very courageous and strong?'

Kevin Cleeves was trying to contact his wife Friday to make arrangements to pick up his daughter Leia, but she didn't answer the phone, so he went to a home in Quincy Township, the (Waynesboro) Record-Herald reported, citing court records.
Police said Cleeves, 35, found a woman and a man sitting in a car and began arguing with them, then was ordered to leave. He then shot to death both of them as well as another woman and took the girl, authorities alleged.
An Amber Alert was issued Friday night but was canceled hours later, on Saturday, after the pair were found in Austintown in northeastern Ohio, outside Youngstown. Police said the child was unharmed and Cleeves was arrested without incident.
"His 4-year-old daughter was located in the vehicle and was unharmed," police said in a statement.
Austintown police said the vehicle had been spotted in a parking lot of a hotel off Interstate 80 and was later stopped in the parking lot of the Weston Plaza on Route 46, where Cleeves was arrested.
Cleeves was charged with three counts of criminal homicide Saturday in the deaths in Quincy Township, Pa., according to online court records. In the Amber Alert, authorities had said that Cleeves should be considered "armed and dangerous as well as suicidal."
Pennsylvania Trooper Adam Reed would not disclose the names of the three victims. He said more information about the deaths and their relationship to Cleeves would be released later. Court records did not list an attorney for Cleeves.
A detective with the Austintown Township police department in Ohio told The (Chambersburg) Public Opinion that Cleeves was in jail in Mahoning County awaiting an extradition hearing, scheduled for Monday.

Looming federal budget cuts the nation faces in January could strike a body blow to Maryland's economy, taking $2.5 billion in personal income out of residents' pockets and crimping social programs in health and human services, education, and workforce development, according to a recent state report and interviews with regional economists.
In a memo to Gov. Martin O'Malley last week, the state Department of Budget and Management wrote that the cuts would reduce federal grants to state and local governments by about $150 million; cut defense and civilian jobs in Maryland by at least 12,600; and ultimately decrease annual tax revenues to the state by $200 million.
"Those defense agency people, when they cut back their spending, the first thing they cut back is going out to dinner," said Daraius Irani, director of the Regional Economic Studies Institute at Towson University. "Those busboys and waiters might be living on the margins already."
While much of the attention has been focused on the impact of spending cuts on defense contractors, myriad social services for the poor, for education and for workforce development also would be affected.
Most federal agencies would face an automatic budget reduction of 10 percent.
A broad range of agencies and groups — from the Pentagon and defense contractors to social service providers — have made the case on Capitol Hill that the so-called "sequestration" would damage the economy. Maryland is particularly vulnerable, with 5.6 percent of jobs in the state tied directly to the federal government — or more than double the national average of 2.2 percent.
While some lawmakers are trying to rescind the cuts, other observers call the sequestration a wake-up call for Maryland, with its heavy reliance on federal spending.
Maryland is expected to receive $9.3 billion in federal funding in the next fiscal year, making the $150 million worth of cuts only about 2 percent of the total.
But the cuts would have an impact on the poor and sick, young children, and the under-employed or unemployed.
For instance, $7 million from the state's Head Start early-childhood learning program would be eliminated, resulting in the loss of 233 jobs and denial of service to more than 1,100 children, according to a state-by-state analysis of sequestration cuts in July by Sen. Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat who chairs the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education.
Nadine Owens Burton, acting executive director of the Maryland Head Start Association, said in Prince George's County, the program serves 932 children, but has identified more than 3,000 children in poverty who would benefit from the service.
"The impact of sequestration would be powerful," Burton said in an email. "Their funded enrollment would be significantly reduced and thus even [fewer] children would be served."
Other cuts would include:
•$920,000 from HIV prevention and testing, with 23,000 fewer people tested.
•$4.3 million from the low-income home energy assistance program.
•$2.5 million from substance abuse treatment, with 3,560 fewer admissions to programs.
•$15.4 million in education grants to local schools, with 212 jobs lost and 13,000 fewer students served.
•$3.2 million to Job Corps, with 102 fewer at-risk youth served.
The region — spanning from Maryland through Washington to Virginia — is particularly reliant on the federal government. It accounts for 21 percent of federal spending on civilian payrolls and procurement, but has 9 percent of the U.S. population, said Stephen Fuller, director of George Mason University's Center for Regional Analysis in Alexandria, Va.
Fuller called the threat of sequestration a "reality check" for the Maryland economy, which has grown to depend on federal spending over the last decade and needs to diversify.
"Maryland is in a good position to reposition its economy for the future," said Fuller, who issued a report in July documenting the potential impact of the cuts on the U.S. economy. "The handwriting is on the wall; it needs to do this."
In Fuller's report, he found that the sequester would reduce the nation's gross domestic product by $215 billion, decrease personal earnings of the workforce by $109.4 billion and cost the U.S. economy 2.14 million jobs. Maryland would be the fifth-hardest-hit state, losing as many as 114,000 defense and civilian jobs, according to Fuller's analysis.
The back story on the sequester can be found on Capitol Hill.
The sequestration measure was included in last year's Budget Control Act to compel the president and Congress to act to resolve the budget crisis by the end of this year. Congress approved the sequester last year to pressure the so-called supercommittee created by the act to reach a budget deal.
But the panel never came close to an agreement, and now Republicans and some Democrats are pressing to rescind the automatic cuts.
The deal called for $1.2 trillion in cuts that would apply to mandatory and discretionary spending from next year through 2021, with exceptions or limited reductions for Social Security, Medicaid, federal and military employee pay, and veterans and Medicare benefits.
But with a presidential election in early November, many worry that Congress and President Barack Obama won't find a way to compromise on balancing the budget. There's a possibility that thousands of federal workers and defense contractors could get pink slips just days before the election, in order for companies and agencies to comply with the federal WARN notification requirement for mass layoffs.
Towson's Irani said uncertainty and brinksmanship are slowing down the U.S. economy. Already, he said, defense contractors have slowed or stopped hiring in Maryland because they are unsure of what might happen on Jan. 2, when the cuts are supposed to take effect.
Richard Clinch, director of economic research for the Jacob France Institute at the University of Baltimore, said Maryland has benefited from federal spending for years. He estimated two years ago that as many as one in five jobs in the state were tied directly or indirectly to federal government spending.
"This thing that has protected the Maryland economy for 20 years now is coming back to bite us," Clinch said. "This whole idea of federal downsizing, which is inevitable, will have a much bigger impact on Maryland in the future."
Effect on Md.
The potential impact on Maryland if automatic federal budget cuts go into effect in January:
•$2.5 billion losses in wages and salaries from defense, civilian and contractor workforce
•12,600 lost jobs and potentially more than 100,000 in coming years
•$200 million annual revenue losses for state government from lower tax receipts
•$150 million reduction in federal funding to state and local governments.

as far as the multiple scans go it seemed like it was groups of fragments in an area were one thing but if you went and found that same fragment type elsewhere it counted over from the beginning almost like groups of the same type of fragment in different locations counted as seperate items but overwrote eachothers progress. wondering if maybe its because some fragments are hold over from an earlier build while others are freshly coded , but im no expert thats just what makes sense in my brain

Haxis Members Join Date: 2017-11-08 Member: 233890Posts: 1 Freshly registered userI changed the language, but now it won't go back to English. Can't go left and right through the list, can only press A to cycle through (playing on Xbox). But it just cycles through a bunch of very similar looking Asian(?) languages and also Vietnamese and Irish.
EDIT: no, I was wrong. I had switched the language and that made the list appear in that language (which I still don't know what it was). Fixed it by chance by changing to another language that had a familiar name for English.
Perhaps the list should always display in their respective languages? ie "English, Francais, Espanol, etc."?
Nice that the save bug has been addressed, thanks devs . but lately whilst playng three things keep occurring. first rendering and lag always happen if I play for long periods second you can't have to many objest or framerate drops or game freezes. for long periods and last while in prawn suit I sometimes fall through the sea floor!! the last one has happened. more frequently these past few days
!! thank devs for all help and still loving the game... cheers

* Ok, not 'never'... Once I discovered the ILZ I started crashing a bit. It's super laggy, so I figured it was blowing out the memory or something. But, I never crashed before finding the ILZ, in many hours of play.
Now I crash screwing around in the shallows, or wherever... This is new.

if i have listed already listed bugs from other people i am sorry.
Major bugs,
Drawing distance to slow to render. I.e traveling in the Cyclops and running into Floors and walls that take 5-10 seconds to appear.
Dammaging the Cyclops in the process.
The cyclops Copit room to the middle sub bay the doorway appears blocked, there is no way to access the area unless you go down to go up. This does not happen all the time, only in certain parts of the SEA.
The Cyclops does not show all dammage to the exterior of the sub, when attacked the dammage is recorded by the AI computer after repairing all that is visual to the exterior dammage, inside the sub, water is still ventin, showing dammage. But its not be seen to repire, i have a cyclops that has several venting holes that cannot be repired.
Plants and other matter clipping into the Seamoth,Prawn,cyclops, some preventing movment
That is the main issues i face atm.
since the last patch the game crashes if I play for long periods!! this never happened before? and game freezes every now and for about ten seconds, the continues. for a few minutes then does it again? plase look into it devs... otherwise. loving the game as always

The data download in the large wreck in the Dunes and the blueprint cache in the large wreck in the Red Grass near life pod 6 (I think) come to mind.

After the up date it seems to have gotten worse. Also after the up date, I had 12 storage chests of resources in the water outside the base, They were all full and now they are all empty. I tried to reload it several times and nothing changed. The resources that were in the escape pod remained the same but any not in the pod were removed from storage.

Syd Mead gave a wonderful lecture at the Society last night. (A great event made even better for the fact that I didn't have to do anything for it!)
Mead is a very relaxed and eloquent speaker. He started off with a few childhood drawings. His love of cars was evident back when he was in single digits. Out of college, he worked for Ford designing speculative cars. Then he moved on to show some amazingly opulent designs that he created for various Middle Eastern kings' airplanes, luxury yachts, etc. My favorite part of the lecture, of course, was him taking us through the Bladerunner world, including a bunch of scenes that never made it into the film. Unfortunately he did not go into any of the other films he worked on. He did show a lot of personal work -- scenarios with future cars, moving villages, luxury space travel.
He mostly showed his gouache paintings, but he did show some very complicated line drawings -- explosions of solid black lines. (I'm kicking myself for not getting a shot of one.) It was amazing to then see the color final and how much sense he could make of that drawing. He often used the word "scenario", he said his leg-up in the concept design world was that he is able to illustrate the design problem within a scene. He kept repeating that he "layers the weird on top of the familiar to make the scenarios believable." This is a good lesson for some younger artists...I often see creatures or ships that are so estranged from anything familiar that's it's hard to relate to it. It was fun to hear all the narratives that Mead had for each element of his paintings....he clearly "lives" in the paintings while he is doing them. As he said, no one need be able to extrapolate all of that from the work, but somehow the thoughtfulness comes through.
A great evening...A great crowd, clearly an adoring crowd. Many of the people there grew up on his vision of the future through the movies he worked on. I heard a few working artists in attendance say how depressed they now are...depressed with a smile.

There is no longer room in my world for doubt and skepticism....i have had some awesome and life changing experiences...so many that I've lost count....and then there are folks like my son in law who have never had one incident and will more than likely never believe....i wish he'd have just one so i could say "told ya"
Posted 24 July 2014 - 07:37 AM
I'm skeptical of peronal experiences, not the existence.
There's nothing like a personal experience to change one's mind, but the skepticism is understandable; it's either faith or experience.
Posted 27 July 2014 - 08:48 PM
I guess it's easier to believe someone is "Nuts" than it is to swallow ones ego and realize that just maybe you might be wrong.I'm not skeptical of experiences since I have had my own.....but i do believe we are in a bit of a ghost hysteria phase in this country....it's socially acceptable now in most circles...and in fact popular.I'd say at least 70% is bogus or misdiagnosed ...for lack of a better word.Suddenly everyone is either a medium or an investigator......and yet who are we to say otherwise. I believe everyone has the potential to be sensitive to the spirit world....but it does take an open mind....and there are some folks who are troubled and dramatic for whatever reason...I try very very hard to keep an open mind about other folks and there beliefs and practices. I remind myself that if Jesus himself walked the earth now....he would probably be treated very poorly indeed..he would'nt dress in the big labels or drive the hottest new car...he'd probably be a total outcast......when i think this...my own judgemental attitude adjusts naturally and I am able to step back and allow each person their voice.If a person seems to really want the experience they may read a lot into it...on the other hand if a person seems to really want the experience...well ...be careful what you wish for because an entity can pick up on that pretty fast. its 6 of one and half a dozen of the other and by golly if It's Jesus I don't want to miss him.

I tend to agree, we are hyper-paranormal these days. Too many are willing to jump straight to a paranormal explanation before even attempting to find a rational one. I have been in this field since the mid 1970s and have seen quite a few things that might well be paranormal. But I have seen many more which with a bit of logic can be explained very easily. And I have also seen quite a few people who reject the common explanation simply because they want to believe rather than actually have their mystery debunked. It takes all kinds, and in this field you will find all kinds If one were to try to put some numbers to it, I would say about 90% are explained by common events; 5% can't be explained because the case simply lacks sufficient data or contains facts which seem contradictory. But it's that last 5% that makes it all worth while. Those are the cases which have been analyzed and examined sometimes by multiple investigators and still can't be easily explained. They may not all be paranormal but certainly if any cases truly are it will be some in this 5% group.

I find that to be the case as well, CaveRat. I have had many friends and even my oldest son try to force the issue on the validity of evicence. I had to point out to a photographer/high school friend of mine that the image that he took at a cemetery and shot through a chain link fence was actually matrixing caused by the wire mesh of the fence and the flaking bark of a tree from which an apparition was supposedly protruding. Even though he acknowledged my finding, you could tell in his voice that he wasn't 100% in agreement. So people are going to believe what they want either way (believer or skeptic) and in many cases they won't listen to reason. If the explanation is there, I'm not going to adjust my opinion just to make someone feel good about their finding. If it's real, it's real and enjoy the experience; if it's not, then it's not, so move on and quit forcing the issue.
And then, of course, there are the "I don't know WHAT that was..." moments...
I want evidence to be proven to be the real deal without foresaking the truth.
Posted 05 August 2014 - 08:05 PM
I will admit that I have met some pretty outlandish folks with some pretty farfetched claims. most of these turned out to be so obviously explainable that I was actually embarrassed for them.but there will always be folks who think every knock and bump in the night is a spooky creepy thing......and there will always be folks who think pentagrams are portals and so on and so forth.....to them...at the time..it is real.....and that is why I do take the time to hear these people out. I have never met anyone in this arena who just made up a bunch of nonsense to get me there. I've never met a deliberate fake and hope I never do.I dont do all the bells and whistles for that very reason.I think it is very easy to find a "GHOST" if you go hunting one.The mind wants it's way after all....I think a lot of people are drawn in by the excitement of experiencing something seemingly unnatural....It's just like extreme sports...an adrenaline rush for some.When a person is really frightened and is looking for help...(not validation).....Then I'l consider it.
Posted 11 December 2014 - 05:42 PM
I was bored today and checked out my "Strange Stuff" bookmarks and thought... I haven't been to GV in a long while... I'll check it out. Last time I came here, I could find no evidence of past friends I'd made. The place was.. to use an old phrase... as quiet as a tomb. But today I'm finding several threads that peak my interest.. this being one of them.
Must See To Believe is my user name here... I don't really know why I made it up. I am a firm believer of the supernatural / paranormal for the sheer reason that I've had too many experiences of my own to deny the fact that contact with some form of entity has been made.
I used to have a gift... (read my byline to understand it) .. of seeing things, feeling things .. and apparently helping people cross over. One night as I was lying in bed, I woke my husband up and asked him if he could see anything inside the closet... the double bi-fold doors were wide open but the room was dark with little ambient light. He said no but knowing my gift, he asked me what I was seeing. I told him I saw a black figure standing in the closet. The closet was very shallow and the doors almost brushed the hanging clothes when you opened and closed them... but this figure was standing where the clothes should be. I could see the outline of the lighter clothes to the right and left of this figure and I could see the white slelf that the closet bar hung from... but again, this figure stood where the clothes and shelf should be and was completely black... and I was terrified. I lay there and watched it until it finally faded away... I have no idea how long it was there.
The next weeks I thought about it and pondered this gift I had and I prayed that God would remove it from me. I no longer wanted to be able to see such things. And pretty much like the turning off of a light... it was gone.
I've had a few experiences since then: felt someone push me in the middle of my back with one finger... saw a lampshade that was screwed down tightly suddenly tilt as far as it could... saw a chain hanging from a ceiling fan swing wildly as if someone had slapped at it with their hand. All of these experiences were at my dad and stepmother's house which has always been very active. My stepmother was dwelling on one certain argument that she and her mother (who had passed away the year before) had had and was suddenly slapped across her face. My grandfather lived with us for a few months and one day began batting at the air in front of him with his cane and telling my grandmother, Edna, to leave him alone. But I haven't felt or seen anything like I had 20 years prior... when I passed on having what might have been an exceptional gift.
My husband and I recently moved in with his mother in her three story house that she and hubby's dad built from the ground up. His dad passed away at the age of 90 this past April 1st. He always said he only wanted to make it to 90 and then he'd be happy to go. And he was always such a prankster that we actually had a laugh at him passing on April Fool's Day... it was something he definitely would have done for the sheer hell of it.
We sleep in his room. We sleep in his bed... only it's not his matresses, but it is still filled with his furniture. I feel him here... and I think I've seen him. I was sitting on the bed and my husband was standing at the left corner of the bed...when he moved away I saw a full size apparition... totally gray .. standing there... then it disappeared. It didn't fade away... like disambiguation or an afterimage... it was just gone. I've sat here on the bed with the tablet on my lap and saw a gray shape to the right of me .. not quite peripherally.. it was there... but the second I moved my eyes to see it face on, it was gone.
My husband grew up with many, many house cats... all of them extremely loved and well-cared for. We feel them jump on the bed... our cats are no where around.
I most definitely believe... but I want to see it... to practically feel it.. .without being terrified of the experience like I was before. I'm afraid because I disassociated myself with it years before, that it may never happen.
So maybe my username should actually be Must See AGAIN To Believe.
Posted 15 January 2015 - 09:16 AM
Ravus, it's a big rush for me when I'm in the moment of experience, but too many of my experiences were realized after the fact. I wish I could have been keenly aware that all of the apparitions I saw where NOT someone standing before me. Still, the overall experience is a big adrenaline rush to me
Must-See, I enjoy hearing of those types of experiences. Sometimes I wish I had a "gift" that allowed me to communicate or see spirits/apparitions in some way. All of my experiences were by chance, as far as I know.
Posted 02 March 2016 - 07:06 AM
One thing I know for sure is that we don't know anything about the world that surrounds us. We just make suggestions and try to find reasonable explanations for what we see. But those things might be just beyond our understanding.
Posted 03 March 2016 - 11:20 AM
Thank you faustjopnson, I agree with you. And thank you everybody else. I haven't been to GV for awhile and all of your feedback was exactly what I needed.

This is soooo bizarre…
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te o told reporters he was duped after it was discovered his inspirational story about a dying girl was a hoax.
The AP reported:
Not long before Notre Dame played Michigan State last fall, word spread that Fighting Irish linebacker Manti Te'o had lost his grandmother and girlfriend within hours of each other.
Advertisement - story continues below
Te'o never missed a practice and made a season-high 12 tackles, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery in a 20-3 victory against the Spartans. His inspired play became a stirring story line for the Fighting Irish as they made a run to the national championship game behind their humble, charismatic star.
Te'o's grandmother did indeed die. His girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, never existed.
TRENDING: RUTH BADER GINSBURG DEAD! Supreme Court Justice Dies at Home Surrounded by Family
In a shocking announcement, Notre Dame said Te'o was duped into an online relationship with a woman whose "death" from leukemia was faked by perpetrators of an elaborate hoax. The goal of the scam wasn't clear, though Notre Dame said it used an investigative firm to dig into the details after Te'o disclosed them three weeks ago.
The hoax was disclosed hours after Deadspin.com posted a lengthy story, saying it could find no record that Kekua ever existed. The story suggests a friend of Te'o may have carried out the hoax and that the football player may have been in on it — a stunning claim against a widely admired All-American who led the most famed program in college football back to the championship game for the first time since 1988.

** Manti Te'o will hold a press conference later today.

Should You Eat Soft Cheeses? Absolutely!Monday, July 24th, 2017
Of course we want to be as safe as we can be as we are growing our babies. But why is it that common sense has lost out to fear and rationality? There is a new phenomenon of advising pregnant women to not eat soft cheeses and many types of deli meats. This is due to the extremely rare possibility of acquiring the bacteria Listeria. Lets talk about the myths and the facts about this disease and what the reals risks are.

Atlanta (CNN) -- A medical plane whisked an American infected with Ebola from Liberia to Georgia on Saturday, the latest leg of a race to save the first known patient with the deadly virus to be treated on U.S. soil.
Shortly after the plane landed, an ambulance rushed Dr. Kent Brantly from Dobbins Air Reserve Base to Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. He's one of two Americans sickened by the deadly viral hemorrhagic fever last month while on the front lines of a major outbreak in West Africa.
Video from Emory showed someone in a white, full-body protective suit helping a similarly clad person emerge from the ambulance and walk into the hospital.
Hospital visitor: 'Oh, my God'
Emory has said it will treat Brantly, 33, and fellow missionary Nancy Writebol in an isolation unit.
The plane equipped with an isolation unit can only transport one patient at a time. It will now pick up Writebol in Liberia and bring her to Georgia early next week, said Todd Shearer, spokesman for Christian charity Samaritan's Purse, with which both Americans were affiliated.
Brantly's wife, parents and sister cried when they saw him on CNN walking from the ambulance into the hospital, another representative of Samaritan's Purse said on condition of anonymity. His wife, Amber, later said she was relieved that her husband was back in the United States.
"I spoke with him, and he is glad to be back in the U.S.," she said in statement. "I am thankful to God for his safe transport and for giving him the strength to walk into the hospital."
Brantly's wife visited with him from behind a glass wall for about 45 minutes, the Samaritan's Purse representative said. Kent Brantly was described as "in great spirits and so grateful."
Tennessee doctor who worked with Ebola patients quarantines self
Brantly, who has ties to Texas and Indiana, and Writebol, of North Carolina, became sick while caring for Ebola patients in Liberia, one of three West African nations hit by an outbreak.
Treatment in isolation
This will be the first human Ebola test for a U.S. medical facility. The patients will be treated at an isolated unit where precautions are in place to keep such deadly diseases from spreading, unit supervisor Dr. Bruce Ribner said.
Everything that comes in and out of the unit will be controlled, Ribner said, and it will have windows and an intercom for staff to interact with patients without being in the room.
Ebola is not airborne or waterborne, and spreads through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected people.
There is no FDA-approved treatment for Ebola, and Emory will use what Ribner calls "supportive care." That means carefully tracking a patient's symptoms, vital signs and organ function and taking measures, such as blood transfusions and dialysis, to keep patients stable.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta: Ebola will go global
"We just have to keep the patient alive long enough in order for the body to control this infection," Ribner said.
Writebol was given an experimental serum this week, Samaritan's Purse said, though its purpose and effects weren't immediately publicized.
The Ebola virus causes viral hemorrhagic fever, which refers to a group of viruses that affect multiple organ systems in the body and are often accompanied by bleeding.
Early symptoms include sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches and a sore throat. They later progress to vomiting, diarrhea, impaired kidney and liver function -- and sometimes internal and external bleeding.
Bruce Johnson, president of SIM USA, a Christian mission organization with which Writebol also is linked, said Saturday that both were seriously ill but stable.
"My last report (on Brantly) was yesterday. ... He was ambulatory, being able to talk, converse, and get up. So that was encouraging," Johnson said Saturday morning.
On Writebol, Johnson said: "She's responsive, and we're encouraged at how she's doing."
Emory's isolation unit was created with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based down the road. It aims to optimize care for those with highly infectious diseases and is one of four U.S. institutions capable of providing such treatment.
The World Health Organization reports that the outbreak in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea is believed to have infected 1,323 people and killed more than 729 this year, as of July 27.
Fear, conspiracy theories
As officials worked to bring the two Americans home, the idea of intentionally bringing Ebola into the United States has rattled many nerves.
"The road to hell was paved with good intentions," wrote one person, using the hashtag #EbolaOutbreak. "What do we say to our kids When they get sick& die?"
On the website of conspiracy talker Alex Jones, who has long purported the CDC could unleash a pandemic and the government would react by instituting authoritarian rule, the news was a feast of fodder.
"Feds would exercise draconian emergency powers if Ebola hits U.S.," a headline read on infowars.com.
Ribner repeatedly downplayed the risk for anyone who will be in contact with Brantly or Writebol.
"We have two individuals who are critically ill, and we feel that we owe them the right to receive the best medical care," Ribner said.
The fight against Ebola
All concerns about the United States pale in comparison to the harsh reality in the hardest-hit areas.
Even in the best-case scenario, it could take three to six months to stem the epidemic in West Africa, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC.
There's no vaccine, though one is in the works.
There's no standardized treatment for the disease, either; the most common approach is to support organ functions and keep up bodily fluids such as blood and water long enough for the body to fight off the infection.
The National Institutes of Health plans to begin testing an experimental Ebola vaccine in people as early as September. Tests on primates have been successful.
So far, the outbreak is confined to West Africa. Although infections are dropping in Guinea, they are on the rise in Liberia and Sierra Leone.
In the 1990s, an Ebola strain tied to monkeys -- Ebola-Reston -- was found in the United States, but no humans got sick from it, according to the CDC.
Experts: U.S. health care system well-prepared for Ebola
CNN's Chelsea J. Carter, Greg Botelho, Deanna Hackney, John Branch, Danielle Dellorto, Barbara Starr, MaryLynn Ryan and Ben Brumfield contributed to this report.

To make an appointment with a tutor, please click here to check our schedules. We also accept walk-ins whenever possible, although spaces are limited. Students may book a maximum of two half-hour blocks per day, and a maximum of three hours per week.
Our Guidelines
Please come prepared with a good understanding of what it is you need to work on. For example:
- Grammar and Style

In order to help make our meeting as efficient as possible, we ask that you perform the following tasks before our appointment begins:
- Print a hard copy of your work. No electronic versions please!
- Do your best to finish your draft. If you are still brainstorming essay ideas, it is best to do so with your professor or classmates.
- Meet your professor. Make certain that you fully understand the assignment and expectations.
- Keep an open mind. Working with a tutor doesn't guarantee a better grade, but it is an important step toward improving your performance.
We look forward to working with you!

Puryear, TN Nursing Homes
1 Nursing Homes are located in the city of Puryear, Tennessee or nearby and can accommodate the needs of your Loved One (subject to availability). Also known as Skilled Nursing Facilities, these health facilities 1 provide continuous nursing and supportive care to patients who need long-term nursing care on an extended basis, rehabilitation after surgery, disabled or those people who are recovering from a serious medical condition.
Nursing Homes in Puryear offer personal care, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) plus all the services provided by assisted living facilities with around the clock nursing care. This also includes daily nutritional meals, bathing, grooming, dressing, medication management and more. Tennessee Hospice, Dementia and Alzheimer's Care are all part of the specialty care provided by Nursing Homes which is provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Registered Nurses and LVNs (Licensed Vocational Nurses) are available to assist their patients with their care needs in the facility.
Seniors in Puryear typically need this type of rehabilitation care when they are suffering from a serious medical condition. A licensed registered nurse is required to be present in the nursing home at all times to provide a more intensive care and treatment to patients who are in need of complex medical care, including seniors who have injuries, disabilities, serious illness or those recovering for surgery.
The average cost of Nursing Homes in Puryear is $ 5817 per month (source: Genworth Financial). Generally in Tennessee, Skilled Nursing in is more expensive than Assisted Living as it requires licensed professionals and more medical equipment to sustain a patient's high level of medical care needs.
Paying for Nursing Care can be very expensive especially if the stay is longer than anticipated. Due to the high nursing home costs in Puryear, patients typically utilize their Medicare or Medicaid benefits. Medicare or Medicaid will only pay for care services provided by certified nursing home facilities for a limited amount of time typically for 90 days.
However, for those patients who do not qualify for these government health programs, private insurance or private funds are used. Some sources may include the patient's retirement savings, help from family members or long term care insurance. If none if these are available, it's best to contact Medicare (www.medicare.gov) or Tennessee's Department of Health, Division of Health Care Facilities for more options.
Puryear Nursing Homes are licensed, inspected and regulated by the Department of Public Health, regulated by the state and the federal government and are certified by Medicare and Medicaid.
Tennessee Skilled Nursing facilities become certified only when they pass the state government agency inspection. These government agencies are responsible for having the administrators licensed, performing routine inspections, ensuring the facility is operating up to standards and checking that the residents are receiving good care.
For additional information, you can directly visit Medicare at www.medicare.gov or call them at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227)

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)
As opposed to a processor that executes tasks sequentially (i.e. one after the other) a FPGA is capable of executing tasks in parallel. The reason for this is the design of the FPGA chip: it contains a number of configurable logic blocks and each of these can be assigned a specific pre-processing task. Therefore the performance of an application is maintained even if adding further processing tasks.
Besides VHDL tools there are easy to learn graphical FPGA programming tools.
As they can be reconfigured, FPGAs can easily be adapted to new tasks or technological developments.
