Wait, What?
First of all, as a society we're not cool with just letting poor people die in the streets. So while we don't provide housing, we do provide emergency room care. It's counterintuitive, but this begrudging little bit of help actually winds up costing society way more than if we just went the whole way.
Why? Well, it should come as a surprise to nobody that living on the street is kind of unhealthy, and that's before the depression and its accompanying substance abuse come into play. For example, Boston Health Care for the Homeless tracked 119 chronically homeless people for five years. In that time, those 119 people racked up an astounding 18,834 emergency room visits, despite the fact that 33 of them died and seven were placed in a nursing home during that time. In Washington in 2002, 198 individuals generated 9,000 emergency room visits, or a little under one a week. At a minimum of $1,000 a visit, that's a heck of a medical bill that those hospitals are trying to collect from a homeless person. Unless they have a really good day panhandling, that money is coming out of your pocket.
"You mean this won't cover my co-pay?"
Add in the annual cost of $24,000 if they take advantage of a shelter, plus the cost of the police to arrest and process those who misbehave (plus the round-the-clock housing, feeding and guarding they get once they're in jail), and it all adds up to a tidy sum for taxpayers to handle. Experts say it really would be cheaper just to house them and treat them.

Brian Auger has always demonstrated a rare devotion and dedication toward developing new musical forms. Equally comfortable with pop, R&B, and jazz, Auger was a founding member of the group, Steampacket, which helped launch the careers of singers Long John Baldry, Julie Driscoll, and Rod Stewart. Partnering with Julie Driscoll, Auger formed the Trinity, which recorded some of the most intriguing albums of the late 1960s, achieving international recognition for their cover of Dylan's "This Wheel's On Fire" in 1968. Straddling jazz, rhythm & blues, folk, gospel and pop in equal measure, the Trinity albums refused to be categorized. Auger's intention was to overlay soulful pop rhythms with jazz harmonies and solos and his late-1960s recordings exemplify this unique approach. Following the demise of the Trinity, he formed Brian Auger's Oblivion Express at the dawn of the 1970s, another genre-defying group that would gain him much wider recognition, eventually entering the jazz, pop and R&B charts simultaneously. The Oblivion Express created high energy, jazz-inspired music, with Auger's high energy Hammond organ style, in the tradition of Jimmy Smith, dominating the proceedings.
This performance, recorded at San Francisco's Winterland, when Auger's Oblivion Express opened for Fleetwood Mac, captures the band during a particularly interesting time and with its quintessential lineup. The band's album Reinforcements had just been released and their stage repertoire here includes two fresh new band originals from that album, as well as three of the most impressive jazz-inflected covers from their earlier releases.
Following Auger's high-spirited introduction of the band members, they launch headfirst into the leadoff track from the new album with "Brain Damage." A collaboration written by vocalist/guitarist Alex Ligertwood (who would soon be recruited as lead vocalist for Santana) and lead guitarist Jack Mills, this is an explosive opening number that explores a diverse range of influences resulting in a progressive jazz/rock fusion sound. Auger's high energy Hammond organ style, in the tradition of Jimmy Smith, is exemplary, and the musicians maintain a tight, cohesive blend on the extended improvisations held togethre by percussionists David Dowle (who would later go on to record four early albums with Whitesnake) and Lennox Laington.
Venturing back to material from the Second Wind album, they next deliver a tight rather economical performance of Eddie Harris' "Freedom Jazz Dance," before again stretching out on Wes Montgomery's classic, "Bumpin' On Sunset." Here, the group establishes a relaxed, but nonetheless infectious groove, featuring Auger's superb, yet never over-bearing technical abilities and the entire band reaching inspired heights. Like the best jazz bands, the Oblivion Express plays with deep feeling and a cohesiveness that is a rarity among rock bands of the mid-1970s.
They next return to the Reinforcements material for a crack at Clive Chaman's "Foolish Girl." A recruit from the Jeff Beck Group, Chaman is an outstanding and creative bass player and this composition ventures into the funk territory that would be explored by groups like the Average White Band and countless others as the decade progressed.
The set concludes with a foot-stomping, full blown funky jazz blowout on a cover of Les McCann's "Compared To What." The original version of the song is a powerful example of black pop and soul that wasn't afraid to address political issues; in this case the Vietnam War, and it is no less powerful in the hands of the Oblivion Express. Although lyrically the song is clearly dated to the late-1960s, Auger's bluesy Hammond organ licks have a timeless appeal and he and the group's offbeat humor are apparent throughout.
All through this performance, Auger's technique is jaw-dropping and the amount of energy he and the group generates is unparalleled and relentless. The broad-minded musical attitude and skill of these musicians is never less than impressive and they manage to bridge the gap between rock and jazz-fusion in a way that remains inviting, accessible, and musically compelling.

Big Hero 6
We're deep in the new era of big budget superhero movies that mixes smart plots with witty dialogue and plenty of action. The super era of super hero movies continues with Big Hero 6; Disney's latest 3D animated picture starring Hiro (voiced by Ryan Potter).
The story takes place in San Fransokyo, a seaside city that obviously fuses San Francisco and Tokyo into one.
14-year-old Hiro is a super genius whose interest in creating robots and machinery takes him to the underworld of illegal robot fighting. His supportive brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) attempts to steer him toward a more fulfilling lifestyle that would better support his level of intelligence by giving him a tour of his university. Amazed at what the school has to offer, Hiro decides to enrol but first must impress the admission team.
Hiro's invention of mind-controlled microbots wows headmaster Professor Callaghan (James Cromwell), as well as Tadashi's school friends and Hiro is in.
Big Hero 6 covers a lot of ground in its one hour, 42 minute duration. You have the relatable kid in Hiro at the centre, a loveable goofy inflatable sidekick in the robot Baymax (Scott Adsit), a supportive group of friends, and an antagonist who, when shown for the first time, was a legitimate fright simply because of how sudden it was.
Most of all, the movie is heartwarming. At times it almost seems to be too much so in its obvious attempt to pull hard at the emotions but it works every time.
Much of this can be attributed to how well Hiro's person is captured. His situation, personality and desires are all very well developed for an animated film that has as much going on as this one did. As much as Big Hero 6 is a superhero film, it's also a coming-of-age story that focuses on Hiro's evolution from a kid with no real goals to someone who now has a purpose.

WW II Vet's Letter to Obama
Rev. Austin Miles
WW II Vet's Letter to Obama
by Rev. Austin Miles
This letter from a WW II veteran and a Pearl Harbor Survivor has made the rounds. He died at the age of 96 on Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Obama had been in office little more than a year and had immediately begun to degrade, demoralize and weaken The United States of America. The veteran's words to Obama went viral since it reflected the feelings of many, and is still in circulation.
Today, our country is in even worse shape as the occupier of The Oval Office continues to lead our former Land of The Free down the spiraling road to Communist control. The 95 year old hero of "The Greatest Generation" had stood up to speak out for the sake of the country he defended.
This venerable and much honored WW II vet was well known in Hawaii for his seventy-plus years of service to patriotic organizations and causes all over the country. A humble man without a political bone in his body, he had never spoken out before about a government official but he felt that someone needed to confront Obama. He dictated this letter to a friend, signed it and mailed it to The White House.
Dear President Obama,
My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert. I enlisted in the U. S . Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor, allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.
One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes. I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish.
I can't figure out what country you are the president of. You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like: "We're no longer a Christian nation." "America is arrogant" - (Your wife even announced to the world, "America is mean-spirited." Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)
I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House. After 9/11 you said, "America hasn't lived up to her ideals." Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War?
I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom. I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected.
Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue. You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves.
And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more? You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts, who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.
One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out. The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of.
You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle…
Harold B. Estes
END NOTE: Our thanks to Rev. Ed. Berkey (retired) for alerting us to this letter which he shows has been confirmed as authentic by Snopes and was further verified by this writer's Google search.

Driven largely by a vision of an accident-free world, the autonomous car market is predicted hit $42billion by 2025, accelerating to $77billion by 2035, according to the Boston Consulting Group.
While safety may be the driver of the technology, the autonomous car will also enable other trends such as ride and car sharing, and in due course Mobility as a Service (MaaS).
These mobility trends will shift the way that the automotive industry defines its business model and ultimately the way it designs and builds its vehicles to meet the new requirements: Shifting from personal-use vehicles tailored to individual customers' preferences to 'pods' designed to enhance function and user experience.
These smart, autonomous and connected vehicles will give creative engineers and product planners extra design freedom, allowing them to explore new chassis concepts.
This exclusive Automotive IQ industry report explores the key issues surrounding the creation of the chassis of the future. Key topics include:
- The challenges faced in developing chassis for complex autonomous vehicles
- Incorporating drive-by-wire technology
- Vehicle motion control, essential for when the driver no-longer controls the car
- Chassis electrification – the only powertrain choice for Level 5 automation
- Rethinking chassis design and engineering once accidents are a thing of the past
- Lightweight structures save weight and boost efficiency

Dead City by Joe McKinney
Read by Michael Kramer
Genre: Zombie Horror
Quick Thoughts: McKinney's Dead City is a fast paced, real time first person look at a Zombie Uprising, with a realistic and likeable main character.
Grade: B
One of the best things about zombie novels is the vicarious living effect, what would you do if you were in that situation? There have always been a lot of discussions on this topic among zombie fans. The movie Zombieland even presents a list of rules for surviving the Zombie Apocalypse. Yet conversely, it's also a quite frustrating part of zombie fiction. You know that anytime someone writes a zombie novel, there are going to be tons of reviews and posts by internet know-it-alls about why the main characters were stupid or unrealistic in their actions while attempting to keep from being eaten. Now for me, I know exactly what I would do, I would legally change my name to dinner. You see, us 30 something guys living in a major metropolitan area with a bum knee who neither own nor have ever fired a firearm, well, our best option is to have a variety of dipping sauces available when the zombies come. Personally, I think the internet trolls would find plenty to complain about with that strategy as well.
One of the things I loved about Dead City, the first of Joe McKinney's Dead World novels, is that the hero, Eddie Hudson, is quite fallible. He makes mistakes, some of them quite stupid. He spends much of the story in a state of shocked disbelief. In the beginning it was quite frustrating, this cop running around in the midst of a zombie uprising, trying to save his family, yet he seems to take unnecessary road trips into danger. Yes, this isn't the smartest thing to do, but who in their right mind would have their brain firing on all cylinders when seemingly dead people are walking around trying to eat you. Dead City moves in real time, following Hudson as he moves through the city of San Antonio, from one zombie encounter to another. Hudson meets an assortment of characters, some interesting, and some annoying as he searches for his family. Dead City offers us a perspective that far too few Zombie novels give us. Dead City takes place at the height of the zombie uprising, before the survivors have had a chance to wrap their brains around the situation. It's this initial terror that is fascinating and McKinney does an excellent job capturing it. This isn't a novel about seasoned zombie hunters who have it all figured out. So, sure the trolls will probably find problems with Hudson's decisions, but then again, I've heard that Zombies particularly like the flavor of troll meat.
I have to admit, I am not a huge Michael Kramer fan. I often find his narration on the dry side, with his deep tone bordering on monotonous. Here, he does a solid job handling the first person narrative of Eddie Hudson. It wasn't perfect, I would have loved for him to add more of a southern twang to the character. Some times you can hear a bit of the Texan in Kramer's Eddie Hudson, yet is comes and goes, but, not really to the point of distraction. Kramer does a good job with the peripheral characters, especially Hudson's former partner Marcus, who he infuses with an appropriate childlike southern charm. Kramer slow reading works well with the fast paced nature of the book allowing the listener to follow the often chaotic action. What I am truly looking forward to is the next two books in the series which are narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Todd McLaren. Despite some minor issues with the text and narration, Dead City is definitely full of great zombie action and a well realized main character.
Note: A Special thanks to the wonderful people from Tantor Audio for providing me with a copy of this audiobook. You can purchase this title directly from their website Tantor.com

Of course, the American Film Market's research isn't an exact science and there will always be exceptions to the rules. For instance, despite being apathetic towards action films in general, at the time of writing, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War are hitting massive numbers at the Italian box office – so audience preferences aren't always so clear-cut.

Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal DisordersKathryn Patricelli, MA
What is Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal Disorders?
Symptoms of this condition include:
- ongoing issues with not completely waking up from sleep, which usually happens during the first third of the night, and involves one of the following:
- Sleepwalking - the person gets up from bed and walks around, but is not awake. They may have a blank stare on their face, aren't very receptive to talking with others, and have trouble being awakened by others.
- Sleep Terrors - the person has a sudden terror episode while sleeping. This usually starts with a sudden panicky scream and then the person has intense fear, a racing heart rate, rapid breathing, and sweating. The person does not wake up completely while it is happening and has trouble being comforted by others while it is happening.
- The person can remember very little or nothing of the dreams that occurred.
- They don't remember the episode at all. For example, when a family member asks them about what they were trying to do during sleepwalking or what the terrifying dream they had that caused them to scream was the person is completely unaware that it happened at all.
- these issues cause stress in the person's life or trouble in functioning at work, in relationships with others, or other daily activities.
- the issues are not caused by a substance (medication or drug of abuse).
- there isn't another medical or mental health condition that explains the sleepwalking or sleep terrors.
How common is Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal Disorders?
This condition is most commonly found in children and gets less as the person gets older. Sleepwalking in adults for the first time should be checked out as there may be another cause including obstructive sleep apnea, seizures during sleep, or effects from a medication being taken.
What are the risk factors for Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal Disorders?
Up to 80% of those who have a family member who sleepwalks or has sleep terrors, will sleepwalk. Those who have a parent, brother or sister with sleep terrors have a 10% higher risk of having sleep terrors.
Other risks include use of medications to fall asleep (sedatives), sleep deprivation, sleep-wake schedule disruptions, fatigue, and emotional or physical stress.
What other disorders or conditions often occur with Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal Disorders?
Those who have sleepwalking episodes may be more likely to have depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and those who have sleep terrors may have depression or anxiety symptoms.
How is Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Arousal Disorders treated?
Most children will eventually outgrow sleep walking or sleep terrors, but treatments can be used. For sleepwalking, these include setting healthy sleep habits. This would be setting regular bedtimes, looking at the types of activities done before bed that could be causing a problem (exercise, too much television or screen time, eating or drinking, etc.) and creating a relaxing and predictable bedtime routine.
Those with sleep terrors may be helped by being awakened during the night. Since the terrors usually happen in the first third of the night's sleep, a pattern can often be found after a few episodes. Then the person can be awakened just before it would usually happen. If the person can fall back to sleep afterwards, it can help create a healthier sleep cycle.

As the times change and as the difficulties that taunt our country change, so do the feelings of worry that parents have for their kids.

The Things That You Need to Know about the Confederate Flag
There is quite a big percentage of Americans that are very proud of the Confederate flag and they see it as one of the biggest symbols. Unfortunately, not very many people usually know a lot of information about the Confederate flag although they may be very interested in supporting it. You'll actually be able to know much more about the history of the Confederate flag when you read this article. The creation of the Confederacy flag was done in the year 1861 and this is the beginning year when it was used. There was a committee that was specifically formed for this and that is the reason why it became very popular. There are people who of the view that the flag is not supposed to be anything close to the American flag while others were of the view that it's supposed to be a mirror of the same. There were a lot of designs that are created for the purpose of the Confederate flag and this is the main reason why there were a lot of flags that were put forward. It was after these years and after a lot of design work has been properly deliberated that the flag was first used.
Some of the things you will be able to understand are going to be very unique and they are specifically related to the Confederate flag in the article. The Confederate flag is no longer used today but it is available for sale for the people who are interested in having it in their homes. The only thing that you have to do woul to go for shopping so that you can find the right companies are going to give you the Confederate flag. The state of Mississippi is the one which has remained that uses the flag although in the beginning, there were quite a number. Some of the examples of the states that used the Confederate flag include South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia and many others. The original design of the flag was very unique and very different especially because it represented an X. There are a number of laws that are protecting the Confederate flag even after today meaning that you cannot be able to deface it.
The state of Mississippi even after today continues to use the Confederate flag as part of the state flags. The states that were against the federal government were the ones that were using the Confederate flag, it represented a resistance. For many of the people, the Confederate flag is not a symbol of racism and that is why they accepted.

Littler Mendelson said that it has confirmed reports that the Department of Labor's long-awaited proposed rule that would revise the so-called "white collar" overtime exemption to raise the salary threshold at which executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees would be exempt from overtime pay requirements is headed to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). As of January 15, the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs does not yet show the proposed rulemaking on its Reginfo.gov website, however.
While the amount of the proposed salary threshold is unknown, at his Senate confirmation hearing on March 22, 2017, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta said that an appropriate threshold would be about $33,000 annually. This would be a significant drop from the $47,476 set in the Obama Administration's final rule that was blocked by a federal court in Texas. Prior to the Obama-era rule that was blocked, the threshold was $23,660.
Proposed rule on the horizon. The new overtime salary threshold has long been in the making. On July 26, 2017, the DOL issued a request for information on defining and delimiting the exemptions for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees (EAP). The comment period ended September 25, 2017. In the DOL's 2018 Fall Agency List, the Wage and Hour Division said that it expected to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking in March 2019.
Now that the draft proposal is set for OMB review, we can expect the proposed overtime rule to be released fairly soon, but how soon is anybody's guess, especially given that we are in the midst of a partial federal government shutdown.
Earlier rule. The Obama-era final rule would have gone into effect December 1, 2016. It would have set the salary floor below which overtime must be paid to white-collar employees at the 40th percentile of earnings of full-time salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census Region. This would have resulted in a salary floor increase from $23,660 to $47,476 annually.
But in November 2016, a Texas federal court granted an emergency motion for a preliminary injunction in a consolidated case challenging the rule brought by 21 states (and a business coalition), ruling that "Congress intended the EAP exemption to depend on an employee's duties rather than an employee's salary."
On August 31, 2017, the court granted summary judgment to the plaintiffs, invalidating the final rule, and entering final judgment on that order.
Appeal dropped. The DOL initially appealed to the Fifth Circuit, but on September 6, 2017, at the DOL's request, the court dismissed the appeal, and denied as moot the department's motion to cancel oral argument and hold the cases in abeyance pending party discussions.
Stay of contempt order. Meanwhile, the district court on August 1 entered a stay of the contempt order it issued against plaintiffs who sued Chipotle for overtime wages based on criteria contained in the then-enjoined rule. That stay remains in effect, pending appeal of the contempt order. "Here, the primary issue presented on appeal—whether the third-party Respondents are subject to contempt for violating the Court's Injunction against the enactment and enforcement of a federal agency's rule—is serious to both the litigants and to the public at large," wrote the court.

Modern interactions
Digital storytelling is key, but for those who want to know more on the fly the way in which data driven organizations interact with their data must evolve.

Allowing technology to do the heavy lifting allows business leaders to lead and interact at a faster rate – getting them back to the business and out of the numbers.

Plumbing problems occur when least expected. The worst that can happen is to experience a plumbing problem when you do not know the right plumber to assign the task. Since every plumber in the industry will create the impression that they are the best, you have the responsibility of ensuring that you choose the right plumber. But what distinguishes great plumbers from mediocre ones? Well, it that it the answers that you seek, then you should read this article to the end and understand some of the qualities associated with great plumbers.
Fully Certified
One of the essential points to pay attention to when looking for a professional plumber is the certification. Hiring someone purporting to be a licensed plumber and yet do not have the right papers will be a grave mistake. The certifications are there to show you that the plumber in question has gone through relevant training, and they are therefore not going to disappoint you. If a plumber cannot prove that they have the appropriate certifications, then you have no business of working with such a plumber.
The next thing to look at when looking for the best plumber is the experience. As they say, experience is the best teacher, and you would not want to overlook that fact. The more years that a plumber has been in the plumbing industry, the more likely they are to offer you the best services. However, it is essential to also look at the work that the plumber has been able to do. This will give you a clear insight into what to expect if you choose to work with the plumber in question.
The Reputation
Lastly, you need to consider the reputation of the plumber. One thing to remember is that every plumber that you are going to come across would want to create the impression that they are the best. Therefore it is your responsibility to do your research and find a plumber that can do a good job. First, you need to read online reviews. This will help you to know what other people think about the plumber.
If the plumber always does a good job, you can be sure that you will find a lot of people talking positively about the plumber. Also, you can spare some of your time to look at the track record of the plumber. If the plumber has been doing a good job, then you can trust him/ her to do a good job.

getting this response code now when requesting commerce prices for a set of ids.
Is this a permanent change to only the endpoint response code, or has the max number of item ids in a request been lowered?
looks sorted now, last instance of the 206 response code was 20:02:28 UTC
so thanks, to whomever or whatever sorted it
-- bah, spoke too soon. Oddly, retrying the same request can return a 200.
I put in some logging around this as the 206 responses are still happening. I assume I'm not the only one seeing this...
When the 206 is returned, the returned item count is less than the requested ids, often just by one, sometimes by two.
The two examples I have from today are:
08:32:29 UTC a request to commerce/prices with 128 ids returned a 206 and 126 prices. The missing ids were 84869, 85075
19:02:31 UTC a request to commerce/prices with 136 ids returned a 206 and 137 prices. The missing id was 84969
The id list is retrieved by calling commerce/prices.
That list is then batched into calls to commerce/prices?ids=
I assume this could be a function of bad luck of calling ids before the api cache updates and then for prices after the api cache updates, but I would suddenly be getting quite unlucky if that's the case. And as I mentioned previously, it's possible to repeat the same request with the same batch of ids 10 seconds after a 206 and receive a 200 back.
206 is the correct response when not all requested ids are part of the result. It has been this way for a looong time for the v2 APIs. Try just requesting the missing ids and you should get the reason (probably just
{"text": "no such id"}). This can have many reasons.
I understand the purpose of the response code, aye.
However if this has always been happening when querying the Prices endpoint with Ids retrieved just prior from the Prices endpoint, I must have been very lucky for over a year then of regularly scraping Trading Post data. I haven't been receiving 206s up until 7 Nov 2017.
Replaying the request will often return the missing data, and the items this happens with seem to be low volume, so it feels as though there may be a mismatch with server side data caching on, perhaps, a single server in the load balancer.
i found the receipts https://github.com/codemasher/gw2-database/blame/ecb7fdc9d8acc8d2635704d6ee6c7ed31447bc05/classes/gw2items.class.php#L104
The 206 exists since forever, at least since
/v2- if you ran into it just now, you might as well revisit your code. The API returns it on any partial paged response as well as some others.
Ta for the gitblame.
Yes, it is normal for an API to return a 206 for partial data.
I don't find it normal for an API to return 206 and then 200 for the same request made in succession.
The multi_request function there looks like it's purpose is to multi-threaded requests, so most likely it's taking the list of item ids, and making one request for each.
The partial result is then most likely happening because at least one of those multiple requests is not returning or erroring out.
I'm not guessing, this behaviour is intended and confirmed.
also, lye said
but RE: 206, I originally thought it was a silly idea but it turns out to be super helpful for a lot of things so it'll have to be removed over my dead body

On Daum's Tellzone message board, a photo with the title: "2NE1's Park Bom Wearing a Wedding Dress" recently emerged. In the picture, Park Bom is seen in a gorgeous wedding dress posing confidently with both arms propped on her waist, all the more accentuating her beauty. Although famous for her cuteness, Park Bom's charm seems to be elevated with the dress, and her appeal heightened in an elegant and graceful manner. Furthermore, not only did the wonderful wedding dress draw attention in the people's eyes, but her remarkably slim waistline did as well, accentuating her pose and splendor in the process.
After seeing Park Bom's picture, numerous comments from netizens appeared, varying from "I think it's true when people say a girl looks the most beautiful in a wedding dress", to "Park Bom can announce her wedding right now" and "The dress is absolutely amazing. It goes very well with Park Bom", as well as "I think the reason for Park Bom going on a diet was to fit in that dress.
Furthermore, Park Bom was seen performing with her sister, cellist Park Goh Eun at 2NE1's first concert "Nolza" (Let's play) at Bahngiedong Olympic Park in Seoul on the 28th for the songs "You and I" and "Don't Cry".

Do you feel an achy, dull, annoying pain in the side of your hip that's been there for months or even years? Does it seem to get worse after any type of dynamic physical activity or any prolonged period of sitting?
It's possible that this discomfort is due to a shortened and dysfunctional tensor fascia latae muscle, or "TFL" for short. I've experienced this discomfort myself so I know exactly how much of a pain in the [TFL] it can be!
In this article, we're going to explain why your tensor fascia lata might be dysfunctional and then present a step-by-step training protocol that can help you reduce your TFL pain.
My TFL Story
When I was troubleshooting my chronic hip pain, there was one area in my hip that gave me a great deal of trouble. The area was on the side of my right hip and got worse after any type of dynamic activity (like basketball or running) or long periods of sitting.
Once I became a movement coach and understood hip musculature better, I discovered that the pain I was experiencing was likely due to an overactive tensor fascia lata.
Figuring out that the TFL was responsible for this nagging pain was only the first step and I soon found out that this is a tricky muscle to get to relax.
After weeks of experimentation on myself, I discovered that it wasn't only what strategies I used that mattered but the order in which I used them. Once I began using the step-by-step protocol discussed in this article, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my chronic hip pain.
I started using this same protocol with clients who also had positive results. That said, it's important for every individual to adjust the protocol based on their needs. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach and it's important to find a routine that works for you. This is one approach that has worked fantastically for me.
Why does Your TFL hurt?
The TFL is a lateral hip muscle that contributes to hip flexion, hip abduction and hip internal rotation from an anatomical position. The TFL acts as a synergist (secondary mover) and not a primary mover when performing these various muscle actions. Basically it's supposed to be a helper.
So one reason your TFL may be painful is described with the fancy term "synergistic dominance." This is when a secondary mover does more work than it normally should to make up for the primary movers. Translation: if the primary movers are not carrying their weight (literally) then the TFL has to pick up the slack. After years of improper muscle recruitment, the TFL can become overactive, tense and painful.
For example, in hip abduction (kicking the leg out sideways), the primary movers are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus while the TFL acts as a synergist. If any or all of the primary movers are weak, atrophied or not able to optimally contract, the TFL might try to step in and work overtime to bring the hips into hip abduction.
Unfortunately, the TFL doesn't like doing double duty during hip abduction and eventually it can begin to tense up, ache and become painful. It's like when your coworker doesn't do his job, and you end up having to cover for him over and over again.The same situation can occur in hip flexion or internal rotation as well if the primary movers of these muscle actions are dysfunctional.
It means the TFL is always doing more than it should in some motions.
Another reason your TFL may be painful is weakness. If the TFL itself is extremely weak and unable to optimally contract when it is recruited in various movement patterns, it can result in a constant sense of "tightness." If that sounds like you, you may want to read this article.
A final other reason could be an imbalance between the TFL and muscles all around the hip (like the adductors). We'll save that for another article or video one day.
How to Use This Tutorial: Improve Function to Improve Pain
Our ultimate goal here is to ease your TFL pain. To do that, we're going to think about muscles. Always Think Muscles.
This is an important concept to grasp because there can be one movement pattern that your hip is dysfunctional in or there can be three. Until you optimize each movement pattern and achieve correct muscle balance, there is a risk that your TFL will be achy. The goal of this tutorial is to provide guidance on how to determine which of your movement patterns are dysfunctional and how to improve them.
The recommended way to use this tutorial is to identify which movement patterns you are weak in and then tailor your training to these findings.
Practically speaking, I suggest everyone perform the "TFL warm-up" from Step 1 below and then add specific exercises from Step 2 to optimize dysfunctional movement patterns.
You may only need to improve one movement pattern or you may need to improve all three of the suggested movement patterns. It really depends on you and it is highly individualized. The only way to know is to attempt each group of exercises to see if they are challenging for you. If they are challenging, then you need them. The harder an exercise is, the more you need it!
It is also important to note that the below warm-up and movement patterns are not an exhaustive list on how TFL pain can be improved.
This is one routine that has worked for me and my clients, but there are a lot of other options. The important thing is to understand the principles at play.
If you find other helpful exercises or methods to improve your TFL pain, by all means include those exercises in your training protocol and use the recommendations here as a way to help you think about how you implement those exercises into your training.
Step 1 – TFL Warm-Up
The Banded Hip Circles and Softball on TFL are two great drills to warm up the hip if you're struggling with TFL pain. You can also use this as a part of a warm-up before your normal workouts or other dynamic activities.
Banded Hip Circles
A chronically shortened TFL can cause instability and restricted movement of the femur in the hip joint. The way in which we establish stability and smooth movement in the hip joint is by introducing optimal muscle balance around the hips.
However, I've found that this can sometimes be difficult to do by simply strengthening the weak muscles because of how immobile and stubborn the hip joint can become. This is why I recommend starting with gentle banded distraction drills to mobilize the hip joint before performing any activation drills.
Loop resistance band through upper thigh and shift forward to get some resistance from the band.
Kick the banded leg up and flex the hip so the knee is at 90 degrees.
Get on the toes of the un-banded leg and place your hands forward resting on the floor.
Shift body weight slightly to the banded side.
Slowly perform 10 gentle hip circles in a clockwise direction ensuring that the movement is isolated to the hips and the spine is not involved.
Slowly perform 10 gentle hip circles in a counter-clockwise position.
Internally rotate the banded hip and repeat steps 5 and 6.
Externally rotate the banded hip and repeat steps 5 and 6.
Switch sides and perform same sequence.
Softball on TFL
Once we've mobilized the hip joint a little bit, let's reduce some of the excess tension in the TFL. The most helpful tool I've found to really get into the TFL is a softball. This may be quite painful at first and you may not be able to get much body weight on the softball in the beginning. All this means is that you need it even more so stick with it!
Make sure you're not just doing this passively and really try to "chase the pain" so that you're releasing some tension and allowing the muscle to relax. This can also be a good way to evaluate the progress you're making since less tension in the muscle usually means less pain and discomfort.
- Lay on your side and place the softball under the TFL.
- Slowly start bringing the upper body toward the floor until you feel significant tension in the TFL.
- Find an area of tension and maintain that position for 30 seconds to a minute, or until the tension dissipates.
- Look for 2 or 3 other areas of tension and switch sides. Spend 2-5 minutes on each side.
Step 2 - Movement Pattern Optimization
This step takes a look at movement pattern issues.
Hip Internal Rotation
A common pattern I've seen with individuals who have TFL pain is that they also have extremely limited hip internal rotation.
90 90 Mobility Drill with No Hands - Test for Restriction
The 90 90 mobility drill is an easy test to evaluate your internal rotation.
- Get into a 90 90 position where the left knee is behind the right foot and your legs are both at a 90-degree angle.
- While maintaining a neutral spine, try to reverse the movement by lifting the left leg and then trail with the right leg in the same pattern.
- Notice how much restriction you have in the back hip when attempting this drill and see if you have trouble performing this movement.
- If this drill is challenging, you likely have limited hip internal rotation.
- The following are signs that the you have limited internal rotation: unable to rest back knee on ground, unable to perform movement with neutral spine, significant restriction in back hip and inability to perform movement without hands.
If you had trouble with that test, then here are some things you can work on.
Prone Hip Internal Rotation with Strap
A great way to improve internal rotation is by implementing the contract-relax technique to develop more range of motion. All you need for the below exercise is a yoga strap or a belt that can wrapped around your foot.
Place a strap or band (belt is ok too) under the arch of your right foot.
Lay in a prone position with your knee at your side and flexed at 90 degrees.
Bring the right leg toward you by pulling the strap. Maintain the 90 degree angle at all times.
Pull the leg until you reach your end range of motion. Keep pulling at your end range for 5 seconds.
Keep pulling the strap toward you but now push the foot against the resistance of the strap for 5 seconds.
Pull the strap and the foot for another 5 seconds.
Repeat this sequence for another 2-3 cycles and then switch legs.
- 1 set; 3 contract-relax cycles on each side
After you have performed the Prone Hip IR exercise, go back to to the 90 90 mobility drill to see if there is less restriction in the movement.
90 90 transitions with hands
The 90 90 mobility drill is a great test for internal rotation but also a great mobility drill to enter and exit those deeper ranges of motion. If you are still having trouble without using your hands, try the following regression. with your hands to help you.
- Get into a 90 90 position where the left knee is behind the right foot and your legs are both at a 90-degree angle.
- Place both hands behind you to keep the hips from spiking up too much (do your best!).
- Shift left leg to the left by picking up the knee and allow the right leg to follow in the same pattern until you assume a 90 90 position on the opposite side.
- Perform sequence for 2 minutes.
- Occasionally test the no-hands version to see if you can do it at least once or twice no hands!
Hip Flexion
Another movement pattern that is commonly dysfunctional in those with TFL pain is hip flexion. A great way to evaluate your hip flexion muscle function is by testing your high hip flexor muscle activity in the seated position.
The seated hip flexion sequence can function as both a test and beginner exercise to reintroduce proper hip flexion muscle engagement. Perform the following exercise and notice if you can feel the high hip flexors begin to contract as you flex your hip and extend your knee.
Seated Knee Flexion and Extension
- Sit on the edge of a chair or bench.
- Lift your left knee to activate your psoas and hold this position for 3 seconds.
- Straighten the leg out and hold this position for 3 seconds.
- 2 sets; 6 reps on each side; hold for 3 seconds in each position
- Perform all required reps on left side and then switch to right side and repeat sequence.
If you had trouble recruiting the hip flexors in this position or your muscles become fatigued before finishing the prescribed volume, work on this exercise for a couple weeks until it becomes easy. Remember, you're not just passively lifting your leg. you are bringing awareness to your hip flexors and ensuring that you feel a contraction in the correct place.
Once you've mastered the seated position, you can begin progressing to more challenging hip flexion exercises.
In the following video, you'll find some more exercises that you can experiment with as you become stronger.
- Choose one or two of the variations and integrate into your training routine!
V-sit leg lifts - Intermediate/Advanced
As you get better at hip flexion, you can start to play with different angles of hip abduction and internal rotation. The V-sit leg lifts are a brutally difficult test for your hip flexors.
- Start in a seated position with your legs extended and out to the sides to create a "V" shape.
- For the first couple sets, place your hands behind your back.
- Internally rotate the right leg, lift the leg and hold for 5 seconds. Continue lifting and internally rotating during the 5 second hold.
- Bring the leg back down and repeat the sequence for the prescribed number of repetitions.
- Switch sides and repeat same sequence.
- Once you become stronger in this position, attempt the exercise without using your hands for support.
Hip Abduction and the TFL
The last movement pattern is hip abduction and I intentionally placed it last because it is usually the most difficult pattern to disassociate an overactive TFL from. In my own experience, any type of hip abduction exercise would exacerbate my TFL pain.
It wasn't until I began using the TFL Warmup that I felt confident enough to begin retraining this movement pattern.
Having said that, this is an essential hip movement to get proper control over. Move through the progressions listed below slowly and don't try to obtain too much range of motion too quickly. Respect your current limits and ask the body for a little more range each workout. Perform the TFL Warm Up before any hip abduction exercises so your hip is nice and loose before seeking more range of motion in hip abduction.
Work on each of the below exercises until they become easy, and then move on to the next harder exercise
Beginner - The Fire Hydrant / 4-point Hip Abduction
- Get into a 4-point stance.
- Abduct your right hip out to the side until you reach your end range of motion.
- Once you feel the contraction in the lateral glute muscles, hold this contraction for 5 seconds.
- 2 sets of 5; 5 second holds
- Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions and then switch sides.
Intermediate - Side-lying leg lifts with resistance
- Place a mini-resistance band right above your knees and lay on your left side at a 45-degree angle.
- Extend and straighten the right leg while maintaining the same angle with both legs.
- Lift the right leg 6 inches off the ground and hold for 1-3 seconds.
- Repeat movement for prescribed number of repetitions.
- Switch side and repeat sequence.
- 2 sets of 10
Intermediate/Advanced - Butterfly Abduction
- Begin in a cross-legged butterfly position.
- Under control, kick the right leg out to the side.
- Bring the leg back under control and return to the butterfly position.
- Kick the left leg out and return to the butterfly position under control.
- 2 sets of 6
Closing thoughts on TFL pain and hip pain
If you've been consistently using the TFL Warm Up and improving your weak movement patterns then hopefully you're beginning to notice improvement in your TFL pain. You may start noticing that certain movements or exercises are more helpful than others.
I like to tell my clients that finding out an exercise is not helpful is just as important - if not more important - than finding out an exercise is helpful.
Start filtering out the stuff that doesn't work and continuing to improve the stuff that does.
Once your TFL is feeling better and more functional, remember to keep training your hips! Pain is a sign that things are getting out of balance. So if you allow your hip muscles to get out of whack, the pain can come back. And it probably will.
Ultimately, you'll want to keep progressing and challenging yourself in the movement patterns that you have the most difficulty with.
This tutorial provides some great ideas on how to get started, but eventually you'll want to include more variety and difficulty to continue optimizing the all the movement patterns your hips are capable of. And there are A LOT of movement patterns they are capable of!

Gather your supplies. I use a large cast iron skillet for cooking, but any skillet would work.
Start zapping your veggies. I usually just do one bag at a time and add the veggies as they are ready. You can used any combination of veggies, these are just the ones we like.
Prepare quinoa according to package instructions. We keep some pre-made in the fridge. You can use it cold straight from the fridge. I use 3/4-1 package, cause this dish makes great leftovers.
Cover the bottom of the skillet with about a 1/4 inch of olive oil and heat until the oil is hot. Don't use too much oil, just enough to cook the eggs. Too much will make the final product oily.
Crack 6-8 eggs into the hot oil. You can use more or fewer eggs, but I like the eggy chunks in chicken fried rice, so I make mine eggy.
Cook eggs, breaking up occasionally so they don't stick to the pan. I don't scramble them too much, cause I like the chunks of 'fried' egg.
Once eggs are cooked through, add the quinoa to the pan and turn down to medium heat. Mix in with the eggs. Keep stirring throughout because the quinoa will soak up the excess oil then start to stick.
Once the quinoa is warm, mix the veggies into the skillet. You can add veggies as they are ready. I usually break up the big veggie chunks for a better texture.
*Optional: I usually add a tub of chicken stock to add some flavor, but if you want to keep this vegan/vegetarian omit this step. Add chicken stock and mix in thoroughly (until there is none visible).
Serve piping hot. Can serve with soy sauce to taste.
Makes 4 big portions. Also make great leftovers, just zap it until warm and enjoy!
