BkiUd2DxK6wB9mpb2ozW | Review: "Atomic Ape: Swarm" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
Atomic Ape evolved from a band called Orange Tulip Conspiracy led by guitarist Jason Schimmel. There are almost thirty musicians here so you can well imagine this is a 'full' sounding recording. The band's music covers a variety of styles and genres like World, jazz, '60s surf, avant-prog and folk . It is all very eclectic and very progressive. I have to say I have never heard instrumental music quite like this.
The first track "Red Tide" has a darker tone at the beginning and a kind of chaotic approach but in an organized way, if that makes any sense. Did I mention this music is hard to describe? There is an Eastern European slant to the rhythms, almost Gypsy-like in their approach and the surf vibe comes through loud and clear. Cool tune. "The Blind Snake Charmer" has an almost circus-like theme with more Eastern European overtones to the overall sound. "Heraklion" has a lusher sound enriched with cello and viola while the aptly titled "Cabin of the Cursed" is much moodier with a slower tempo and sustained atmospherics relying again on strings to create a dense, eerie sound. The short "Lost Hills" is a tranquil mood laden piece and is a precursor to "Passenger", featuring accordion rhythms, darker themes and Eastern tinged guitar. The '60s surf vibe also pops up as it does in many of these tracks.
The album ends with "Rhythm Futur", a peculiar mix of avant-garde jazz rock, surf and exotic Eastern accents. The horn work transitions between composition and pure improvisation taking the piece in unexpected directions.
This is an adventurous and exciting album from what is clearly a very talented band. If you like your prog a little on the unconventional side I would urge you to give Atomic Ape a listen. Released on Mimicry Records. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

I am looking into Azure Devops Artifacts, and from what I understand, we can create feeds to store those published build artifacts?
From my understanding, those kind of build artifacts my pipeline publishes are considered "Universal Packages"? and If so, I would have to add a Universal Package task like so in order for the build artifact (e.g. Release) to be stored in the Artifacts feed?
- task: UniversalPackages@0
displayName: 'Universal publish'
inputs:
command: publish
vstsFeedPublish: 'feedname'
vstsFeedPackagePublish: test
versionOption: custom
versionPublish: 1.1.0
I had already gone ahead and created a feed, do I just wait for next time I run a pipeline for a Release artifact to show up in the feed? or do I have to add "upstream sources" first? If upstream sources is a required step, I selected "Azure Artifacts feed in this organization" as the upstream source type and then when going over the configuration setting, for some reason, it's complaining that "This feed has no available views to be used as an upstream source" despite defined views as shown here:
A: Based on your requirement, you can use feed to store Build artifacts.
From my understanding, those kind of build artifacts my pipeline publishes are considered "Universal Packages"?
Your understanding is correct. You can use Universal Package Publish task to upload the build artifacts to Azure Feed.
Do i just wait for next time I run a pipeline for a Release artifact to show up in the feed? or do i have to add "upstream sources" first?
You don't need to add upstream sources for the feed.
To publish the Universal Package, you can directly use Universal Package Publish task in Pipeline.
For example:
- task: UniversalPackages@0
displayName: 'Universal publish'
inputs:
command: publish
vstsFeedPublish: 'name'
vstsFeedPackagePublish: kevintest
Result:
To use the published Universal Package, you can directly use Universal Package download task.
For example:
- task: UniversalPackages@0
displayName: 'Universal download'
inputs:
command: download
vstsFeed: 'name'
vstsFeedPackage: 'name'
vstsPackageVersion: 0.0.1

BkiUbRw5qhDACkNVzWg3 | We won't spend too much time on all the parts of the view since it is more about React than it is Alt, however, the important piece is how you listen to stores and get data out of it.
Getting the state out of your store is simple, every alt store has a method which returns its state. The state is copied over as a value when returned so you accidentally don't mutate it by reference. We can use React's getInitialState to set the initial state using the store's state.
But then we'll want to listen to changes once the state in the store is updated. In your react component on componentDidMount you can add an event handler using LocationStore.listen.
And, don't forget to remove your event listener.
A few mixins or a "higher-order-component" are available to make this boilerplate go away. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdDDxaKgTvXx06ss6 | Been relying on willpower to resist your favourite food and drinks? How long can you hold out before giving in? For most of us the answer is "not long at all".
The problem with using willpower as the key strategy to resist temptation is that your head has to keep saying "NO" to the constant barrage of messages, advertising and environmental cues that operate 24/7, prompting you to eat and drink.
"How about cake with that coffee?" "NO"; "It's hot today, want an ice-cream?" "NO"; "A cold drink?" "NO"; "Stressful day, how about a beer?" "NO"; "Been busy? Grab take-away tonight, you deserve it." "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, YES".
Swapping willpower for what I term "Won't-power", where you make a conscious decision to avoid situations that will test your willpower around food, turns the volume down on environmental sirens that call you to eat and drink, even though you are not really hungry.
Won't-power helps bypass cues that prompt cravings and make tasty treats hard to resist. Using won't-power gives you a reprieve from the voices in your head constantly asking whether you want a treat or food reward.
Have you heard the saying – "out of sight is out of mind"? "Wont-power" exploits the "out-of-sight" principle by getting you to identify situations that put you in a position where you're very likely to have to use willpower alone to resist things that you really intended not to eat or drink.
Using "wont-power" delivers peace and quiet in your headspace. Say "no" to being put in a position where you have to use up precious (and limited) willpower in order to stick to your health goals. Save "willpower" for emergencies.
Won't-power is keeping a bowl of fruit in a clear container on your kitchen bench and keeping all other foods out of sight or stored in opaque containers.
Won't-power is deciding to go to the supermarket with a pre-planned list that leaves the biscuits, pre-packaged snacks and ultra-processed foods off the grocery shopping, on purpose. In an intervention to help adults improve their meal planning and diet quality, those who were provided with group education about nutrient rich foods and support tools (pocket guide, shopping list, refrigerator magnet, weekly e-mail messages, and biweekly mailings) were more likely to use the grocery lists, plan meals ahead and eat more vegetables and fruit compared to those in the control group.
Won't-power is having a healthy snack BEFORE meeting friends for coffee, so you do not need to look at a menu and can repeat, like a broken record, "I only want a coffee". A cross-sectional study of more than 22,000 adults in the USA found those who drank coffee or diet drinks had the highest intakes of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods (aka junk).
Won't-power is saying "no" to chocolate and confectionery fund raisers and "yes" to healthy or neutral products (socks, toothbrushes, fruit boxes, pot plants).
Won't-power is having a workplace healthy food policy so meetings always offer water, fruit and healthy choices.
Won't-power is keeping an apple (or other fruit) handy (desk drawer, handbag, backpack, car console) for when hunger strikes, so you don't end up drooling over the snack vending machine. A study that followed more than 130,000 adults for four years found those who increased their intake of apples and pears reduced their weight by half a kilogram for every extra daily piece of fruit they ate.
Won't-power is not overfilling your plate to avoid "clean plate" syndrome which consistently shows people eat about 92% of what they serve themselves. If you are going to "over-fill" – make that with salad and vegetables.
Won't-power is not buying "value" packs of food products and "stocking up". A systematic review of randomised controlled trials that assessed the impact of interventions to reduce the size of food packages, portions, or cups, plates and cutlery found people consistently ate and drank more when offered larger, compared to smaller versions.
Won't-power is taking a walk around the buffet first to see where the healthiest options are located and then starting with these first (aka salad, vegetables and fruit). Research shows you fill your plate, and eat most of what you see first at a buffet. When you are in charge of a setting up the layout for a buffet, place the healthiest food closest to where people will pick up a plate, and place the least healthy items furthest away.
If you want to stop the sabotage of your healthy intentions and prevent autopilot eating, then the time you invest in developing your "won't-power" strategies will be well spent. Plan ahead to de-cue the constant calls to eat and drink things that you do not really want or need. That way you conserve your willpower and save it to use only as a last line of defence.

BkiUbDc5qWTD6eww2tGr | When I first started out, every time I thought about blogging I was filled with the terror of having to come up with a great idea each week. How could I possibly have enough things to say?
Four months later I began to notice something; actually I began to notice a lot of things. Blogging was helping me to become more mindful, what an awesome side effect. Everywhere I turned everyday experiences were providing great content ideas for future blogs.
I created a habit of writing. When I first started there was a lot of stress and anxiety around deciding on a topic and working on the art of blogging. After creating the habit, my fears of blogging began to subside and I was freed up to think about and notice other things.
I believe that an important part of being mindful is curiosity, and it turns out blogging can cultivate a sense of curiosity in our lives.
Oh and it doesn't start there, when you continue to write about topics that you love then people who love those topics too begin to gravitate towards you. You begin to find your tribe, and when that happens the magic starts.
So have more conversations, and pay attention to each conversation you have; to that wonderful barista at that local coffee shop who seems happier than anyone should ever be in the morning, to your grocery store visits, your commute, you Facebook groups, and everything in between.
Everything that happens in our lives has something to tell us, something we can learn, and something we can share. Pay attention, be curious, be attentive, and then…share.
If you are already blogging then good for you, keep it up and see if you are a little bit more mindful for it.
If you haven't started blogging, now is a good time to start, and here are some great resources to help you take that first step.
1. Blog Topic Generator: If you're looking for fun blog topic ideas you can enter in 3 words and the tool will generate 5 blog titles. Remember that this is just a starting point. The idea is to be more mindful about what is going on around you. Use this to help get you thinking about how your personal experiences can be used to provide interesting and useful content to the outside world.
2. Trello: As you begin to think of ideas, Trello is a great place to start to lay out your topics, as well as create a good strategy. I actually run my whole business and team through Trello, but this is a good place to start. You can get it for free here.
3. A voice recording app: There are lots of voice recording apps, but I use the simple Voice Memos app that is already on my iPhone. It's great for times when I don't have time to write something down, but want to make sure I remember an interesting story or idea.
4. WordPress Editorial Calendar Plugin: It's a free and easy way to manage your calendar. It allows you to see a calendar view of your posts and easily enter in draft topics so you can start to lay out your content.
5. A good old fashion journal: If you want to get in the habit of writing, but don't want to have to go digital, then a nice journal is for you. Find one you like and schedule time to write.NOTE: The key to journaling and mindfulness is to write like you're telling someone else about your story. Sometimes when we keep a journal, we write for ourselves, but we were there, we know what happened, so we tend to leave out the great details. Writing like you're talking to someone else helps you write it more like a story.

9. Writers Diet: If you aren't an experienced writer, and even if you are, you should check out this website. Simply paste in your content and it will give you a Fitness Rating based on the types of words you use. It is a fun little tool and it can help you slim down your writing, or at least give you a fresh perspective.
10. Create an Editorial Calendar with Purpose Course: If you haven't heard of Skillshare, it's a great place to get short courses for a small monthly membership fee. I have multiple courses on Skillshare, but this one is great for writers. Check it out and depending on when you read this post, you might get a free week, or a free month, so check it out.
13. 4 Ways I Scaled My Blog & Biz: This is an article by Caitlin Bacher and she is singing my song in this post. She talks about how she uses blogging to help sell her courses and I can't get enough of it. Read it, all of it, and then do what she says…it works.
14. I write like: This site won't really help you write better, but it's too fun not to add. Simply paste in something you have written and it will tell you what famous person you write like. Try it out. It only takes a minute and you might be surprised by what you find out.

I have also run all commands like
*
*Cache clean
*Index
*compilation
but no good luck. Please help on this I have no clue how to fix this issue my site is on live.
A: This looks like it is likely the result of an installer or upgrade script on the module not having run.
The error states that a column is missing on the table - this column should be added by the install or upgrade scripts on the module. If this hasn't run, then the column is not present, hence the error.
There are two things I would suggest here: first, disable the Amasty Extended Product Grid module by setting the <active> node to 'false' in app/etc/modules/amasty_pgrid.xml
Clear the cache, log out of the admin, and browse a few pages on the frontend of the site. Then set the xml node back to 'true' to re-enable the module, then repeat the action of clearing the cache, browse the front-end and then log back in.
This should cause the install script to run again, hopefully correcting the issue.
Second; if the above does not work, then you can also look at the "core_resource" table. Compare the version numbers there to the install scripts in the module's sql folder, and check which script adds the referenced column. It will have a name similar to mysql4-upgrade-1.0.0-1.0.1.php, where the last set of numbers indicates the version number.
Change the version number in core_resource to be lower than that script, e.g. if the script is mysql4-upgrade-2.3.4-2.3.5.php, then change the value in core_resource to 2.3.4. This will cause it to re-run that upgrade script, and hopefully resolve the issue.
If you remove all core_resource entries for the module, it will force the installer to re-run completely as if it had never been then installed.
NOTE: This can cause further issues, and should not be done in production or without taking a backup first

BkiUdwk25V5jDmnnwCYr | Stanford Email Gets a Refresh With Office 365
University IT is continuing to make progress toward moving Stanford's email and calendar system to Office 365 during the summer of 2015. Office 365 is Microsoft's cloud offering that will increase the email quota for individual users at Stanford to 50 GB.
Over the past month, we've migrated more than 600 staff in University IT and partner groups in distributed IT. They've had their email, calendar, tasks, and contact information moved to Office 365 and have been using the new service as their primary email and calendar tool. While these pilots haven't been flawless, they have been immensely helpful in refining the process, creating needed documentation, planning support services, and identifying concerns. All of that will help make the transition that much smoother for the rest of campus transitioning to Office 365 in the coming months.
The rest of you will make the change during July and August during one of five scheduled rollouts: July 13, July 20, July 27, Aug. 3, and Aug. 10.
Graduate students are scheduled on July 13, and we are working with our IT partners across the campus and the CIO Council to determine which groups will be part of the subsequent rollouts. We expect to move entire schools and departments together as best we can. You'll be hearing more about the schedule as we move closer to the change.
In the meantime, go to the University IT website for additional news and updates and information on some things you can do to prepare.

Best Alternative:
Acer Chromebase at EBay
"Easy to learn and perfect for both new and older computer users."
Best Design:
Lenovo Lenovo IdeaCentre A540 at Best Buy
"This stunning all-in-one PC features a 27-inch WQHD touch-screen display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio"
Best for Business:
HP HP Pavilion 24 at Amazon
"If you're looking for a solid all-in-one PC that you (and your business) can rely upon, we suggest checking out HP's Pavilion 24."
Best Splurge:
Apple iMac Pro at Best Buy
"Apple's products have never been known to be affordable, but the latest iMac Pro really takes things to the next level."
Best For Media Consumption:
Dell XPS 27-7760 at Amazon
"Powered by Intel's sixth-generation Core i7-6700 processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and a 2TB HDD"
There's no denying the fact that laptops and desktops are arguably the two most popular form factors that you can get a personal computer (PC) in. While the former offers the convenience of being portable, the latter is often preferred by users who want a more powerful machine that can be used in a fixed home/office setting. But what if you want something of an "in-between"? Well in that case, you should go for an "All-In-One" PC.
Essentially, an All-In-One (AIO) is a personal computer that offers some benefits of a traditional desktop PC (e.g. large display, expandable hardware), while also including a few advantages (e.g. minimal overall footprint, minimal wire clutter, easy portability) that are typically associated with laptops.
As exciting as it is though, choosing an AIO is no cakewalk since there are dozens of them out there with all kinds of hardware/software configurations. To make things easier for you, we've rounded up some of the best all-in-one PCs currently available in the market.
Best Overall: iMac 21.5 4K
Buy on Best Buy Buy on Apple Buy on B&H Photo Video
Great overall performance
Amazing hardware-software integration
What We Don't Like
Windows users might not feel at home
Powerful and feature-loaded in equal measure, Apple's newest iMac is definitely the best all-in-one PC you can buy today. It's built around a gorgeous 21.5-inch 5K "Retina" display that sports a resolution of 5120x2880 pixels and supports a billion colors. Powering the machine is Intel's ninth-generation Core i9 processor, paired with 32GB of DDR4 RAM.
Our recommended configuration also comes with a 1TB SSD, which should be more than enough for all your documents and other digital files. For handling games and other resource-intensive tasks, there's AMD's Radeon Pro 580X GPU with 8GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory. As far as connectivity and I/O options are concerned, the iMac includes four USB 3.0 (Type-A) ports, two Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C, with additional support for DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, and VGA via adapters) ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a 3.5mm audio port, and an SDXC card slot. Among other notable features are Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2, stereo speakers, as well as an integrated "FaceTime" HD webcam.
Best Alternative: Acer Chromebase
1080p edge-to-edge display
Includes HD camera for conferencing
Supports Google Android apps
Limited OS
Not much internal storage
While Windows 10 and Apple's Mac certainly rule the roost, Google's Chrome OS isn't lying down and, with the addition of Android apps earlier this year, the platform is ramping up to be a true contender. Released in mid-2016, Acer's Chromebase offers a change of pace from the software you've known for years with something that's arguably far easier to learn and perfect for both new and older computer users. Based on Google's Chrome browser, the Chromebase is powered by an Intel Celeron 3215U processor, 4GB of RAM and a 16GB SSD. Unlike Windows and Mac, the Chromebase strength is in the cloud, so the lack of hard drive memory is rarely a concern.
The 1920 x 1080 23.8-inch Full HD edge-to-edge display offers 10-point touch and a variety of ports on the rear, including USB 3.0. The included HD conferencing camera helps Acer position the Chromecase as perfect for the boardroom or the home with video options like Google+ and, ultimately, Skype through the inclusion of Google's Android apps. The two stereo speakers provide more than enough volume to be heard on a conference call, as well as play movies or YouTube clips without missing a beat, while the four microphones make sure the other side hears you just as clearly. Ultimately, the Chromebase provides an interesting conundrum. Can you do your work or personal stuff in a browser? For some, the lack of dedicated apps like they've grown accustomed to on Windows or Apple's hardware for years will be hard to give up, but for others, the simplistic approach with just a browser to rely on may be enough to do everything they need without spending a fortune.
The 9 Best Budget PCs in 2021
Best Design: Lenovo IdeaCentre A540
Buy on Best Buy Buy on Lenovo Buy on Officedepot.com
IR camera with privacy protection
Low internal storage
Computers today are no longer just essential tools, they've become lifestyle accessories. As such, it's only fitting that they look just as good as they perform, a case in point being Lenovo's IdeaCentre A540. With its design inspired by the cypress tree, this stunning all-in-one PC features a 27-inch WQHD touch-screen display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The machine's two-part construction involves the panel and the base (both having a mineral-gray finish), which are connected using a pipe-like stand (with a copper-gold finish) that further accentuates the overall aesthetic appeal.
Our recommended configuration comes with Intel's ninth-generation Core i5 processor, coupled with 12GB of DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD. The base's top doubles up as a Qi wireless charging mat, allowing you to conveniently juice up your (compatible) smartphone's battery while you work. The IdeaCentre A540 is big on audio too, featuring two tweeters (each with a 3-watt power output) and a 5-watt subwoofer. There are Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless connectivity, and I/O options include four USB Type-A ports, a USB Type-C port, two HDMI ports (one In and one Out), an Ethernet port, a 3.5mm combo audio port, and a 3-in-1 SD card reader.
The 7 Best Desktop PCs of 2021
Best for Business: HP Pavilion 24
Buy on Amazon Buy on EBay
Immersive audio output
Touch-enabled display
Somewhat pricey (considering the spec sheet)
If you're looking for a solid all-in-one PC that you (and your business) can rely upon, we suggest checking out HP's Pavilion 24. Featuring an elegant and no-nonsense design, it's built around a 23.8-inch Full-HD touch-enabled display having a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The machine is powered by AMD's Ryzen 5 2600H processor, paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 2TB SATA HDD. You also get an integrated Radeon Vega 8 GPU, which is more than capable of handling (some) resource-heavy tasks.
The machine's built-in dual speakers (tuned by B&O) deliver a rich audio output, and there's also a Full-HD pop-up webcam and dual-microphone setup included in the mix. Speaking of connectivity and I/O options, the Pavilion 24 includes two HDMI ports (one In and one Out), three USB Type-A ports, two USB Type-C ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm combo audio port, in addition to Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. Running Windows 10 Home out of the box, the PC ships with a wireless keyboard and an optical mouse.
Best Splurge: Apple iMac Pro
Buy on Best Buy Buy on Apple
Powerhouse performance
Ability to drive multiple high-res external displays
Insanely expensive
Apple's products have never been known to be affordable, but the latest iMac Pro really takes things to the next level. If you simply want a powerhouse all-in-one PC and money is absolutely no object, we have no qualms recommending this one. Its 21.5-inch 5K "Retina" display is a sight to behold, boasting a resolution of 5120x2880 pixels and support for a billion colors (over the P3 color gamut).
The machine's beastly spec sheet includes a server-grade ninth-generation Intel Xeon W CPU, 32GB of DDR4 ECC RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Also included in the package is AMD's Radeon Pro Vega 56 GPU with 8GB of HBM2 memory, which allows the iMac Pro to make quick work of even the most-demanding of computing tasks with little effort.
There are a plethora of I/O options on offer, including four USB 3.0 (Type-A) ports, four Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C, with support for DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI, DVI, and VGA via adapters) ports, a 3.5mm audio port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, and an SDXC card slot. You also get Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, stereo speakers, a four-microphone array, and built-in 1080p "FaceTime" HD webcam. And of course, all this goodness comes packed in a gorgeous aluminum chassis that looks even better in its "Space Gray" finish.
Best For Media Consumption: Dell XPS 27-7760
All major connectivity options included
Somewhat dated hardware
If you're the kind of person who likes to watch a lot of movies and TV shows on their computer, Dell's XPS 27-7760 is the perfect All-In-One PC for you. It sports a gorgeous 27-inch 4K display with a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The panel covers 100 percent of Adobe RGB color space, resulting in lifelike visuals and accurate colors at all times. However, the true star of the show is the machine's ten-speaker sound system, comprising two tweeters, four full-range drivers, two passive radiators, and two down-firing full-range speakers.
Designed in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Jack Joseph Puig, it delivers a sound output that you have to hear to believe. The Dell XPS 27-7760 is powered by Intel's sixth-generation Core i7-6700 processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and a 2TB HDD. It also gets AMD's Radeon R9 M470X GPU with 4GB of DDR5 memory for handling games and resource-heavy tasks. There's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, while I/O ports include USB (Type-A and Type-C), HDMI, DisplayPort, 3.5mm audio, and Gigabit Ethernet.
The 10 Best Home Theater PCs of 2021
When it comes to choosing an all-in-one PC (or anything other gadget, for that matter!), there really can't be a "one size fits all" solution, since everyone has a different set of requirements. However, even though every single one of the above-detailed options is great in its own right, our vote goes to Apple's iMac. Why? Simply because it offers a well-balanced and powerful computing experience out of the box, one that's enhanced further with the excellent hardware-software cohesiveness. It's true that it comes with macOS and not Windows, but that's a minor issue (if it can even be called that!) that can be easily rectified using Apple's own "Boot Camp" utility.
Our expert reviewers and editors evaluate AIO PCs based on design, performance, specs, functionality, and features. We test their real-life performance in actual use cases, including lightweight productivity like browsing and multitasking, to more computationally intense loads like high-resolution gaming or video editing/rendering. Our testers also consider each AIO as a value proposition—whether or not a product justifies its price tag, and how it compares to competitive products. All of the models we reviewed were purchased by Lifewire; none of the review units were furnished by the manufacturer or retailer.

What to Look for When Buying AIO's
Screen size - With regular desktop PCs, you can just buy a new monitor if you need more screen real estate. The convenience of all-in-one PCs is a double edged sword, since you're stuck with the size you choose. Make sure that the screen you get is big enough and has a high enough resolution.
Touch input - In addition to a mouse and keyboard, some all-in-one PCs also have touchscreens. This is a great option to look for if you prefer a touch interface, but it can also allow your PC to double as a drawing tablet if you're a creative type. Some all-in-ones are even designed from the ground up for this purpose.
Connectivity - Since upgrading an all-in-one is usually difficult or impossible, it's important to make sure that it has all of the ports and other connectivity you'll ever need. Choose one with WiFi if connecting to your router via ethernet isn't an option. Look for one with HDMI ports if you want to connect a second monitor, and don't forget about USB ports, card readers, headphone jacks, or anything else you might want to connect to your all-in-one in the future.

BkiUbHU4dbjiU69Df_UB | According to research conducted by Censuswide for the Chartered Institute of Marketing, a quarter of consumers (25%) claimed to have seen a fake online review, up from 17% when the survey was last conducted in 2014. Some 21% also say they have seen a brand incentivise customers to share positive comments on social media without making it clear to other users (up from 14% in 2014), while 16% said they had seen brands pay someone for promotion without declaring the payment.
The research comes on the back of some high-profile examples of dishonest use of social media, including both Procter & Gamble and Mondelez having content banned by the Advertising Standards Authority for not making it clear a vlogger had been paid to promote products.
"This has led to consumers querying if what they are seeing is genuine. There is growing awareness of certain practices out there, brands should be wary," says CIM CEO Chris Daly.

The lack of trust is also filtering through to the social platforms brands use. Some 30% of consumers say they now have little or no trust in brand information they see on Facebook, up from 20% in 2014. That increase is matched at Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
Facebook is still the most important social network, with 32% turning to it to help them make purchasing decisions, ahead of YouTube (18%), review sites (17%) and Twitter (14%).
This should be of concern to brands because consumers are increasingly turning to social media as a key source of information when making purchase decisions. Some 62% of people questioned by CIM said they now 'always', 'often' or 'occasionally' use social media when deciding whether to make a purchase, up from just 17% in 2014. Some 29% have searched for a specific brand, while 25% use social media to make general searches.
"Consumer are looking for reassurance on social media that the restaurant they have booked for a special occasion or laptop they are thinking of buying is the right choice.
"Social media is a key source for information which makes the reduction in trust a worrying trend for brands. They need up their game in keeping on the right side of the law.
CIM believes the results should set alarm bells ringing for brands that use social media to market to consumers. The findings suggest widespread breaches of the UK ad code, as well as possible illegal activities that could see brands reprimanded by the Competition and Markets Authority.
This despite extensive proactive work undertaken by the Advertising Standards Authority to engage with, raise awareness of and provide advice and training to marketers. A previous CIM report found that 52% of marketers have little or no understanding of regulations about marketing on social media.
CIM has issued guidelines to help brands navigate social media. These include making sure marketers know the rules, are equipped with the right skills and knowledge, have a social media policy and talk about it with customers.
One of the categories in this year's Masters of Marketing Awards celebrates excellence in social media marketing.
Morrisons has made a conscious effort not to use social media platforms to push sales-based messages according to its marketing director Andy Atkinson, who adds that the supermarket's new Easter campaign is giving the brand a 'heavyweight' feel. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 3 |

We are so very sad and sorry to hear of Chris' passing. Our deepest condolences are with you. We will never forget Chris and how sweet she always was to our family the three years we lived next door. She was always there with a kind smile to invite us over from the very day we moved in.

She was always so sweet and thoughtful. Our prayers are with you as you grieve. Sending you all a big hug and our prayers from across the country.
I am sorry to hear of the lost of your sweet Christine my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

Arbitration System Matters
Types of claims
Arbitration System: NATIONAL CONSUMER ARBITRATION BOARD – MEMBER ESTABLISHMENT
IBERDROLA COMERCIALIZACIÓN DE ÚLTIMO RECURSO, S.A.U. and IBERDROLA CLIENTES S.A.U. have adhered to the Consumer Arbitration System covering all of Spain through the Regional Arbitration Boards for the resolution of any conflicts arising with their customers.
Thus, if you lodge a claim against Iberdrola through the channels it makes available: Claims Service telephone number 900 225 235, e-mail clientes@iberdrola.es, the form below or any of our Customer service points, and it has not been resolved within 30 days, you may contact the Arbitration Board in your region for any matters which are the responsibility of the retailer.
Arbitration System Matters: MATTERS THAT MAY BE SUBMITTED TO THE CONSUMER ARBITRATION SYSTEM
The customer may file the claims deemed pertinent concerning contracted electricity or natural gas supplies through any of the channels made available by Iberdrola.
If a satisfactory response is not received within 30 days, if the supply is located in the autonomous regions of Aragon, Asturias, Castile-La Mancha, Castile and León, Catalonia, the Valencia Region, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja or Navarre, and if the claim concerns any of the cases for which IBERDROLA has submitted its resolution to arbitration due to the responsibility being held by the retailer, the customer may direct the claim unto the corresponding Regional Arbitration Board.
What is?: OUT-OF-COURT SYSTEM FOR RESOLVING CONFLICTS BETWEEN CONSUMERS AND PROFESSIONALS
The Consumer Arbitration System is defined as an out-of-court system for conflict resolution between consumers and users and companies or professionals through which, without requiring special formalities and with a binding, executive nature applicable to both parties, claims of consumers and users are resolved as long as the conflict neither implies intoxication, injury or death, nor reasonable evidence of an offence
Through the Consumer Arbitration System, the parties voluntarily submit to an arbitration panel -which acts upon principles of impartiality, independence and confidentiality- the decision on the controversy or conflict between them.
This decision, which is binding on both parties, has the same effect as a legal ruling.
The basic regulations of the Consumer Arbitration System are contained in:
Articles 57 and 58 of Legislative Royal Decree 1/2007, dated 16 November, which approves the revised text of the General Act for the Defence of Consumers and Users and other complementary regulations.
Royal Decree 231/2008, dated 15 February, which regulates the Consumer Arbitration System.
As regards matters not included in these regulations, the provisions of the Arbitration Act 60/2003, dated 23 December, will apply and, as regards electronic arbitration and proceedings carried out via electronic means, Act 11/2007, dated 22 June, on electronic access by citizens to public services will apply.
The activity of the Consumer Arbitration Boards, which are administrative bodies, is governed by the provisions of Royal Decree 231/2008, dated 15 February, and by Act 30/1992, dated 26 November, on the Legal Regime of Public Administrations and Common Administrative Procedure.
Types of claims: WHAT TYPES OF CLAIMS MAY BE RESOLVED THROUGH THE CONSUMER ARBITRATION SYSTEM?
Conflicts which arise from claims made by consumers or users who are titleholders of a supply/services contract for electricity, gas, and other products and services with IBERDROLA COMERCIALIZACIÓN DE ÚLTIMO RECURSO S.A.U. or with IBERDROLA CLIENTES S.A.U. may be submitted to arbitration in the following circumstances:
When the discrepancy arises exclusively in relation to matters for which the retailer is responsible: customer service, contracts, billing and collections.
Those matters for which the distribution companies are responsible are expressly excluded, in accordance with applicable legislation: grid expansion, granting of grid access, metering, readings, inspection, supply quality including the continuity/interruption of supply and possible damage caused by incidents in the electrical grid.
When the claim has already been filed with the Iberdrola Customer Service department.
Nevertheless, the following may not be subject to the consumer arbitration process:
Matters for which a firm and final legal ruling exists.
Those issues over which the parties are not entitled to dispose.
Those matters in which, according to legislation, the intervention of the Public Prosecutor is required may not be submitted to the Consumer Arbitration Board.
In the event of intoxication, injury, death or reasonable evidence of an offence.
Civil liability for damages directly derived of intoxication, injury, death or acts in which reasonable evidence of criminal offence exists.
Procedure: CONSUMER ARBITRATION SYSTEM PROCEDURE
Procedure: HOW DO THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WORK?
These start with the submission of a Request for Arbitration, which may be filed directly with the relevant Consumer Arbitration Board or through a Consumers' Association.
Once the request is received, it is evaluated to confirm that it meets the legally established requirements and that the claim may be resolved by the Consumer Arbitration Board.
In those cases where Iberdrola is a member of the System in that Regional Community, the President of the Arbitration Board sets the start date of the arbitration proceedings.
When there are no grounds for rejecting the Request for Arbitration and unless the parties are opposed to mediation, or it has already been tried previously without resulting in an agreement between them, the Consumer Arbitration Board, through the proceedings established by each, will make an attempt for the parties to reach an agreement without requiring the intervention of the arbitrators.
The mediators, as is the case with the arbitrators, are bound by the principles of impartiality, independence and confidentiality.
The time allowed for mediation may imply a one month suspension of the maximum time period granted for issuing a decision (6 months).
Arbitration panel
Once the arbitration proceedings being, the President of the Board, according to the list of certified arbitrators for the Consumer Arbitration Board, will appoint a single arbitrator or arbitration board to resolve the conflict.
A single arbitrator is assigned:
When the parties so agree.
Unless the parties object, by decision of the President of the Consumer Arbitration Board, as long as the amount subject to discrepancy is less than €300, and the matter is not sufficiently complicated to advise otherwise.
The single arbitrator will be appointed amongst the certified arbitrators proposed by the public administration unless the parties, by mutual agreement, request for reasons of specialization that another certified arbitrator be appointed.
In all other cases, the matter will be dealt with by an arbitration panel composed of three certified arbitrators, each one selected from those proposed by:
the Public Administration,
the consumers' and users' associations, and
professional or business organisations.
The arbitrators will act collectively, and the arbitrator proposed by the Administration will act as president. Nevertheless, the parties, through mutual agreement, may request the appointment of a President of the arbitration board other than the one proposed by the public administration when the specialised nature of the claim so requires.
Procedure: PLEADINGS BY THE PARTIES AND HEARING
Arbitration is processed through the electronic consumer arbitration channel by the Consumer Arbitration System On-line Office. Through this on-line system, the parties will be heard and provided with all the documents, pleadings or evidence submitted. In particular, the parties will be required to answer the request and attend the hearing, during which they may provide any information they deem of interest concerning the existing conflict.
At any time prior to the end of the hearing, the parties may modify or expand their Request and defence, even considering a counter-claim against the claimant.
The Arbitrator shall request any evidence deemed pertinent, either on his own initiative or that of the parties.
When the evidence is decided by operation of law, it will be paid for by the Administration on which the Consumer Arbitration Board depends. When it is proposed by the parties, these must bear the cost.
The Procedure ends with an arbitration award, similar to a legal ruling, which resolves the conflict and is considered a final decision.
In the event that the parties reach an agreement on their own while the proceedings are under way, this agreement will be formalized as an award of conciliation, which will also have the same force as a legal ruling.
The arbitration award may only be subject to a Cancellation Appeal before the Provincial Court, within a period of two months as of the notification to the interested parties, and an Appeal for Review, in accordance with the provisions set forth in legislation on proceedings related to final legal rulings.

BkiUbxvxK7Ehm2ZQzfKq | Can art be objective? This is the question that Viennese concept artist Hermann J. Painitz (b. 1938) addresses. This monograph focuses particularly on the period between the 1960s and 1970s, providing a detailed picture of his extraordinary and highly topical work. This is characterised by his intention to create a type of art that is based on verifiable laws: art as language. Painitz deals with the philosophy of language and develops semiotic systems based on pictograms or objects. His work also includes several theoretical essays and poems. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Some candidates may prefer to have them returned for "the next time"! Ask before you recycle and please don't just throw them in the trash!
Old candidate signs make great garage sale signs come spring! Cover them with poster board and, voila, big easy to read direction sings to your garage sales!
Those stakes become expensive. I know Park Ridge Holiday Lights, Go Green, Newcomers Club, and lots of other great organizations could reuse them and save some money at the same time. Great idea to collect them, recycle, and reuse!

Basically, it explains the process used nowadays to print the full color you see in labels and other print products. During the process, a color image is split into four different primary colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) using screens and filters. The result? A color separation of the images, making up the rich full color printed image.

An interview with Beach Valley
Back in December 2003 when I first arrived in Korea, the only punk venue in town was Club Drug. By that time, Drug wasn't doing so well, with Crying Nut off in the army and rent rising on a venue with no liquor licence. I went to one show at Drug which turned out to be its last. One of the bands playing there was ska-punk group Beach Valley, and to the best of all our recollections, this may have actually been their last show too.
Now, over ten years later, Beach Valley is reuniting to play the New Generation of Ska Festival, and maybe more? I interviewed several members of the band to get everyone ready for this very unexpected, very welcomed comeback.
I was surprised when I saw Beach Valley listed among the New Generation of Ska Festival bands. I saw you play in 2003, in Drug's last show before it turned into Skunk Hell. When was your last show and why did Beach Valley stop playing?
Ki Sun : First, Thanks for asking us to have this interview. Beach Valley's last performance was around 2004. Actually I don't really remember when we had the last show. At that time, we didn't plan to have a final show. There were many different reasons we stopped playing. Although we stopped, we didn't consider the band disbanded, because all members have been friends for a long time.
Chang Min : In my memory, it was around the time when Club Drug changed to Skunk (Dec '03 - Jan '04). I had started playing music for own happiness, but I got tired of the small punk scene and playing for no financial reward. I also had the problem of military service, and the other members were aiming for different musical purposes.
Hae Won : I don't remember the last time we played. I think we separated to go in different musical directions.
How did you decide to reunite Beach Valley? Are you back for good, or is this the only show?
Ki Sun : Sometimes we joked around about reuniting, but when we thought about having the chance to have a fun time and make some good memories, we decided to get back together. Yet we don't know what we are going to do after the ska festival. The one thing we are sure about is we are not going to disband. Now we have some peace of mind to play and enjoy music with our good friends.
Hae Won : For this show we talked about having a reunion since we are all together. It is not a one-time thing. I think we came back as workers who play in a punk band.
What have you been doing over the years?
Ki Sun : After I left Beach Valley, I played in the band No.1 Korean, then I went to do military service at the age of 30, which is a bit older than usual. MyeongKwon played in TodayXSpot, and he is still playing in that band and the band Golden Ticket.
Chang Min : After I left Beach Valley, I played in the band Beam Eyes Beam which has disbanded, and now I am preparing a solo project called Angelic Youth. For my job, I am running a convenience store. I live with my family and I think they supported me a lot through the hard times when I was out of the band.
Hae Won : Now I am working in IT. Haha. After I quit Beach Valley, I kept playing in the Hongdae punk scene. The bands I played in were Cockrasher, Half Brothers, Dubspain, Lazybone, Skrew Attack, TodayXSpot, No.1 Korean and so on.
Chang Hoon : During the time, I was vocalist in the band TodayXSpot.
Ji Woo : After we disbanded, I served in the military, then played at several jazz clubs and big bands. During that time, I studied and graduated university.
Let's talk about the old days. When did Beach Valley form? What was the music scene like then?
Chang Min : Probably when we were freshmen in high school? I guess Ki Sun remembers exactly. The punk scene at that time was just too small to be called a punk scene. I remember there were a lot more punk bands than these days, but their actions spoke louder than their musical ability as punk bands. At the time, hardcore and punk bands had strong unity so they would often play together. Hardcore bands would support us at the same show until we finished our turn.
Ki Sun : I don't recall when we formed exactly. We made the band in high school. It was around 1998 I think. At that time, we started to copy the songs of a band called 18Cruk. After that, around 2000, we named the band Beach Valley and started really playing ska-punk.
Hae Won : Beach Valley was the band that our close friends made ambitiously when we were in high school. I think the name was different but we chanced it when we started to play in Hongdae, at the age of 20. The punk scene at that time...was hot. Hahahaha.
Was there much ska or ska-punk around in those days?
Chang Min : Lazybone started to play beforehand. I remember that we and Lazybone were the only bands with brass players.
Ki Sun : At that time, I remember there were some ska/ska-punk bands. There were Lazybone, Sunshine Bay, SkinPops, BrassMan and Bull-Hwa-Show. I think Lazybone is older than Beach Valley. We get along together and we love their music. It's a different story, but after we had stopped playing, our drummer Hae Won also played in Lazybone. Also Lazybone bassist Kyeong-Soon used to say "You guys considered us as rivals?" jokingly, but our rival at that time was the handsome band Unroot.
Hae Won : Lazybone was older than us. I think Lazybone was the only ska-punk band at that time.
I recall that Beach Valley worked with Skunk Label as well as Drug Records. What is your experience with both labels? Did they cooperate with each other, or was there a rivalry?
Chang Min : Skunk had the feeling more of a "crew," meanwhile Drug was a lot more like a "label." These were both punk labels but rather than being cooperative they didn't care much about each other. Drug was the 101 club for newbies of punk music, and Skunk was more professional and deep.
Ki Sun : We wanted to press a new album. At that time we were contacting with labels like Drug, Skunk, GMC, and we chose Drug. It was bit of a dilemma when we decided to be with Drug Records. I was worrying that many of my friends at Skunk were going to hate us, but they were very supportive and together with us. I was very happy with that.
Hae Won : I have good memories of Skunk, since it was where I chose to start a band in Hongdae. I talked a lot with other bands there, and it was a very familiar atmosphere. However Drug was a very united place with original members, so it was hard for newbies on the scene to get along with them. But it doesn't mean that there was a rivalry.
How many live music clubs did you play at back then?
Ki Sun : Slugger, WASP, Skunk Hell in Sinchon, Time to Rock in Apgujeong, Rolling Stones, Jammers, Freebird, Drug, DGBD, Club Heavy in Daegu and so on. But the most memorable place was a club in Sindaebang (I don't remember the name though). I played there every week when I just started to play in bands. At that club, I got to know Lee Jaehyuk, who plays drums in the band Patients now.
Do you think the scene was better back then, or now? How has it changed?
Ki Sun : It hasn't changed that much. As always people collect 10 bucks at the after-party like back in the days (sometimes it is more than 10 bucks though...). I loved the punk scene at that time, and also the people in the scene nowadays -- friends and brothers.
Chang Min : The punk scene is still growing up, and still there are many good bands appearing on the scene after 2002 when punk was booming. Even if Korea has problems like military service and a low population, our punk juniors are working hard, and I believe their hard work will make this scene better. Personally I think after-parties were better in the old days but nowadays more bands are playing better music.
Hae Won : The old punk scene was more fascinating. Punk is not all about good musical skill.
Myung Kwon : It's meaningless to say when the scene was better, and I think it changed a lot after a long time. There was a flowing of culture but it was weaker than the scene of these days. In the old days, the band-centred movement was active, but now the culture which includes punk affects a lot in the scene.
Chang Hoon : It was 100 times cooler and more romantic around the early 2000s. There were many different genres too.

BkiUdVA25V5isMEL7Dr0 | Antonio Sabato Jr.: Rep. Maxine Waters is the 'hustler of hate'
Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. called California's Rep. Maxine Waters "the hustler of hate" and called for her imprisonment.
Marc Rod (CNN)
(CNN) — Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. called California's Rep. Maxine Waters "the hustler of hate" and called for her imprisonment.
"Maxine Waters, I call her the hustler of hate," Sabato, an actor and California congressional candidate best known for his roles on "General Hospital" and "Melrose Place" and for speaking at the 2016 Republican National Convention, said in an interview Monday with CNN's Chris Cuomo on "Cuomo Prime Time."
"Promoting hate and division and actually attacking the administration or anybody who's involved with this administration. That's unheard-of. She should be put behind bars and throw away the key," Sabato said.
Sabato's remarks came in response to comments from Waters on Saturday encouraging supporters to publicly confront members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet and "tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
Sabato went on to accuse the California Democrat of corruption.
"She should definitely be arrested for all of the crime that she's done in that neighborhood. She makes millions of dollars, lives in Beverly Hills," he said. "How do you make millions of dollars by making what, 200, 250 a year. Where's she making all this money? It's corruption to the max."
According to a 2015 Los Angeles Times article, Waters lives in the South Los Angeles neighborhood of Vermont Knolls, not in Beverly Hills. Her home is now one-tenth of a mile out of California's 43rd District, which she represents, due to redistricting.
Sabato, who's running in the 26th District, further accused Waters of failing to properly represent and support her district.
"Her constituents are dying on the streets, are homeless all over the place, and she's walking away like saying everything's OK, our neighbors are fine," he said. "Why don't you go live in your neighborhood and why don't you go live and surround yourself with your community and help them physically, be there."
According to the Los Angeles Times, "Waters' 43rd District is about a three-minute walk from her front door around the corner and across Vermont Avenue."

BkiUb7PxK02iP1lCXQQl | So you've come up with a wonderful concept and a vision to form a nonprofit organization. Yet where do you start? Right here we've given your road map to get a brand-new nonprofit off the ground with sustainability constantly in mind legalzoom political action legalzoom political action.
The process of creating as well as incorporating a nonprofit resembles a company, besides a couple of distinctions. legalzoom political action A nonprofit can not be formed from any one of the following entities: Sole Proprietorship, Limited Obligation Firm or a Company "C" or "S".
A nonprofit, like a corporation, is a lawful entity different from the creator( s); it could survive the life of its creator( s) as well as could exist definitely. Unlike a corporation that is owned legalzoom political action by its shareholders, a nonprofit does not have shareholders and is not possessed by any individual, however is managed by the board of directors. The various other unique distinction between a corporation as well as a nonprofit is just how the earnings is taxed. Currently, let's take you through the process.
Tip One: Employee a Board of Supervisors. A board should consist of diverse depiction from the following: finance, lawful, a person that represents or is considered an expert when it come to your goal, a person who represents the people you exist to serve, local company executive( s) – legalzoom political action particularly from a company who has the tendency to money organizations like yours, community/professional volunteer( s) – individuals with a network of riches, as well as another nonprofit exec. Make sure that you work summary in place which plainly shows board participant assumptions, consisting of all information pertaining to your nonprofit. Assumptions legalzoom political action should include governance, financial support, as well as hands-on management. You do not want a board of directors that feels "simply showing up" meets their task. Lastly, you never ever quit trying to find great board participants. Your board must have a set period to make sure there is constantly space for fresh faces, ideas, and connections.
Tip Two: Development Meeting. The formation conference is a conference of the initial board of supervisors to vote on integrating and also seeking the tax exception standing as well as to develop the function of the nonprofit. During this meeting and all succeeding board conferences, see to it to take conference minutes to show a consentaneous agreement by the board prior to moving on legalzoom political action.
Step Three: Calling Your Nonprofit. Call option is important due to the fact that it identifies your function as well as develops your identification as well as identity and also brand. Choose your company name like you select your kid's name-repeat it commonly, pretend to address the phone utilizing the name to hear if it has a good ring to it. You could choose virtually legalzoom political action any name you want for your organization as long as it is not already being used. You could inspect name availability on your state's controling internet site to see if it is readily available prior to you submit it. Generally, this is the secretary of state's workplace.
Step 4: Incorporate. The incorporation process resembles that of a firm. The Articles of Incorporation are ready as well as filed with the state's controling body; once again, normally the Secretary of State's workplace. Some states have example short articles which you can get and use in drafting your articles, nonetheless, satisfying the state's minimum declaring need does not always imply you satisfy the IRS's needs. legalzoom political action See to it you effectively as well as thoroughly draft posts of incorporation that fulfill the demands of the Internal Revenue Service if you prepare to look for federal tax exemption; which you will. There is a declaring fee associated with this procedure paid to the state. The cost for the state is usually around $100; the declaring charge for your tax-exempt condition is around $850.
Tip 5: The Laws. You are needed to prepare laws for your nonprofit. Laws are the guidelines utilized by the board to regulate your nonprofit. The majority of states do not call for a copy of the laws to be filed with the state. Regardless of declaring needs, it is a state legislation needs that an incorporated entity have created bylaws. The Internal Revenue Service will certainly require a duplicate of the bylaws to be filed with your application for tax-exemption.
Tip 6: Acquire your Federal Company Identification Number (EIN). When you have actually completed your documentation, you will certainly have to obtain an Employer Recognition Number (EIN) also known as a government tax ID from the IRS. You could do this quickly as well as quickly online. Remember to print out a duplicate for your permanent records. You will certainly additionally need a duplicate to submit to the IRS with your tax obligation exception application. To look for your EIN check out the Internal Revenue Service's website. It is important to note that just holding an EIN number does not suggest you are approved as a 501( c) 3 by your state or the IRS. You could increase money for your company prior to approval. legalzoom political action However, be mindful that typically, providing organizations require an accepted 501( c) 3 and will certainly request for a copy of your accepted standing letter.
Step 7: Application for tax obligation exemption to the Internal Revenue Service. After you have actually incorporated your nonprofit and acquired your EIN, then you can start your tax exemption application to the Internal Revenue Service making use of Internal Revenue Service Type 1023. The kind could be acquired at the IRS website. This is a comprehensive application. You should thoroughly review the directions, learn more about the legislations of compliance, complete the application, and also accumulate & assemble the accessories. Working with an expert to assist you is very suggested. If you are trying to do this by yourself, the Internal Revenue Service estimates a few hundred hrs are required to complete this application. After your first testimonial, complete the application to the 'letter' of their guideline. If your application is not clear or missing essential details, it will certainly be returned to you for more information. If it does not fit within the tax obligation exception guidelines, it will certainly be refuted. As mentioned over, there is a charge associated with this application; approximately $850. The charge changes periodically, so make certain to inspect the declaring cost prior to you send the application. The IRS is presently taking between 6-8 months to appoint the application to an exempt organization specialist. If your application is accepted, you will get a "Letter of Determination" that categorizes your company as tax obligation exempt. The wonderful aspect of this long process is that the day of your exemption is retroactive to the day that the Internal Revenue Service initially received your application. This implies that if you did receive a contribution requiring 501( c) 3 status prior to your approval, you will inevitably remain in compliance with the funding company and also the Internal Revenue Service. Yet, it is not recommended to increase funds on the surface till you obtain your Letter of Resolution.
State Tax Obligation Exemption. Many states identify as well as accept the federal tax exception "Letter of Decision." However, there is a handful of states that have added state requirements to be revenue tax exempt for state objectives. You will certainly need to consult your state's regulating body to see if there are added state needs.
Recurring Conformity. After you are officially integrated as a nonprofit company, there are a handful of things that you should do to keep conformity with state and also government demands. Some states call for an annual report. The majority of states call for an annual business revival, and also some states do not need state earnings tax obligations to be submitted unless the nonprofit receives a certain threshold earnings. As you can see, each state runs in different ways. The secret is to keep on your own notified and also current with the demands of your certain state. On the federal side, Internal Revenue Service Type 990 or a variation of Form 990 is required to be submitted every year. This is the yearly tax return kind for nonprofit companies despite revenue. Presently, the regulation specifies that if you cannot submit Type 990 for 3 consecutive years, the Internal Revenue Service will instantly withdraw your nonprofit condition. If this takes place, after that the nonprofit could no more obtain tax-deductible payments. Additionally, you will need to reapply for tax obligation exemption once again. You have actually put in the time to construct your nonprofit, so make the effort to look after it as well as stay certified.
Next month try to find a detailed process to raise those initial bucks for your freshly included nonprofit.

You're ready to start a nonprofit as well as make a positive influence on the planet and now you need to understand the very best way to go about producing your company. There is a whole lot that enters into a nonprofit, yet not a lot that a lot of any individual can do it. There are, nevertheless, vital steps to take as you start. Follow along listed below and I will certainly assist you get going in the ideal direction with seven necessary suggestions. These suggestions, when made use of right, will assist produce success in your nonprofit.
Create The Nonprofit Entity legalzoom political action.
Creating the real lawful organization could be achieved in numerous different methods. The very first and also most known method is by producing an independent 501( c)( 3) with the Internal Revenue Service. This can be an extensive procedure and also includes integrating a company in the state that you wish to do company, as well as filing for tax-exempt standing via the IRS making use of kind 1024.
The second, fastest expanding method to form a nonprofit organization is via monetary sponsorship. This is where a currently existing 501( c)( 3) organization accepts your nonprofit task within its organizational framework. This enables an organization to perform nonprofit tasks without the requirement for setting up an independent 501( c)( 3) via the IRS. Setting up a fiscal sponsorship can be really quick, very easy, as well as economical. The most vital part of establishing a monetary sponsorship is discovering a sponsor who is reputable and also long-standing in the nonprofit sector. If the sponsor is hollow, they could negatively affect your nonprofit job. Find a third party who is skilled as well as educated concerning financial enrollers to obtain suggestions from.
When starting a nonprofit it is important to thoroughly investigate the cause you will be helping. This will aid you comprehend just what organizations are currently in existence doing comparable work. This will certainly help your organization in establishing areas that still need help as well as organizations you could function together with of in much better achieving the job. Consistent study will assist your company stay focused on its objective.
When doing nonprofit job filing for tax-exempt standing is necessary. Many nonprofits skip this step since it could be expensive, only to need to return to the action years in the future. By having tax-exempt status, your nonprofit could offer donors tax-deductible invoices for their contributions. Tax-exempt condition is necessary when receiving contributions from a lot of corporations and when looking for give cash. Don't place yourself in a bind without tax-exempt standing. You do not intend to be rushing to obtain tax-exempt status with a huge donation pending.
Establish An Excellent Fundraising Strategy legalzoom political action.
Fundraising is the lifeline of a nonprofit company. Hardly any can be accomplished without funds to spend. Establishing an excellent fund increasing plan and proceeded economic security is vital to the success of your nonprofit. Locate excellent information on how to fund raising as well as placed the plan at work from the very start. It is not essential to employ a charity event or grant writer yet instead check out and also buy resources that help you learn to do these tasks on your own. No one is mosting likely to care as much about the economic security of your organization as you.
Establishing a calculated plan on how your nonprofit will run, achieve its goal, work with staff, and also expand will certainly be necessary. Without a calculated plan in position it will certainly be really hard to earn sure your nonprofit achieves success. Strategic plans are plans that you could reference back to consistently, seeing to it your nonprofit gets on track for success. Find a good resource or handbook that explains how to create a great strategic plan for your nonprofit.
With any luck your nonprofit will remain to operate effectively for your lifetime and past. While establishing the nonprofit, maintain this long-range vision in mind. There is knowledge in establishing a strong structure in the beginning as opposed to haphazardly tossing your organization together. Take into consideration taking 6 months to a year in the beginning to develop secure fund raising, legalzoom political action great programs, and also excellent methods. As an example, make use of the very first year to fund raising and raise understanding of your nonprofit so that you could you're your budget plan. Then with steady financing you can start paying wages, office expenses, as well as fund programs with less stress. As soon as your programs begin, it will certainly be more difficult to concentrate 100% of your efforts on fundraising.
Aiding others should be fun. Beginning and also running an effective nonprofit could be fun. If at any type of point you find you have shed the "fun variable," regroup as well as identify how you can place the fun back into your efforts. If enjoyable as well as satisfaction is not a constant component of your nonprofit initiatives, it will be challenging to continue. Ensure those you help, those that volunteer, and also yourself are having a blast and your nonprofit endeavor will certainly always have life.
Nonprofits supply vital services and sustain several vital objectives both in your area and also internationally. But it can be difficult to produce and also develop a nonprofit that will certainly serve its objective as well as make a difference. There are several distinctions in between a commercial company and also a nonprofit. Luckily, Nolo, a business that makes the law obtainable to any individual, has an exceptional guide to help you begin or to help you continue along if you are begun however having trouble constructing it to where you desire it to go. legalzoom political action The 4th Version of "Starting & Building a Nonprofit A Practical Overview" by Peri H. Pakroo, J.D., is a necessary overview of aid you get your nonprofit operating and, most importantly, keep it going.
Like a lot of Nolo books, it is arranged in an easy fashion to allow the visitor to get one of the most information in an useful manner. The short introduction offers some nonprofit basics as well as a few words on running a nonprofit.

These phases supply great basic details. They offer the fundamentals. However, you will certainly wish to learn more concerning a few of these topics. Take fundraising as an example. This is a crucial location for nonprofits, as well as Nolo in fact has a few other publications that focus just on this one topic. So while the phase in this book gives some basic assistance, you could want to enhance your reading in this area with added sources. I additionally value the chapter on getting specialist assistance, since while this book readies with general information, there are some areas where you actually need to look for the guidance of a professional and also collaborating with attorneys and also accounting professionals will certainly be necessary for the nonprofit that wishes to be successful.
Guide features a CD-Rom that contains a number of types as well as lists to aid you with your company. These kinds and checklists support the numerous phases in guide. There are likewise paper copies in the back of guide.
This is a very easy publication to read with a great deal of great info to help you with starting a nonprofit or if you are working at building a nonprofit, to create a reliable organization that will certainly make a distinction. It is not the only recommendation you will certainly require, and as a matter of fact guide suggests other Nolo titles to assist with forming a nonprofit firm and also fundraising. I do advise this publication as a beginning legalzoom political action area to any person working with a nonprofit, specifically board of supervisors, executive directors, or somebody needing to know what it takes to start one. And also it is an excellent recommendation for an Executive Director or Board member to check out and also carry the shelf.

Our dried wild morel mushrooms are handpicked here in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest each spring and are then sun dried to perfection. They are foraged wild by our intrepid pickers who fight with bear, deer and other hungry animals to obtain these wild gems. Dried morel mushrooms have an amazing earthy, smoky flavor. They are an excellent substitute when fresh morels are not available. The wild morels actually gain flavor as they are sun dried to perfection. Bring them back to fresh quality life by soaking them in water or use them dried. Either way you will enjoy their delicious all natural flavor.
Tips to Use: To reconstitute place in warm water and let soak for 10-15 mins. Cook like normal and enjoy!
Morel mushrooms grow outdoors in the sunlight making them an excellent source of Vitamin D. Mushrooms are able to convert sunlight into Vitamin D after they are picked. Our dried morel mushrooms are sun dried making them extra rich in Vitamin D.
Morel mushrooms are also a rich in dietary fiber and are low in both saturated and unsaturated fat. Dietary fiber helps stimulate digestion, relieving constipation problems.
The B vitamins found abundantly in wild mushrooms help the immune system, support nerve and heart health and help break down blood sugars in the body among other things. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

So that receiver can also be able to see sender name with sender email ID.
The code i tried is:

So , how can i add sender name in sender option with sender email ID.
I am using PHP with Google App Engine & mails are send successfully by using the above code but i am not able to add sender name with sender email id.
Please help me out of this problem.
A: You cannot set the sender to any value you like. The sender address must be one of the following types:
*
*The address of a registered administrator for the application. You can add administrators to an application using the Administration Console.
*The address of the user for the current request signed in with a Google Account. You can determine the current user's email address with the Users API. The user's account must be a Gmail account, or be on a domain managed by Google Apps.
*Any valid email receiving address for the app (such as xxx@APP-ID.appspotmail.com).
*Any valid email receiving address of a domain account, such as support@example.com. Domain accounts are accounts outside of the Google domain with email addresses that do not end in @gmail.com or @APP-ID.appspotmail.com.

BkiUfLbxK0wg0_75AjhN | IN A RECENT LETTER TO SOME of his older investor/clients, financial planner Harley Lance Kaplan could only apologize. He says he told these clients "we didn't listen to or forgot" the lessons of thrift and sacrifice that guided our elders through the Great Depression and World War II, a group Tom Brokaw identified as 'the Greatest Generation.'"
"Greed is an excuse. Stupid is not an excuse," says Kaplan, who runs Beta Industries in Sherborn, Mass., and is a veteran of 26 years in the business. Kaplan invests his clients' money in many vehicles, including mutual funds. Too many people blame greed for the current economic mess, he says, when it's actually stupidity that was mostly responsible. Kaplan advises all his clients, regardless of age, to stay out of the equities market until year end, because tax-loss selling and portfolio repositioning could add to the tumult. "No one can predict what will happen," he adds.
But he thinks the Federal Reserve's and Treasury's moves to open their credit spigots will ultimately stabilize the markets -- and sooner rather than later. Simply trying to sweep the bad assets under the rug held Japan's economy in check for a decade, Kaplan says. That's not the kind of time horizon he envisions for a U.S. rebound. He'd be ready to buy in 2009.
"Growth stocks have become value stocks," Kaplan says. He looks for good companies with good products that people need, can afford and will buy. Management is also important.
He likes Procter & Gamble (ticker: PG), Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL), among other companies with "historically strong franchises." He believes Caterpillar (CAT) and engineering and construction company KBR (KBR) will benefit from new spending on infrastructure.
If you hold back, in five years you might well be saying "I wish I coulda, woulda, shoulda" pounced on equities when they were so incredibly cheap, says the planner.
That's fine for long-term investors, but not much solace for the Greatest Generation, which is now well into its retirement years. "Hopefully, we won't have to apologize to our children" if we fail to rebuild wealth and the economy in this country by weaning ourselves off crude oil and solving the mortgage crisis, says Kaplan.
As for what to do now, Kaplan advises investors to capture capital-gains losses in their mutual funds even if they have to move from one fund to a similar fund in a different family. He thinks tax-loss selling will create unusual volatility this year.
STANDARD & POOR'S LAST WEEK introduced "an enhanced version" of its S&P Indices Versus Active Funds Scorecard (SPIVA), which offers broader asset-class coverage and mutual-fund data derived from the CRSP Survivor-Bias-Free U.S. Mutual Fund Database. That's from the Center for Research in Security Prices, based in Chicago. Got that?
"Over a five-year horizon, our research shows a majority of active managers underperform indices," Srikant Dash, S&P's head of global research and design for index services, recently noted. "This is true even in relatively inefficient segments of the market such as small-capitalization stocks and emerging markets."
But mutual-fund managers still have an important place in the market.
"On average, there's a lot of good managers out there with ways to get alpha," says Bruce Crockett, independent chairman of the AIM Funds board of trustees. Alpha is fund-speak for market-beating returns. He notes that AIM's money-market funds came through the crisis created by one big fund's demise without holding a single security downgraded by the rating agencies.
As for equities, his motto is to invest for the long term on a dollar-cost average. "I don't know anyone out there who isn't worried" about this "delicate" economic time. But he believes it's a good time to invest.
Among his personal picks are General Electric (GE) and Eaton (ETN), which "has diversified away from the auto industry."
ASSETS IN U.S. EXCHANGE-TRADED funds fell $96.6 billion in October -- or 16.7% -- close to the 16.8% decline in the S&P 500, State Street Global Advisors reported. There were 701 ETFs in the U.S., with assets of about $482.98 billion, managed by 22 ETF managers. Two new ETFs were launched last month, while five were liquidated.
Funny, I feel my 401(k) is close to liquidated, too.
Money Funds See Green: Equity funds had weekly outflows averaging $6.6 billion for the four weeks ending Wednesday, reports AMG. Money funds' net inflows averaged $27.4 billion. Taxable bond funds saw $5.6 billion go out. Municipal funds' outflows were $1 billion. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdLHxK4sA-5Y3saNX | Recently another artist actually admitted that she's copying my artwork. I felt shocked and conflicted on how to respond to her. The artist in me felt hurt and crushed. My lawyerside was outraged and ready to get all legal on her a$$. The writer in me sensed there might be a good story in this frustrating situation. Here's what happened.
My painting was hanging in a public place. A "potential buyer" contacted me, asked me tons of questions, and requested that I email her information. She wanted a photograph of the painting and detailed pricing options. When I followed up with her she admitted that she was an artist herself. She had wanted the detailed information so that she could copy the painting herself for her own living room!
Shocked and confused, I decided to take a step back from my conflicting feelings. I asked for advice from 3 very different communities of friends: lawyers, artists and writers.
Recently another artist actually admitted that she's copying my artwork. I felt shocked and conflicted on how to respond to her. The artist in me felt hurt and crushed. My lawyer side was outraged and ready to get all legal on her a$$. The writer in me sensed there might be a good story in this frustrating situation. Here's what happened.
My painting was hanging in a public place. A "potential buyer" contacted me, asked me tons of questions, and requested that I email her information. She wanted a photograph of the painting and detailed pricing options. When I followed up with her she admitted that she only wanted the information to copy the painting herself for her own living room!
So I decided to take a step back from my conflicting feelings. I asked for advice from 3 very different communities of friends: lawyers, artists and writers.
1. Hibernating. The artist in me was ready to hide myself in my studio and never share any artwork again.
2. Suing. The lawyer in me wanted to make threats, write scary letters, start a lawsuit, etc. You know the drill.
3. Writing. The writer in me wanted to create an imaginary story where the copycat got punished for her bad behavior.
The Artists who gave me advice were outraged but somewhat helpless in the face of a copycat. A few reminded me that copying artwork is part of learning and very common in art school. This copying is usually limited to masterpieces and not of fellow artists' work.
Many artists regularly copyright their artwork, but the copyright can only really be enforced if the copier is profiting from the copy. So if the copied artwork is for personal use, like my copycat's piece for her living room, there's not much that can be done to stop the copy.
The Artists encouraged me to send her a reminder of my copyright and appeal to her artist-side. They felt that her copy would likely not be as good as my original. This was reassuring because we all know that copies are sometimes better than the original! The artists were also banking on karma so if she copied me, she was setting herself up for lots bad artist-karma.
The Lawyers unsurprisingly were all in favor of protecting my artwork and reminding the copycat of my copyright ownership to the work. One suggested a licensing arrangement but I doubt the copycat would agree to that. I didn't see much point in wasting time and money on formal legal action. A few lawyers who have also delved into creative pursuits advised me to write "all rights reserved" along with the copyright symbol on the back of my artwork.
At around the same time this was happening, an interesting story hit the news about the famous artist Richard Prince making tons of money by copying other people's Instagram photos. Apparently his work falls under the "fair use" exception of copyright and is completely legal. So if it's ok for Richard Prince to copy, I didn't think I'd have much of a case against my copycat and her living room piece.
The writers had by far the most creative ideas. They saw this story as fruit for great publicity, a novel or at least a decent blog post. One suggested that I ask the copycat to send me a photo of her copy so that I could feature it on my blog. I thought this was a cute idea but don't want to encourage her copying behavior.
Overall, I felt frustrated by the situation and am looking for your feedback! Which of the ideas would you follow? Do you like the writer, artist or lawyer response to a copycat? What would you do in my situation? | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUeHHxK3YB9i3RL_VL | This is a great 300 rep challenge workout that you can do in the firehouse with minimal weight. The goal of the workout is to finish in the shortest amount of time possible, not by rushing your reps but by not resting….
All you need for this challenge workout is a stability ball and a weight. The object of the workout is to complete 50 reps of each exercise (300 total) as quickly as possible. There is a catch of course, each rep has to be performed in a controlled manner and bad reps don't count. Safety first, form is your biggest focus.
You can do the reps in any order and even mix and match if needed as long as you do 50 of each. Personally I like to choose two exercises and alternate between them until the reps are completed. As a guideline choose a weight that is around 25% your body weight. For example if you weigh around 180 pounds use a 45 pound weight. Don't forget to record your total workout time. Enjoy!
Perform this warm-up before timing the workout. Perform 10 reps of each warm-up for 2 circuits.
To add to the challenge: Run 1 mile or bike 3 as fast as possible or add some fire-ground movement intervals (interval overhauls). Click here for some good options.
Don't forget to record your total workout time (try to improve on this time each workout).

BkiUdG45qYVBTkzTms7R | Temple Songs – Point Of Origin
Far Out Staff· June 12, 2014
Temple Songs, apart from the unfortunate preference in name (Not sure if you've heard of another outfit that's dedicated their title to a place of worship?), they really haven't put a foot wrong since they came careering out of the city of Manchester, and subsequently down our ear holes, around a year ago – having recently supported Drenge, Childhood et al in numerous venues up and down the country.
Back then, front man Jolan Lewis and his effervescent band of quirky 60s pop infused rockers subjected us to both the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde side of their musical personalities; the wicked, fret smoking and rhythmically macabre 'Passed Caring' announced Temple Songs as raucous forced to be reckoned, both on record and on stage, where as 'I Can't Look After You', though tainted with malevolence and personal affliction and, may I add, a wonderful Byrds esque riff, portrayed that pop sensibility of yesteryear the band are so seemingly inspired by.
Now, that brings us to our Track of the Day 'Point Of Origin', definitely another of the band's Mr Hyde creations but a glorious song nonetheless. Released March 13th on London based independent label RIP Records, I get the feeling that Point Of Origin may just end up being one of the tunes of our Summer. Do enjoy, we will.
Temple Songs have a few upcoming gigs toward the end of the month, before heading into the Yorkshire hills to play one of the UK's finest festivals, Beacons in August and the ever ascending Liverpool Psyche Festival in September. | commoncrawl | 3 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUfow25V5jWIVPNtmG | I mean really – Peanut butter cookies are already a given, so good. And S'mores? come on, by far one of the most amazing food groups I swear! and together… in CAKE FORM! I die, seriously I'm making it AGAIN for my birthday next month!
So the FIRST time I made this cake I got ambitious and made it 8 inches, with thick cookies and gobs of marshmallow fluff… and the weight of it was insane and the marshmallow fluff couldn't hold it and it totally cracked and collapsed! BUT it was still delicious, I lived off of the mess for a few days! so this time around I made 6 inch cookies, and used less marshmallow fluff frosting, also let them set a bit before stacking!
In a large mixing bowl us an electric mixer to cream the butter.
Add the brown sugar and sugar and cream together.
Add half the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and combine well.
(optional) toast the marshmallow kisses on top and the marshmallow sides!
let set completely, cut and enjoy!
Come ON! look at that slice! GAH drooling over here, so hard to write these posts after the food is already gone! I seriously think Ill make it in tart form next time – cause who doesn't need a tart version of this with EXTRA marshmallow fluff and more chocolate? I NEED IT!
So tell me – what's YOU favorite way to eat s'mores?
well make whatever size you want! that's the best part about ganache – I always make a huge batch cause I use it for about 3 cakes at a time. but you can make less of course. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdXc25YjgKNDlVify | That thing Conor McGregor said on social media this week?
It hardly bears repeating, it was that low.
But if you really must know, he called the wife of Khabib Nurmagomedov a "towel" -- in what appeared to be a reference to the veil she wore on her wedding day, but which might have been a whole level of vulgar below that.
And then he deleted the post because even a man of McGregor's questionable moral tone understands when he's said an irredeemably repulsive thing.
Nurmagomedov responded with some pretty darned awful allegations of his own which we won't publish here because they were just as ugly. But you could understand his fury.
McGregor, once the world's best-loved and most feared fighter, has become a sideshow now. Metaphorically speaking, the only blows he delivers are low ones.
It's no longer clear whether or not his retirement announcement the other day was a publicity stunt, and frankly, it hardly matters.
He's hanging his sport out to dry.
The good thing about UFC has always been that the fighting is real and the rivalries are real. Trash talk is also part of the UFC, as it's the currency through which all fighting sports sell themselves.
But even trash talk can go too far. Cross that line and you end up with a circus like WWE or -- let's be honest -- modern boxing.
Did this shut McGregor up? It did not.
He kept feuding with Nurmagomedov on Twitter with yet more comments we won't publish here, as the flames in this personal vendetta dumpster fire threatened to engulf the whole sport.
The 30-year-old Irishman is due in court on April 10 for allegedly stealing and smashing a fan's mobile phone in Miami in March.
Full-time controversy machine and occasional UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been arrested outside his Miami Beach hotel, US media report.

My thoughts on cf.Objective changing their name.
cf.Objective() changed their name to dev.Objective() why did they do it? What does it mean?
Topics are selected for CFSummit. Now what would you like to learn?
So this year cf.Objective() is pretty special to me. My first ever ColdFusion conference was the final cfUnited in 2010. I had been a community "lurker" for about 10 years prior to that. After that first ColdFusion conference it re-energized me and I have been actively involved as much as possible. This year at cf.Objective() 2013 I was invited by Jared Rypka-Hauer to be on the Steering Committee and the Content Advisory Board (CAB.) It was a daunting challenge, Bob Silverberg had that job the years prior and always did an excellent job. But with guidance from my fellow CAB members, Dan Wilson, Emily Christensen, Simon "The Face" Free and particularly Jason Dean we managed to line up what we felt was very compelling content. But you know what they say about "the best laid plans" "they Gang aft a-gley An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain" Whatever that means. So how was day 1?
When ColdFusion 10 was in early beta, I was really interested in playing with web sockets. Unfortunately I was only *playing* with them, I didn't have a real world need. So when Ray Camden wrote several demos that showed how web sockets would work, I ran the code, saw that it worked and then moved on to test something else. Long story short, I understood the principles of web sockets, without really know how to write one: till now.

BkiUeXPxK3xgpbERD0Cu | Most new car buyers still operating in the traditional way, buying a car on credit and paying it in three years, sell a car, to make a new one. However, there are those who have already tasted the benefits of leasing programs, thanks to which owning a car is not burdened with either service or insurance or taxes or other related costs, and the car can be replaced with new at least every year. It is a program jointly developed Major and Nissan. How it works, and what is the benefit?
Te who are familiar with the leasing scheme, it is easy to guess in the "Simple solution" is one of such proposals. A distinctive feature of the service from Major – regular updates to vehicle: the contract for the rental of the car is signed for one year, after which the customer can either buy a car on favorable terms, or that is more logical for the leasing scheme, to exchange it for a new one.
To understand the benefits of the proposal, it is sufficient to compare it with the standard purchase of a car on credit. As an example, take the "average" variant: Nissan Qashqai for 1.6 million rubles. The first condition for the acquisition of the loan is the initial fee in the amount of 450 thousand rubles. Of course, the loan is accompanied by a mandatory insurance of the collateral: for CTP and hull will have to pay 50 thousand and 30 thousand will cost life insurance that is also required by most banks. Things like floor mats and a set of the motorist at the time of purchase against the General background seem unnoticed, however, and they are 5-6 thousand to spend.
So, paying a lump sum of about 540 thousand, the buyer leaves the showroom. Considering the average annual mileage in the first year of owning the car he will need to pass one to buy a set of winter tires and twice to set. Taking into account the cost THAT 1 in 12 thousand and a decent winter tire as well as tire service and seasonal storage of tires routine maintenance will take another 60. Throw in 5 thousand roubles of the transport tax for the 144-strong car – and get almost the full cost of owning a car, not including optional "special stages" such as replacing the music, seat covers and other.
Well, the third item of expenditure when buying a car on credit is actually a loan. In our conditions, subject to a monthly payment of 37 thousand for the first year will have to pay 444 thousand rubles. Adding to this the amount of the initial contribution and the cost of insurance and owning a car in the first year, we get about 1.1 million – and ahead of a few years of the loan, maintenance of compulsory insurance and so on.
Against this background, the program "Simple solution" fully justifies its name. The fact is that, choosing a car, simply arrive at the dealership with a package of documents, to make an advance payment equal to one monthly – and go on a new car. Do not need to insure himself or the car at your expense, no need to pay for registration, no need to pay extra for floor mats and even THEN: everything is included in the monthly payment. Given that the leasing scheme the actual owner is the lessor in the face of a major Pro, vehicle tax, insurance and registration pays for it. Thus, to go from the salon on the new Nissan Qashqai, in this case you will need to 33.5 thousand rubles – and no unaccounted for additional costs.
The second advantage of leasing – no need to pay for the service and maintenance of the car: all of this is also taken into account in the monthly payment. Getting to use the machine on the program "Simple solution", the client receives a "complete" winter tires, free tire and seasonal storage of wheels, and-1. Simply put, we can only fill the car and drive it – all the rest is already taken care of in advance. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbUc5qsJBjPtcWW0Y | Leatherhead Community Hub
The LCH partners
Leatherhead Community Hub is an umbrella organisation that brings together eight local organisations, who are already active in the North Leatherhead community. Co-locating in a single community hub will help us to achieve far more than we can do on our own.
St Giles Playgroup
St Giles Playgroup & Nursery cares for around 50 families in the local area, having re-located to North Leatherhead in 2012. Lucy Townsend, their Chair since 2011, explains what the proposed community hub would mean for them:
"We have become an integral part of the community in North Leatherhead, specialising in being inclusive and caring, with tailored support in place for families who need us. We were graded Outstanding in our last two Ofsted inspections which we were delighted with. Being part the LCH will enable us to do more for families locally. With the extra space, our aim is to extend our provision to offer a play space and family support for 0-2s and their carers."
Born out of B@titude and run by the same dedicated team, The Hive is a creative arts project that was running from the former Children's Centre prior to lockdown. The Hive, led by Marion Stanway, is now gearing up to welcoming adults to its new home at LCH to enjoy and explore art, colour, sewing, knitting, drawing and more.
Taking time to learn new skills or discover the unique creative gifts in us all builds confidence and self-esteem and can help with loneliness or anxiety. As well as making space available for people to drop in and try new things, The Hive is also planning to run classes in a number of specific skills.
The Foodbank
Epsom & Ewell Foodbank runs five distribution centres across East Surrey, including one in North Leatherhead. Since opening in 2012, they have distributed food parcels to nearly 40,000 people across the area. Jonathan Lees, its founder and manager, explains what the community hub will mean for them:
"Our long term goal is to reach a point where no one needs to use a food bank. However, to make that happen, we know we have a lot to do to address poverty in our community. We need to provide support, encouragement and access to many services to those people using the centre. This space will be brilliant, bringing together various community groups and those who want to make a difference, so that people can rebuild, move ahead and have hope for the future."
The Community Fridge
Mid-Surrey Community Fridges take good, surplus food from supermarkets and food producers and make it available to anyone. Clare Davies, their Chief Executive, shares her vision for the community hub:
"We are already using LCH to distribute about 200 bags of food every week during lockdown to residents of North Leatherhead. When things go back to normal, our food will help to supply the community café, and we are also planning cookery classes and food education. We will be encouraging as much community input as possible."
Citizens Advice Mole Valley
Citizens Advice Mole Valley offers free, confidential, impartial advice and support to the people of North Leatherhead, saving them around £300,000 a year in reduced debt payments and increased benefits. Debbie Jones, their Chief Officer, explains how the community hub will make a difference:
"Sadly, the recent Covid-19 crisis has resulted in many, if not all, community-based services being delivered digitally, which is having a serious impact on anyone who has only limited digital or telephone access. A regular drop-in clinic at LCH would ensure that free, high quality, face-to-face advice is available for everyone and that no-one is being left behind in this increasingly digital age."
The Molebridge Practice
Since taking over the practice last year, Dr Hilary Floyd, has become aware of the significant community health challenges in this area, including high rates of teenage pregnancy, obesity, drug dependency, social isolation, and mental health problems.
Traditional GP responses to these issues are often just a 'sticking plaster', as what is really needed is holistic health care that meets people's social and emotional, as well as physical, needs. The Molebridge Practice is, therefore, keen to partner with LCH to offer community services, such as postnatal baby checks, social prescribing, and a well-being café. Dr Anna Barham, one of the GPs is already helping to design a well-being garden at LCH, where people can spend time with nature to benefit their physical and mental wellbeing.
The Gathering Church grew out of a loose network of Christians who were either living, working, or praying together in North Leatherhead for a number of years.
The Gathering has been meeting virtually during lockdown, but will shortly be moving into their new home at LCH for regular services every Sunday, as well as having a presence there throughout the week.
Being firmly rooted in the local, The Gathering is committed to seeking the good of their neighbours and the flourishing of the whole community.
The Links Centre 2030
Recently founded by Eddie McArdle and Bill Donnelly, this not-for-profit organisation brings skills development and business start up opportunities to young unemployed adults in the North Leatherhead area and beyond.
Bill and Eddie have already created a neighbourhood allotment for therapeutic gardening and horticultural skills development, and are negotiating for a North Leatherhead training facility to engage young adults in multi-skilled construction work and bicycle refurbishment, as well as English and Maths for fun sessions.
As a registered Community Interest Company, they aim to create significant added value to the area over the coming decade of exponential workplace change.

BkiUdVo4eIfiUSg2fk81 | HELCOM, Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission, and its Action Plan (BSAP) play an important role in implementation of the Baltic Sea environment policy. HELCOM's work is based on intergovernmental cooperation between all coastal countries and the European Union. The local action plans on litter management are done in cooperation between national authorities and HELCOM.
2007 – HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan on encouragement of projects to remove litter from the coastal and marine environment, and raising public awareness on the negative environmental and socio-economic effects of marine litter.
2010 – In HELCOM Moscow Ministerial Declaration it was agreed to take further steps to carry out national and coordinated monitoring of marine litter and identify sources of litter.
2015 – HELCOM Regional Action Plan on Marine Litter sets the standards for each HELCOM country to put the agreed commitments into action. The effectiveness of the measures should be reviewed regularly, for the first time by 2020. Implementation of actions on marine litter is developed jointly via a lead country/actor approach. The intention is to develop appropriate actions into concreate measures to prevent and reduce marine litter.
Additionally, an integral theme is the smart production in order to produce less litter. These actions are further divided to regional and voluntary national responsibilities. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Vettel reveals "boring" F1 retirement hope
Sam Hall
Monday 5 December 2022 06:45
Sebastian Vettel has revealed his "really boring" plans after retiring from F1.
The four-time champion made his final appearance at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after a weekend full of emotional tributes from rival drivers, former teams and the sport as a whole.
Despite his rise as one of the loudest voices for environmental and social issues in the F1 paddock, Vettel keeps his life away from the track private and joined social media only to announce his retirement.
Giving a glimpse into what life after racing could look like, Vettel said: "I have been able to grow and mature in many ways and reflect on a lot of things.
"It is always the same rhythm season by season but I am happy I was able to build so much off-track as well.
"I found a partner, now wife, that I am very in love with still after so many years. We have got three kids, I look forward to spending more time at home with the dog.
"So the things that might sound really boring but I have built next to the racing but I will hopefully be able to enjoy and then see what happens.
"I am restless in many ways and interested in a lot of things so will give those a little more room."
Vettel leaves F1 as one of the most successful drivers of all time - sitting behind only Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher in terms of race wins and as one of just five drivers to have scored four or more titles.
Reflecting on his career and the emotion of his send-off, Vettel added: "It was very special for me to have that kind of farewell, I enjoyed that.
"I had a great time across all of these years and was able to enjoy success and win championships so from a sporting point of view it has been huge."

BkiUeFI4ubnjosH9IEjv | Yes, Buy Here Pay Here Dealers accept trade-in vehicles as part of a down payment. However, people need to be cautious if they still owe on the loan and have negative equity.For people who are going to take out an auto loan, using a trade in vehicle is a convenient solution. The dealership will inspect the trade-in vehicle. Next they will run a CARFAX, and determine its actual cash value when making an offer. The trade-in's value, can go toward the new purchase as a down payment. For consumers with less than perfect credit, this is a great way to meet a lender's down payment requirement. In most cases, bad credit lenders require a down payment of 10 percent of the car's selling price in cash. Another consideration is trade equity, or a combination of both. We suggest reading the article "How Trade-in Car Prices Are Determined" to get an idea of how dealers come up with a price.
What if I Still Owe on My Trade-in Vehicle?
If your trade-in vehicle is paid off use entire value toward the purchase. If you still owe your vehicles equity determines how your purchase moves forward. Equity is the difference between what a car is worth and the loan balance. When a customer trades in a car and has equity but still owes on the vehicle. The dealer will then accept the trade, pay off the previous lender. You dealer with apply the difference as the down payment. For example, owes $5,000- vehicle worth $7,000, the $2,000 difference can go toward the down payment. However, when a borrower owes more on the loan than their vehicle is worth the trade-in process can become difficult – known as having negative equity.
The buyer is always responsible for the difference of Negative equity. For example, a borrower owes $8,000 on their trade-in vehicle but it's only worth $6,000. This means they're facing $2,000 of negative equity, and the difference isn't just going to disappear. Customers either have to pay it off or can roll it into the new loan, which can be a costly decision.
Keep in mind, a lender may not even let a borrower (especially if they have credit issues) trade in a car with negative equity unless they have money to cover it out of pocket. Problem is now the alternative is rolling the difference into the new loan this raises the loan-to-value ratio, which can cause a loan to fall outside the allowed requirements and lead to being denied. When you find a lender where negative equity can be rolled over use caution. Going this route raises the loan balance, which leads to higher monthly payments and increased interest charges. Truly a costly move for those with less than perfect credit who receive higher interest rates. Also, this immediately creates more negative equity in the new loan, so the same problem may arise in the future.
As the Car buyer, even if you have bad credit, can use your trade-in vehicle as all or part of your down payment. If you have negative equity, we recommend to avoid trading in your vehicle unless it they can cover the balance out of pocket. Financially speaking, it's smarter to wait until you have built equity or paid off the loan.

BkiUbqPxK7Ehm2ZQzXjs | "Mother of wages" you'd think would be referin' to industrious labor or, for a pirate… findin' treasure or bringin' plunder or leadin' battle or somethin' akin.
But you'd be in error. By English maritime law, freight became the mother of wages, as the crew were obliged to moor the ship on her return in the docks or forfeit them.
So severely was the axiom maintained, that if a ship was lost by misfortune, tempest, enemy, or fire, wages also were forfeited, because the freight out of which they were to arise had perished with it.
Are you not glad that law was done away with. But come to think of pirates never paid any attention to law anyway. So have done with it.

Ref : TN0145 - A300821
With PONANT, sail from Norway to Alaska via the Northeast Passage, the legendary maritime route that is covered by ice for much of the year. Aboard L'Austral, you will navigate the Arctic seas, meandering between the Siberian archipelagos: a voyage in search of little-known lands, rich in countless natural wonders.
Murmansk, one of the world's northernmost cities, will be the first port of call on this all-new 25-day expedition cruise. You will then reach Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya, magnificent natural sanctuaries that are part of the Russian Arctic National Park.
A little further east, the immense polar desert of the Northern Land Archipelago, as well as the exceptional biodiversity of the New Siberian Islands, will offer you pure moments of wonder.
You will finally reach Chukotka, one of the most isolated region in the world. Covered with immense brightly coloured tundra, the region is home to various villages: an opportunity for you to share a few moments of the inhabitants' life.
Before arriving in your disembarkation port of Nome, you will discover Wrangel Island's biodiversity: it is unique in the world, like a real record of the earth's last ice age.
We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. The itinerary, landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the AECO.
Visits to Wrangel Island are subject to permission being granted by the Russian authorities. This port of calls can only be confirmed once this authorisation has been received, six months before the cruise departure date.

In May 2011, l'Austral joined PONANT's fleet. This superb mega-yacht with 132 staterooms is the result of the expertise of the Italian Fincantieri shipyard and French sophistication, as interpreted by designer Jean-Philippe Nuel. L'Austral remains faithful to our philosophy - to create a unique atmosphere, a subtle blend of luxury, intimacy and well-being.
A sleek silhouette softened by elegantly smooth contours and large, arched windows opening up to the sea and the light: so many features come together to give L'Austral her distinctive shape. Precious materials, discreet elegance and a perfect balance between chic and casual, combine to make you feel as if you are on your own private yacht. A design blending tradition and innovation, where a nautical mood has been subtly recreated. A welcoming atmosphere of relaxed sophistication revolves around shades of grey, taupe, white and ivory enlivened by touches of cinnamon, caramel and tan.. So many personal touches create the spirit of a "private yacht."
You will encounter unique itineraries, calls inaccessible to large ships, chic and elegant yacht-like ambiance, refined and personalized service as well as gastronomic cuisine.
In the north of the Arctic circle you'll discover Tromsø, a secluded town located in the county of Troms. Norwegians call it the "Paris of the north". You'll soon see why when you discover its extensive neoclassical architectural heritage. A stunning example is the Arctic cathedral, a major monument whose stylistic purity echoes the outline of the mountains surrounding the town.
31 August 2021 – At sea
1 September 2021 – Murmansk
Along the coastline of Kola Bay, in the Barents Sea, discover Murmansk, the world's largest city located above the Arctic Circle. Time seems to stand still in these parts, which are subjected to extreme cold and plunged into darkness for several weeks. Between its former warehouses, the vestiges of the port's significant commercial and military activity during the past century, and its Stalinist architecture, the city presents an austere silhouette at first sight: this characteristic is in total contrast with the majestic beauty of the surrounding landscapes made up of the hills overlooking the Murmansk fjord.
2 September 2021 – At sea
3 September 2021▸5 September 2021 – Franz Josef Land
Lost in the heart of the Russian Arctic, Franz Josef Land rises up, imposing and majestic, out of the icy waters of the Barents Sea. The volcanic archipelago was named in honour of the Austrian-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria and offers up sumptuous landscapes sculpted by glacial erosion. Particularly difficult to reach because of the ice floe and still completely unknown until 150 years ago, this group of islands remains relatively unexplored today. Home to extremely rich wild life, it was declared a natural sanctuary and is today part of the Russian Arctic National Park.
7 September 2021 – Novaya Zemlya
North of Siberia, discover Novaya Zemlya, whose name means "new land" in Russian. Bordered by the Barents and Kara Seas, this mountainous archipelago, an extension of the Urals, is home to very rich polar fauna despite its particularly harsh climatic conditions. Moreover, the far north of the region is part of the Russian Arctic National Park, a veritable Arctic sanctuary with many polar bears and walruses. In these parts, you'll also be able to admire majestic glaciers, including the impressive Severny Island ice cap, which covers almost 40% of this spit of land.
8 September 2021▸9 September 2021 – At sea
9 September 2021 – Northern Land Archipelago
Identified and mapped only at the beginning of the 20th century, Severnaya Zemlya (Northern Land) is the last archipelago to be discovered in the world, at this time. Located near the northern coast of Russia, but protected by a thick ice floe, the site is particularly difficult to reach and relatively unexplored. An immense polar desert made up of many glaciers and huge rocky expanses, this group of islands offers exceptional landscapes and possesses the largest glacial expanse in the country. As you approach the coastline, admire the silent ballet of the icebergs.

Located between the glacial Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, on the eastern point of Russia, Chukotka is one of the world's most isolated regions. Made up of vast plains of tundra, which take on magnificent colours in summer, the region is the kingdom of the Chukchi, a nomad people that has now settled. Present on these lands for millennia, they are one of Eastern Siberia's oldest communities and still live from hunting and fishing today.
15 September 2021▸17 September 2021 – Wrangel Island Reserve
Imagine a natural island that is mostly mountainous and, for the rest of its landscapes, alternates between vast tundra plains and areas of great lakes, lagoons and cliffs. Welcome to Wrangel, the most important hotspot of Arctic biodiversity. Situated between the East Siberian Sea and the Chukchi Sea, the island was named after the Russian explorer Ferdinand von Wrangel. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the island is a rare, precious and very ancient ecosystem with unique vegetation, as well as an exceptional fauna: it is home to the majestic polar bear and the vast majority of the Russian Arctic's walrus population. The island also holds traces of the last mammoths and is home to several endemic species.

Located along the Bering Strait at the westernmost point of Alaska, Nome offers the rustic charm of a former gold-mining town, set in the middle of magnificent wilderness. As you weave in and out of the brightly coloured houses, you will discover the pioneering legacy that still marks local traditions. Fishing, reindeer rearing, sledge-racing... People here live from their manual labour. The surrounding plains provide stunning vantage points for observing Arctic fauna.

BkiUc-E4ubngxaggwIJ8 | Topics include animals, plants, simple machines, human body, magnetism, outer space, electricity, and more. Use the tools you've already been given. Your research will now have a flow. It should be noted that writing research papers is a test of how best you understand the subject. By means of inhibiting the formation of a particular molecule in the brain. Booty Calls: the Best of Both Worlds? When you settle on one topic to write on, the following steps should be taken to write the best research paper.
What interesting topic should I choose for a statistics project?
I printed what looked like a 3-dimensional kabuki mask on white cardstock and gave one to each student. Keep an open notebook or a portable device with a notepad on hand, and copy down everything you might use verbatim. Francis Fesmire, who penned a medical case report with the same title in 1988 and with whom the researchers shared an Ig Nobel in 2006. Include Your Thesis This is your own statement as a writer. If you're finding the information you might be able to use, stick with that topic; if there seems to be no useful research at all, you'll either have to perform original research or change topics. From here, all that's left is to put your information into a sensible format, apply your own interpretation to it, and prepare it for presentation.
Have them put an artistic twist on it by creating a mask of their assigned person. Literature reviews are generally found in the of and other , but this type of analysis also works well for a full-scale psychology term paper. The foundation of a great research project is the research, which takes time and patience to gather even if you aren't performing any original research of your own. That gets the ball rolling into the research project itself. Especially if you plan to use original research, there are very stringent ethical guidelines that must be followed for any credible academic body to accept it.
Can Pigeons Tell a Picasso From a Monet? Brainstorming is an integral part of research. These dancers documented their ovulatory cycles, shift patterns and the amount of tips they received over the course of 60 days. Step 2: Pick a topic that you understand and has available material This is where the Internet comes very handy. Students can learn about dinosaurs, states, provinces, and more. Settle on one that has a broad scope Research paper ideas and topics that are broad are the best ones since they offer you many points to develop your research paper. The Rectal Route to Curing Hiccups When beset by a flurry of hiccups, a few minutes of putting up with the involuntary jolting is usually sufficient to get them to subside. Choose several topics that you find interesting and brainstorm.
The best ideas are those that are intriguing to the readers and those that motivate the readers to read your research paper in its entirety. It is also important to note that your paper doesn't necessarily have to be about someone you know personally. But will there be a subset of people? In a great twist of irony, Dr. Visit museums and historical societies for records that can't be reviewed anywhere else. You will also have more to write about the subject since you will be highly motivated to explore additional resources. Limit the topic in a way that it is manageable Step 4: Define the research question and formulate a thesis statement We are guessing that when this step comes, you will have a topic in mind. In other situations, you may actually have the opportunity to collect data, analyze your findings, and write up your results.
This article will outline some tips to writing the best research paper while also giving some interesting research paper ideas for your consideration. The bees also exaggerated the scale of their bounty. It should be noted that narrowing on specific topic clears your mind from any distraction from other areas. Here are ways you can spice up your lessons as well have examples of what I have done in my classroom. At this stage its worth remembering that the more interest you have in a given topic, the easier it will be to push through any obstacles that may crop up when trying to complete the project. You can combine a few or several different parameters to create concrete questions that will give your research some direction.
Covering around 25,000 streets inside a six-mile radius of central London, the test generally requires three to four years of preparation and multiple attempts at the final exam before success is achieved. Browse through the collection at your university library to find titles devoted to the subject that you are most interested in, then look through recent articles until you find what that grabs your attention. Spend time collecting stacks of books and skimming them for valuable information until you've exhausted those resources. Include your Methodology This entails what methods you used in carrying out your research. As is often the case, there was almost no relationship.
If you want to know about differences in animal population between public land and an Indian reservation, call the reservation and see if you can speak to their department of fish and wildlife. Be careful with some of the punctuation marks; they may bring a difference in meaning to some words. Brush across information you have access to. How to Come up With the Best Research Paper Topics When choosing a research paper idea, one thing is for sure; it has to be interesting. So, no, you can't skip the first step unless you like wandering aimlessly without a map. One may choose to write about their areas of interests or areas that could be challenging to them for deeper understanding. Without worrying about structure or format, start writing down ideas — anything you're interested in, really, as long as it falls within the bounds of the assigned project's guidelines. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdhw4dbghNqLlNcVI | Details have emerged of how a plot by a neo-Nazi to kill an MP and a serving police officer was foiled by an anti-racism charity that had infiltrated the group.
Just over a year had passed since the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox when Robbie Mullen joined comrades from Britain's only banned neo-Nazi group in the Friar Penketh, a bustling Wetherspoons pub in Warrington town centre.
But as the drizzly evening in the summer of 2017 wore on, Mullen and others from the group known as National Action were joined by Jack Renshaw, a 22-year-old former politics student from Lancashire. After embarking on a journey through the far right in his teens, he was by then under investigation over antisemitic speeches at rallies in Blackpool and Leeds, and also expected to be charged with grooming two young boys for sexual exploitation.
Fortunately for Rosie Cooper, the West Lancashire Labour MP who Renshaw had decided to kill, as well as DC Victoria Henderson, who was investigating him, Mullen had by this point rejected the violent racist ideology of National Action and was working as a mole for anti-racism charity Hope Not Hate (HnH).
After Mullen tipped off his handler, HnH's research director, Matthew Collins, Renshaw was arrested by police, who found a 48cm (19in) Roman-style machete concealed in an airing cupboard.
While Renshaw admitted to a terrorist plot to kill his MP, it is only now that the full background to the plot has been aired. At the end this week of his fourth and final trial of the past two years, a jury decided it was unable to decide whether Renshaw was a member of National Action.
In some ways, what is just as dramatic was HnH's penetration of National Action and the charity's role in the demise of a violent neo-Nazi group that had venerated the killer of Jo Cox and that had gone underground and continued to operate after it was proscribed by the home secretary in 2016.
"We have people in all of the organised far-right groups, obviously, but we were really hammering NA hard in the run-up to its proscription," said Collins, who 27 years ago was instrumental in destroying a previous incarnation of the National Front when he became a mole for the anti-fascist organisation Searchlight.
The problem, Collins told the Guardian on Wednesday, was that HnH knew NA would continue to exist even after it was banned by Amber Rudd.
Mullen, a warehouse worker living in Runcorn, Cheshire, had joined NA in 2015 after becoming impressed with what felt like a different, even innovative, type of far-right group. Clad all in black at demonstrations, it was adept at using social media to recruit disaffected young men. As well as engaging in street violence, it had carried out set-piece propaganda actions such as dropping a banner from a motorway bridge or unfurling a "Hitler Was Right" banner in central Liverpool.
After researching HnH and reading Collins's book about his own life, and having become disillusioned with the far right, Mullen emailed the charity in April 2017 before taking a train to meet in London in circumstances that wouldn't be out of place in a John le Carré novel.
"We have what we call bagmen and bagwomen, who are people around the country that do nothing else other than this sort of work for us," said Collins. "We booked him a ticket on the train and unbeknownst to him we had two people on it to ensure he got on it and didn't have anyone else with him. Then we spirited him away to a hotel.
After an initially tense relationship with the police, who Collins said wanted Mullen to be "handed over to them", cooperation with counter-terrorism officers took an improved turn. A series of convictions of NA members all stemmed from information that came from the charity.
Among the National Action members convicted last November of being part of a terrorist group were a "fanatical" neo-Nazi couple who named their baby son after Hitler, and a Finnish-born British army soldier who was arrested at his army base in Wales. The National Action leader, Christopher Lythgoe, who had reacted to its proscription by telling members they would "shed just one skin for another", was jailed for eight years in July.
Mullen, who was informed by police that his life was under threat, has now had to embark on a new life. In a way, he admits, his life has been ruined.
"By reporting Jack Renshaw's murder plot and giving evidence in this court, my life has changed," he said. "I had to walk out of my job, I was forced to move home and I have to live with a target on my back. But I know I had no other choice. Jack Renshaw was days away from trying to kill an MP, Rosie Cooper. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdbw4ukPiEebgxR8c | In my nine years in Seattle, I have never experienced a Memorial Day weekend quite like this past one. You see, summer usually starts in, oh, August. We might get a week of sunshine here or there in the spring, but Memorial Day weather has never been anything remarkable. Until this past weekend. 85 degrees and sunny. EVERY DAY OF THE WEEKEND.
It was a blast. We grilled two of the three nights; had friends visiting from SF; saw pals who have a babe a week older than W; sat in the sun; went to a BBQ (Sarah's backyard is incredible right now); and got to taste homemade pizza. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdTQ5qrqCysbsCR0v | On 9 December, the British sporting world – or at least those people with stakes in the outcome – lined up to watch a ritual that takes place every four years: the awarding of money by the government agency UK Sport for the next Olympic cycle, which in this case is the four years leading up to Tokyo 2020.
This year, for the first time since 2005, British baseball and softball did have a stake in the outcome, since our sports will be in the Tokyo Olympics after a 12-year absence from the Games – but we didn't, of course, get any money (see http://www.britishsoftball.org/news/view/no-uk-sport-softball-funding-for-now).
In a way, the ritual is a bit like the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona – compelling in a blood-thirsty sort of way, because people are going to get hurt.
And it's hard to repress the feeling that UK Sport, a government agency that has been spectacularly successful in a narrow mission to win Olympic medals, enjoys bestowing money here and taking it away there, pronouncing the fates of those anointed as the deserving rich and the undeserving poor.
It could almost be a Christmas Special of Benefits Street.
UK Sport operates on the basis of a principle that they used to call "No Compromise", though the term isn't heard much these days. What it means in practice is that UK Sport's money – in this case £345 million from a combination of mostly Lottery and some Exchequer funding -- goes only to sports and athletes that are proven medal winners or where the potential for medals is highly probable rather than simply possible.
This policy, as noted, has been a huge success in pursuit of its single objective. Great Britain was fourth in the overall medals table for the Olympics in Beijing, third in London and second in Rio. It's an amazing achievement, and there has been little doubt about the feel-good factor created by this shower of gold, silver and bronze in a country sorely in need of things to feel good about.
But the policy behind this success is getting steadily more extreme, and more British Olympic sports are finding their elite programmes decimated as a result.
In London in 2012, there were a total of 26 sports in Olympic competition – but even though this was a once-in-a-lifetime home Olympics, UK Sport chose to fund only 18 of them, or just under 70%. The rest – mostly team sports – were given no support at all to realise their Olympic dreams in front of the British public.
In Rio this past summer, there were 28 Olympic sports, but the same group of 18 sports (64%) received UK Sport funding.
In Tokyo in 2020, because the International Olympic Committee has now opened up the Olympics to new sports nominated by the host country, there will be 33 sports in competition, including baseball/softball (regarded as one sport with two disciplines).
But UK Sport's announcement on 9 December gave money only to 16 sports, removing funding entirely from badminton, weightlifting and fencing (and also from wheelchair rugby in the Paralympics) which means that only 48% of British Olympic sports are likely to be funded for Tokyo.
The uncertainty is around the five "new sports" that will compete in 2020 – baseball/softball, karate, skateboard, sports climbing and surfing. UK Sport has deferred a final decision on whether any of them will get any funding until December 2017 on the reasonable grounds that there has not been enough time to assess their medal potential. But no one at any of those sports, including ours, is holding their breath that a positive decision will be forthcoming in a year's time.
What we're seeing here is a policy driven to its logical extreme, with no consideration for its effect on the overall sporting landscape, or on elite athletes in sports deemed by UK Sport to be, in effect, losers. The logic behind "No Compromise" is that "money wins medals" – and more money concentrated in the same place, mainly in sports with multiple disciplines, wins even more medals.
That's why team sports tend to lose out in UK Sport allocations: not because the agency is biased against team sports as such, but because there is only one medal on offer for hockey, volleyball, basketball, handball, football, rugby 7s – or baseball and softball – compared to the seemingly endless medals that can be won in disciplines of rowing, cycling, shooting, sailing, boxing, swimming or athletics.
So the only team sport to get any money at all for Tokyo is hockey – and only because the GB Women's Hockey Team turned potential into gold in Rio.
It's hard not to feel sorry for badminton, weightlifting, fencing and wheelchair rugby, whose elite programmes will now struggle to survive, in the same way that elite programmes struggle in those British Olympic sports that have not received any funding at all since the "No Compromise" policy began in the run-up to Beijing. Athletes in most of these sports have almost no chance of ever representing their country on the world's biggest sporting stage.
It's easy to sympathise with David Pond, the CEO of wheelchair rugby, looking at the amounts given to the 16 sports who have won this particular lottery – amounts ranging from £5.7 to £24.7 million – when he says that "we are a sport worth the small investment we requested. If you removed £100,000 from each of the sports that have been awarded huge sums, you would more than meet our request." And thereby give the sport something to build on.
But UK Sport doesn't think that way.
Instead, it accepts the logic that has driven neo-liberal capitalism, globalisation and all the other forces that have increased inequality in societies around the world.
It is the logic of "to them that hath shall be given and devil take the hindmost." It is not a pleasant, compassionate or humane logic. It is not a logic of inclusion or sporting chances.
But it sure does win medals – at least for now.
In contrast to UK Sport's approach, some people feel that investing, proportionately, in all Olympic sports is a strategy that could yield even more medals in the long run without necessarily doing significant harm to the sports that win medals now, because more sports would be able to develop talent with podium potential. Under the current system, if medals dry up for any of the successful sports, there will be no other sports ready to take their place because no investment will have been made in the future of their elite programmes.
UK Sport rejects this argument, suggesting that sports need to prove that they can win medals before funding is justified. But there's a Catch-22 there somewhere….
As for GB Baseball and Softball, we presented strong prima facie cases to UK Sport this autumn that both our Senior National Teams could – particularly given at least some investment – qualify for Tokyo and then have at least a chance to go on and win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games.
Despite having very little time to put these cases together, we assembled a lot of objective evidence to support our claims. Although UK Sport's initial reaction was a quick and blunt no as far as funding is concerned, they have since admitted that our cases are worth consideration, and that they have not had sufficient time to look at them properly.
That's why the final decision on funding for us and the other sports that will be new in Tokyo has been postponed for a year while UK Sport looks closely at our arguments, at the European and world landscape in our sports – and at our results in 2017.
It's a small glimmer of light that will keep our national team programmes motivated throughout the coming year. But UK Sport's philosophy and modus operandi is not on our side. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

BkiUdp44eIOjR0ItZs0- | When about 50 people gathered at the Park City Club on Tuesday, November 13, to find out who would receive the 17th Annual Virginia Chandler Dykes Leadership Award benefiting Texas Woman's University, the turnout of past recipients of the award was impressive indeed. Among them were Norm Bagwell, who corralled the honor in 2018; Dr. Stephen Mansfield (2017); Ralph Hawkins (2015); and Marnie and Kern Wildenthal (2006).
Their presence underscored the importance of the award, which was established in 2002 and is presented annually by Bank of Texas, TWU and the Texas Women's University Foundation. It recognizes the life work of TWU alumna and healthcare provider Virginia Chandler Dykes, who attended the announcement and whose career represents a lifetime committed to helping others.
After guests including Bob White, Alan Utter, Donna German, Michelle Vopni, Susan Hawkins, Nancy Painter Paup and Ted Paul, Kathy and Nat Parker and Mary L.A. and Bob Stanton enjoyed drinks and catching up, Carine M. Feyten, Ph.D., TWU's chancellor and president, took the lectern to begin the short formal announcement program. She recited the growing university's most recent accomplishments — "If you like to see bulldozers and cranes, have I got a show for you in Denton!" she joked — before giving way to Ralph, who's chairing the 17th annual award luncheon.
Dale, whose career also includes service as an assistant White House press secretary to President Ronald Reagan and president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, will be presented with the leadership award at the luncheon on Wednesday, February 27, at the Belo Mansion and Pavilion in Dallas.
Besides honoring individuals in the community, the Virginia Chandler Dykes luncheon also provides scholarships for five TWU graduate students. This year's luncheon will honor grad students Janice Kishi Chow of the College of Health Sciences, Annie Bedgood of the College of Nursing, Patricia Flint of the College of Professional Education, Paramita Basu of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Meghan Labiak of the College of Business. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbsfxK6-gDz87OiH6 | Why the 'hyphenated Americanism' comment triggered outrage
People rally in front of the State Board of Education building last week before a preliminary vote on whether to create a statewide Mexican American studies course. RICARDO B. BRAZZIELL / AMERICAN-STATESMAN
The decision by the State Board of Education to approve an elective course for Mexican-American studies in Texas high schools should have triggered triumphant celebrations among the scholars and advocates who worked for years to make the curriculum a reality. Instead, many came away feeling like they were history's losers once more.
"Discrimination!" Marisa Perez-Diaz, a member of the board, said in a blistering statement that captured the outrage of critics.
Perez-Diaz, a Democrat from Converse who is Mexican-American, was angry that the course will not be called Mexican-American Studies, as scholars and activists had advocated. Instead, after the objections of one member, the Republican-dominated board voted to strip the name and call the course "Ethnic Studies: An Overview of Americans of Mexican Descent."
The board member who proposed the new name, Beaumont Republican David Bradley, offered this explanation: "I find hyphenated Americanism to be divisive."
To understand why some Texans consider that statement and the name change a slap in the face is to understand the history of Texas and how it has treated Mexican-Americans as something less than American – not as equals. It is a painful and shameful history that includes loss of rightful lands after the Mexican-American War, Jim Crow laws and systematic discrimination, separate and unequal schools, lynchings, deportations of Mexican-American citizens without due process, bigotry and signs at restaurants, parks, swimming pools and public places that told Mexican Americans they most certainly were not welcome there.
"No dogs, No Negros, No Mexicans," the signs of Jim Crow-era segregation said.
Even in death, Mexican-Americans were not equals. In some Texas towns they were buried in separate cemeteries, as were African Americans.
But you won't read much of that sordid history in high school classrooms in Texas, if at all. The historical Mexican-American experience is whitewashed and airbrushed out of textbooks and out of young Texans' minds.
"To say that one does not believe in hyphenated Americans is one of the reasons we need this course," Richard Flores, a Mexican-American studies scholar at the University of Texas, told me. "Because this entire Mexican-American community was not accepted into the American way of life."
Flores wrote the book, "Remembering the Alamo: Memory, Modernity, and the Master Symbol," which tells a history of the famous battle that is different from the conventional narrative taught in Texas classrooms – that brave Anglos defeated savage Mexicans there. But as Flores' book conveys, they were not alone — Tejanos, or Mexican-Americans, fought alongside those Anglos.
Throughout history, Mexican-Americans have been called all kinds of hateful epithets. Wetbacks, greasers, beaners, cockroaches, spics – these are some. The word "Mexican" also has historically been used as a slur — President Trump did in 2016 against a U.S. district judge.
To some, stripping the Mexican-American name from the high school course is another attempt to put Mexican-Americans in their place and to dictate their identity, a throwback – setback — to the 1940s and 1950s in Texas.
Angela Valenzuela, another Mexican-American studies scholar at UT who championed the new curriculum, said she would not want her name associated with it under its new name. Her mother would never forgive her, she said, because it harkens back to Jim Crow and the scars it left.
"My mother told us (an American of Mexican descent) is what I was," she told me. "That was all we were allowed to be then because it was Americanization full throttle."
Noting that Latinos make up 52 percent of school-age children in Texas – the vast majority Mexican American — Valenzuela said the education board sees Mexican Americans and other Latinos as a threat.
We don't need a Mexican-American studies course only for its value in setting the historical record straight. We need it because it can highlight Mexican-American historical contributions too and affirm Mexican-Americans' place as valued contributors to society.
"Without our stories, the message to young people is 'We weren't here, we weren't important and we are not important," said Maggie Rivas-Rodriguez, director of the Voces Oral History Project at UT, which highlights the WWII contributions of Mexican-Americans who served their country, despite facing rampant discrimination at home.
Bradley, meanwhile, was not in a conciliatory mood. He reportedly said Perez-Diaz was taking the name change personally and that opponents were "antagonizing the board," actions that could have repercussions on the viability of the course.
Given Texas' history, it's easy to see how some might view that as threatening.
"We're all Americans," Bradley told the Houston Chronicle. "It's a melting pot and most of the board agreed with that."
The irony of Bradley's statement is that in the land that was Mexico long before Texas became a state, in the face of historical bigotry and discrimination, Mexican-Americans have wanted nothing more than to stake their full and rightful claim as Americans. As equals. Though we might not see it reflected in our textbooks, history teaches us this.

Latinos had income gains, but not all the news is rosy
Bladimira Martinez takes notes while her daughter and business associate, Yessenia Ramirez, conducts business in Pflugerville last month. Martinez recently started her own cleaning company after years of working for others at or near minimum wage. NICK WAGNER / AMERICAN-STATESMAN
The headlines have been heartening lately for Latinos in Austin and across the country, at least when it comes to narrowing the income and education gaps that have dogged the nation's largest minority group for years.
Recently, we learned that Latinos in the Austin-Round Rock metro area saw a hefty 17 percent increase in median household income from 2015 to 2016 — rising from $48,160 to $56,306, according to new census data.
RELATED: Why Austin-area Latinos saw a big boost in household incomes
Encouraging, yes, but it's not time to get carried away just yet. It's true that household incomes rose for Austin-area Latinos, but they still trail whites by a large margin.
Still, closing the income gap offers hope for anyone who believes in the old cliché that a rising tide lifts all boats. And for some time now in Austin, Latinos and African Americans have lagged behind whites in terms of quality of life barometers like income and educational attainment.
Attempts to close gaps led the city to launch Hispanic Quality of Life and African American Quality of Life initiatives, which I covered many years ago. The reviews were mixed. Some minority residents said they didn't accomplish nearly enough. Some Austinites said the city should help all residents, not just certain minority groups. Regardless where you stood, many of the issues the initiatives sought to address back then are still around.
But back to the good news. Another reason to be encouraged is that there's plenty of demographic evidence around to believe that if the Austin region will continue to prosper, the future will depend to a large part on the young and fast-growing Hispanic population.
In Travis County alone, 47 percent of the child population is Hispanic, researchers with the Community Advancement Network (CAN) found.
"When I speak to groups, I tell them, 'That's our future right there. That's what the community is going to look like in 20 or 30 years,'" Raul Alvarez, who heads (CAN), told me.
Latinos already make up about 32 percent of the roughly 2 million overall population in the Austin-Round Rock metro area, according to 2016 census data. That's no secret. What many people don't know, however, is that demographic experts expect that the Latino population will become the largest portion of the Central Texas workforce sometime in about the next 15 years.
Such projections, however, increasingly lead to worries that Latinos will be left behind because as skill requirements for some careers rise, comparative lack of education could leave a growing share of the local Latino workforce stuck in low-wage jobs.
RELATED: The promise and the challenge of the Latino job puzzle
But there's good news on that front, too. According to experts, one of the logical explanations behind the Latino income increase is that Latinos are reaching higher education levels.
The percentage of Texas Latinos ages 25 and older with at least a bachelor's degree increased between 2015 and 2016, the American-Statesman reported recently.
A new report by the Pew Research Center also found that among Hispanics nationwide, the high school dropout rate is at a new low – 10 percent, continuing a decline spanning several decades. Moreover, as the Hispanic dropout rate plummeted, the share of Hispanic high school graduates who enter college rose, Pew reported.
CASTILLO: A new giving network answers why Latinos need a hand
While encouraging, the new income and education benchmarks aren't all rosy, and pronounced disparities between minorities and whites persist.
Those figures showing the U.S. Hispanic high school dropout rate is at a new low of 10 percent? They don't tell the full story: the Hispanic dropout rate was higher than for any other racial and ethnic group.
And though Austin Hispanics may have closed the gaps when it comes to income, they still lag far behind whites, whose median household income in 2016 was close to $74,000 – 31 percent higher than that of Latinos ($56,306) and 48 percent higher than that of African Americans (49,871).
And when income is measured another way – per capita –Hispanics in Central Texas make less than half of what Anglos on average make per year, according to the Austin Community Foundation.
It shouldn't come as a surprise then that though Hispanics comprise only about a third of the overall Travis County population, they make up 55 percent of all Travis residents living in poverty, according to CAN, which keeps an annual Dashboard on its website that measures socioeconomic indicators.
It's even worse for children. CAN researchers found that Hispanic children, although comprising 47 percent of the child population, make up 74 percent of all Travis County children living in poverty.
For Alvarez, that figure may be more troubling than anything else.
"That's important because it says Hispanics are overrepresented in terms of family and poverty, and they're going to face challenges that other populations are not going to face," Alvarez told me.
In other words, there's good news for area Latinos, but there's much work to be done.

Flaws in AISD's bond decisions show need for an independent committee
TA Brown Elementary on Friday, November 4, 2016. Unstable floor leads to cancellation of classes at Brown Elementary. DEBORAH CANNON / AMERICAN-STATESMAN
Ideally, a bond package for schools would bring together diverse communities across Austin whose residents share a strong support of Austin public schools. Yet the bond package currently being considered, whose price tag is about $1 billion, has divided much of the Austin community, tearing open old wounds of classism and racism and raising new questions regarding transparency, accountability and leadership.
Clearly, the process is broken and in need of drastic change.
To that point, the Austin school district would benefit greatly from an independent bond commission made up of both supporters and skeptics to hash out the complex and often contentious priorities of a large urban district. That commission should reflect the community it serves – economically, racially, ethnically and geographically. It's one way to move beyond the bitter politics that is driving decisions regarding the current bond package that seems headed to a November election.
In the end, whatever decisions are made still would have to go to the Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees for a vote. But right now, matters have turned toxic with a board and superintendent who have bent over backwards to accommodate well-heeled, influential Austin parents and neighborhoods at the expense of many low-income families and people of color.
That can be seen in an emerging, lopsided bond package, which supplanted some key recommendations by an advisory committee to make the bond package more geographically and equitably balanced.
Prime examples of how things have gone off the rails include the last-minute proposal for the Liberal Arts and Science Academy, whose student body is mostly white and affluent, and the elimination of a highly recommended middle school that would serve many students of color who are lower-income.
RELATED: Alberta Phillips: How Austin ISD botched decision to move an acclaimed academy.
LASA would move from the LBJ High School campus to the Eastside Memorial High School campus, displacing mostly minority and low-income students there. Eastside students would move to a new campus at the original L.C. Anderson site. In all, that would cost about $100 million.
Never mind that the LASA proposal would increase segregation, as noted by Trustee Edmund "Ted" Gordon, by increasing to 3 the number of high schools with student bodies that are "over 90 percent black and brown."
"In each one of those high schools, we're well over 80 percent and heading into 90 percent in terms of socioeconomically underprivileged," said Gordon, who represents Northeast Austin.
But the dysfunction doesn't stop there. Trustees continue to lean toward a single bond proposition, offering the lame excuse that if they gave voters, say two choices, voters might approve the less-urgent proposition and vote down the proposition that contains the district's vital needs. In other words, voters are too dumb to discern the district's true needs from the fluff.
We all owe gratitude to the 18 people who serve on the district's Facilities and Bond Planning Advisory Committee. FABPAC members did their job, holding dozens of community meetings and combing through mounds of reports and information to craft a facilities master plan to be used as a blueprint for bond packages. They went about that task for 18 months, prioritizing which schools were most in need of repair, replacement and upgrades, and neighborhoods that needed new schools.
That kind of work is best done by those with a passion for public schools. But the next steps in deciding the scope, shape and timing of a bond package should be done by an independent group, which can impartially assess the district's most urgent priorities, while at the same time gauge what taxpayers can afford.
That would be a healthy, trusted process that provides more checks and balances.
FABPAC members will tell you that in doing their work, they began with a foregone conclusion: There would be bonds. And soon. That was not debatable. The rest they have left to trustees, such as the bond package's price tag, number of propositions and the date they appear on a ballot. Trustees are scheduled to fill in all of those blanks on Monday.
Unfortunately, that process invites the kind of manipulation of the process we've witnessed from Superintendent Paul Cruz and others. It was Cruz who fast-tracked LASA's expansion and move.
RELATED: Community reactions mixed over proposed LASA move to Eastside site.
Obviously, the FABPAC did not believe LASA's expansion rose to the level of needs at T.A. Brown Elementary School, with significant structural deficiencies. That was signaled by the FABPAC's recommendation to insert LASA, along with a middle school for the Mueller development, in its second-tier priorities.
Yet, trustees elevated LASA, but not Mueller's middle school. That did not sit well with Gordon, who referred to such eleventh-hour maneuvering as the "Eastside switcheroo."
"If reinventing the urban school system means abandoning the urban areas of the city, then we're in trouble," Gordon said. "It can't mean that. It has to mean a way in which the east and west can come together to create a school district which is diverse, which is equitable, and which provides all our kids with a quality education – not some kids an elite quality education, and other kids no education – all our kids a quality education."
To achieve that goal, the Austin district needs a new business model for bond planning.

Bahorich moving education board forward; no reason to change leadership
JULY 14, 2015 – State Board of Education chair, Donna Bahorich, Houston, asks a question from staff about GED practices during the State Board of Education meeting held in Austin, Texas, on July 14, 2015. Gov. Greg Abbott appointed her to chairmanship in June 2015. (RODOLFO GONZALEZ / AMERICAN-STATESMAN)
You might say that Donna Bahorich took an old-school approach to proving herself worthy of chairing the State Board of Education, even among some of her critics: She earned it.
That is why her confirmation by the Senate Nominations Committee on Thursday should not be in question. And why the full Senate should support Bahorich' s reappointment as chair of the 15-member State Board of Education.
I'm not saying that state senators should not press the Houston Republican on issues, such as whether biology standards under review should be limited to the science of evolution or watered down with requirements that undermine the science.
And I'm not suggesting that senators ignore controversies the education board – that sets curriculum standards for Texas public schools and oversees the $37 billion Permanent School Fund – regularly wades into, such as its consideration of a textbook about Mexican-American history and culture. Aside from being racially-insensitive, the book contained 141 errors that scholars pointed out.
Consider this insulting passage from the book: "Stereotypically, Mexicans were viewed as lazy compared to European or American workers. Industrialists were very driven, competitive…They were used to their workers putting in a full day's work, quietly and obediently, and respecting rules, authority, and property. In contrast, Mexican laborers were not reared to put in a full day's work so vigorously. There was a cultural attitude of "mañana" or "tomorrow" when it came to high-gear production."
With a deft hand, Bahorich steered the board through that and other such embarrassments, permitting the GOP social conservative bloc on the board to have its say – and at times throw tantrums. All while keeping her eye, and the board's focus, on improving public schools and engaging more people in the process.
As we witnessed in the case of the textbook, "Mexican American Heritage," the board landed on the right decision by voting unanimously not to place the book on its preferred adoption list, akin to denying it a Good Housing seal. As such, it's unlikely that school districts will order or buy the text. She was recognized with a leadership medal from the League of United Latin American Citizens for the way she handled the textbook.
On that front and others, Bahorich has made transparency a key component of the education board's textbook and curriculum standards review process.
For the first time, instructional materials are available online for public review prior to coming before the board for adoption. That permitted educators, community leaders and parents to weigh in on the Mexican American textbook.
"People can sit in their living rooms in their pajamas and get instructional materials instead of going to a (regional) service center to get them," Bahorich told me.
That is a big deal, considering that elected members of the board represent individual districts of about 1.6 million people, twice the size of a state senate district with about 800,000 people.
Under Bahorich's leadership, curriculum standards, such as those for English, Spanish language and reading, also are online for public review before going to the board for final approval. And she has put together major public forums, one dealing with educating a digital generation and the other on educating children in poverty. Those are relevant to public schools, including charters, that educate 5.5 million schoolchildren growing up in a digital world.
First elected in 2012 and reelected in November, Bahorich, 61, is not the enemy of public schools critics predicted she would be, citing her lack of experience with public schools. It's true she home-schooled her three sons then turned to private, religious schools to fill out their education and extracurricular activities.
She gets good marks from critics for being a more collaborative chair than her GOP predecessors in that post, fostering respectful dialogue, expanding board discussions to include opposing or critical viewpoints, among other things. But she also gets her share of criticism, such as for her position — or lack of one — on public school vouchers.
Dan Quinn, a spokesman for the Texas Freedom Network, a nonpartisan watchdog group that monitors and opposes right-wing agendas in education and other areas of government, said Bahorich voted against a resolution, which would have put the education board on the record opposing vouchers.
Bahorich says she has not come to a firm conclusion on vouchers or scholarships that permit parents to use public school money to pay for private school tuition. But, she added, "Nothing should be off the table."
"We should at least talk about them and not immediately reject (vouchers)," she said. "Having no discussion is not serving children."
Perhaps. But as I said to Bahorich, if the state is going to establish a program or pilot in which public dollars are steered to private schools through vouchers or scholarships, it must level the playing field by erecting comparable accountability standards for both, including requirements that prevent cherry-picking or dumping — pushing voucher students back to public schools after private schools have ejected them.
It's should not be that those receiving public education money be exempt from state accountability.
There's also a political reality for keeping Bahorich as chair. Republicans dominate the board, just as they do state government. Gov. Greg Abbott is not about to select a Democrat to chair the board and among the Republican SBOE members, Bahorich is best suited for the chairmanship.
With her, the board might not avoid controversies, but it won't wander aimlessly in that swamp — as it did before Bahorich.

Herstory: Women Who Changed the World
By Ruth Ashby (Editor), Deborah Gore Ohrn (Editor), Gloria Steinem (Introduction)
Publisher: Penguin USA, July 1995
MY HERO recommends this book to young adult readers.
Philosopher, mathematician, teacher, and scholar, Hypatia was one of the leading minds of the fourth century. At the height of her career, she was assassinated, her works pulled from the great libraries and burned. Only a few of her students' letters survive to testify to her incisive mind and to hint at the wealth of knowledge and potential for discovery that were lost with her death. For thousands of years the achievements of women, if not actively erased from human history, have been largely ignored. History was written almost exclusively by men about men - men's wars, men's accomplishments, and men's discoveries. But today, as women around the world are forging ahead in industry, politics, and the arts and sciences, it is more important than ever to look back at those who laid the groundwork for our current achievements. The 120 biographical sketches in Herstory shed new light on women both familiar and little known, while exploring the complex forces that shaped their lives. These women represent the full range of female experience, from those who revolutionized traditional "women's work," such as Fannie Farmer, to remarkable women warriors, from the legendary Trung sisters of first-century Vietnam to Guatemala's Rigoberta Menchu, currently battling for native rights. Historical essays place these women in the context of their times, while sidebars highlight women's wit, wisdom, and work around the globe. For young women searching for where we have been and what we can become, or for anyone interested in the undiscovered wonders of world history, Herstory is an illuminating journey.

Commercial Courts Act, 2015: An Empirical Impact Evaluation
A legislative impact assessment of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015
Summary: This report undertakes an empirical impact evaluation of the Commercial Courts Act, 2015 to determine how effectively it has accomplished its key objectives.
Vaidehi Misra
Ameen Jauhar
The Commercial Courts Act, 2015, was enacted by the NDA government as part of numerous legislative reforms to improve India's economic growth, and boost its image as an investment destination. The Bill tabled in 2015 focused on raising India's ranking in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business index. For this, it made several modifications to the process of civil litation under the Civil Procedure Code. In 2018, the Act underwent some major amendments, including the reduction of minimum valuation of commercial cases from INR 1 crores to INR 3 lakhs.
Given that the Act has witnessed several shifts in goalposts and objectives over the years of discourse, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of this historicity, to unravel the legislative intent behind setting up exclusive commercial courts. Furthermore, we have also empirically gathered data to evaluate how effectively the Commercial Courts Act has been implemented, and how far has it attained its stated objective of expediting high-value commercial litigation.
In this background, our impact evaluation study has found that through this Act, while accomplishing political optics, the government has failed to address systemic challenges of the poor litigation culture in India. Moreover, the implementation of the Act is haphazard and erratic, which has adversely impacted its effectiveness as a set of procedural reforms for commercial litigation.
Vaidehi is a Senior Resident Fellow working in the area of Judicial Reforms. She has an affinity for large data sets and technology informed policy making and is currently working on issues surrounding judicial transparency and streamlining of dispute resolution. She has a B.A.LLB. (Hons.) degree from Jindal Global Law School, Sonipat and an LLM from the University of California, Berkeley with a focus on jurisprudence and social policy.

BkiUbFw4eILhQAZVCjj0 | The concepts of monitoring pest population levels, and taking action as such pest levels approach seasonally-adjusted treatment thresholds is integral to integrated pest management, no matter whether we are speaking of varroa or any other agricultural pest.
When brood is present in a hive, varroa increase is nearly always exponential from Day 1–in non resistant bees, doubling about once a month. This is for the entire varroa population in the hive. The illusion of linear increase in the mite population occurs for two reasons: (1) all exponential growth curves appear linear in the early stages, and (2) the bee population in a colony builds along with the mite population for the first part of the season, so the infestation rate (number of mites per bee) does not change to any great degree so long as the colony is also growing at the same rate as the mites.
The monitoring of the infestation rate of adult bees does not directly reflect the total mite population in the hive, since a proportion of the mites are typically hidden in the brood (about 50% for much of the broodrearing season). Natural mite fall more accurately reflects the total mite load of the colony, but needs to be considered in the context of the size of the colony, and the amount of brood emerging on that day (natural mite fall is mostly correlated with daily adult bee emergence, and typically varies greatly day to day).
The sudden increase in varroa level in late summer, observed when monitored by the sampling of adult bees, gives the illusion that the varroa infestation of the colony has suddenly begun to "go exponential." What has actually occurred is that the recruitment rate of bees tends to rapidly drop off after the main flow, due to reduced broodrearing. This results in a greater infestation rate of the remaining brood, and a shift of the mite population from out of the brood, and onto the adult bees, hence the appearance of an "exponential explosion" of the mites.
This is exactly the same mite data, but plotted on a different scale. The mite growth was exponential at first, but then limited by the reduction in broodrearing by the colony after midsummer.
The other factor that can cause a sudden increase in the mite population is immigration of mites from other collapsing hives, which typically occurs in late summer and fall. Robbing and drifting bees can suddenly increase the mite population of surviving hives within flight range.
The proactive beekeeper will monitor mite levels throughout the season, and apply seasonally-adjusted treatment thresholds to keep the mites at acceptable levels. It is far better for the bees to keep mite populations from building, than it is to reduce them after they've built to damaging levels.
Such seasonal treatment thresholds must take into account a number of factors, such as the point in time of seasonal colony population buildup and decline, the amount of brood present, available windows for treatment (often determined by whether honey supers are present), the method of monitoring, and the expected curve for the mite population in the near future (it declines when there is little broodrearing).
The most important concept to keep in mind is that it is not the mites that kill the colony–it is epidemics of viruses vectored and triggered by a high rate of mite infestation. So long as the infestation rate of the adult bees remains below about the 2% level (assuming complete recovery of mites by your sampling method), viruses are seldom a serious issue. As the level approaches 5%, depending upon the individual colony, in-hive epidemics of either DWV, one of the paralytic viruses, or Lake Sanai Virus begin to occur.
Such virus epidemics, as well as the rate of recruitment of new bees via broodrearing, are highly influenced by the protein intake of the colony, in the form of pollen or pollen sub.
The proactive beekeeper understands pollen, bee, and mite population dynamics, and manages his hives to prevent the relative population of the vector (the mite infestation rate) from exceeding the threshold at which viruses are likely to go epidemic. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUdxPxK7Tt6CA5HiS9 | A person's name cannot be protected under copyright law. Copyright law protects original works of authorship, such as paintings, books, screenplays and musical compositions. Copyright protection does not extend to names, slogans, short phrases or logos. However, in certain instances, a person's name can be trademarked, depending on how it is used.
Although copyright protection is automatic for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium, copyright registration is available for works that meet the applicable requirements. Copyright registration provides many benefits, including the ability to sue for attorney's fees at statutory damages. Because copyright protection is extended only to works of authorship, names and slogans are excluded.
Trademarks are registered to protect the goodwill of companies and individuals selling their goods and services, and to help people properly identify the source of goods or services. Although trademarks are typically reserved for logos, business names and distinctive slogans, individual names can be trademarked in certain circumstances.
For a person's name to be trademarked, it must already be distinctive in the eyes of the public, so that when people hear the name they think of the goods or services offered by that person. In trademark law this standard is referred to as secondary meaning. Also, the more distinct and original the person's name is, the more likely she will be granted a trademark. Celebrities and athletes are the people who most commonly use trademarks to protect their names.
If you wish to apply for a trademark, you will need to complete a trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Before applying for the mark you will need to do extensive research to make sure no one else is using your proposed mark. If you are trying to trademark your name you will need to show that it has secondary meaning, and you will need to check that no one else is using the same name in a similar manner.

BkiUclbxaKPQoka4RoHR | NEW DELHI: All Delhi government hospitals would be made airconditioned and there would be no special VIP wards, health minister Satyendar Jain said on Friday.
Hitting out at BJP and Congress, he said the two parties were "creating hurdles" as they themselves "couldn't achieve much" when they were in power. Jain was speaking at the inauguration of the 106th mohalla clinic. "We are in the process of doubling the capacity of our hospitals from 10,000 beds to 20,000.We would be making all our hospitals airconditioned.

Leading Aircraftman Alex Thomson Paterson
During World War Two, more than 30,000 men served with the Airfield Construction (AC) Wings of the RAF (also known as Works Squadrons). An AC Squadron member consisted of every known trade and profession from the construction industry and their task was to repair bomb-damaged airfields and build new ones. As the war progressed, there was a requirement for longer and heavier runways as the RAF expanded and the USSAF 8th & 9th joined the battle.
Alex Thomson Patterson served with the RAF 5051 Bomb Disposal Squadron which spent most of early part of 1943 in Malta preparing the island's airfields for their role in the invasion of Sicily of 9 July 1943.
Leading Aircraftman Alex Thomson Paterson RAFVR (1369874) died age 21, on 25 May 1944. He was the nephew of Margaret Paterson from Perth and is buried in Wellshill Cemetery.
It is not known how Alex died, but given that he is buried at Wellshill it is likely it happened somewhere in the UK. In the early months of 1944, Airfield Construction Squadrons were involved in the major task of constructing 23 Advanced Landing Grounds in Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire. From which the RAF and USAAF fighter and fighter bomber squadrons would be able to effectively operate during Operation Overlord in northern France and over the D-Day beachhead. Security at military installations and camps was increased on 25 May 1944. Camps were sealed with no one allowed out and patrolled by military police until D-Day on 6 June 1944.
In Italy on 2 May 1944, 1,500 Allied artillery pieces at the beach at Anzio commenced bombardment of the German forces as they started their breakout. The drive was underway on 25 May 1944.

SAGU Launches SAGU.tv Streaming Services
Waxahachie, TX – February 8, 2011 – In December, Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) debuted its new SAGU.tv (www.sagu.tv) streaming service. The resource enables guests to watch University events in real time. SAGU.tv broadcasts chapel services, select athletic matches, student films, student content, seminars, commercials, and other special events. The University also provides upcoming streaming dates and archives of previous events on the SAGU.tv site.
Marketing and Public Relations Director Ryan McElhany explains that the aim is to connect families, friends, alumni, and distance education students to campus activities. "Residential students have the opportunity to experience these events first-hand. We want all of our extended SAGU family and friends to have the same opportunities."
Bosko Ognenovski, a sophomore center for the SAGU basketball team, moved stateside during his senior year of high school, leaving his family in Bitola, Macedonia. When SAGU launched SAGU.tv, Ognenovski was excited to tell his family that they could watch him play. His parents have been appreciative. He explained, "Sometimes, they can't watch all of it [game] because of the time difference, but they really like to watch when they can."
According to SAGU Digital Marketing Manager Daniel Woodward, more than 3,880 people from 35 countries have watched since SAGU.tv's launch. Viewers tuned in from countries such as Serbia, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Slovenia, and Bulgaria. He also points out the social aspects of SAGU.tv. Attendees at the event in person can Tweet from their mobile phones with the designated hash tag. Then, online viewers can see and respond to the discussion by utilizing the Twitter chat to the right of the video player.
Director of Media Services, John Cookman, explained that approximately 90 percent of the production crew is composed of students. Cookman hopes that it will become completely student-led in the future.
As a result of the service, prospective SAGU students can experience chapel from afar and parents can watch their son or daughter preach or lead worship. Viewers can access archived video-on-demand 24-hours per day.
Southwestern Assemblies of God University (SAGU) is a private, Christian university located in Waxahachie, Texas. The University was established in 1927, and now offers more than 60 associates, bachelor's or master's degrees on campus or online.

BkiUbTnxK4sA-5fmvZnR | Since 1990, The Port Hacking Protection Society (PHPS) have produced a quarterly newsletter titled "The Port Hacking Protectorate". These newsletters represent a comprehensive database of information on the Hacking River Catchment. In a joint project, Sutherland Shire Environment Centre and PHPS have now have several editions of "The Protectorate" available on-line via this website.
The Port Hacking Protection Society (PHPS) was formed by a group of Port Hacking residents to fight a proposal in the early 1980s to build a Tombolo in the waterway. In the protracted battle to overturn the proposal, the Society amassed a great deal of knowledge about the waterway, both about the ecology of the waterway and about the urban and regulatory factors which impact that ecology. The battle over the Tombolo over, PHPS decided not to disband, but instead to put its hard-earned knowledge to continued use by remaining involved in issues concerning Port Hacking. In particular, PHPS aims to ensure that Port Hacking remains pristine and enjoyable for users today and for future generations.

BkiUbMA5qoYDgceeitN7 | Hidden Beach Recordings Brings Back Popular 'Unwrapped' Series
By Gail Mitchell
Brent McKeever
Steve McKeever
Jay-Z's 'The Story of O.J,' Travis Scott's 'Pick Up the Phone" among featured tracks on 'Vol. 8: The Chicago Sessions'
Bringing people together through music. That's always been the mission statement of Hidden Beach Recordings, the label that introduced music fans to acts such as Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jill Scott, Kindred the Family Soul, a cappella group Naturally 7 and saxophonist Mike Phillips. Now the label is reintroducing its popular Unwrapped franchise with the release today (May 24) of Unwrapped Vol. 8: The Chicago Sessions.
The trailblazing, generation-bridging hip-hop jazz series dropped the mic on its run nine years ago. "There were too many copycats," says Hidden Beach founder Steve McKeever. "And with the loss of brick and mortar outlets like Circuit City, jazz was getting taken out by all the pillars of the business." But with the changing societal climate post-President Obama, McKeever decided to "roll my sleeves back up."
"I never thought in my lifetime that the country would be so divided: young/old, black/white, blue/red state," adds McKeever, who oversaw the production of Hidden Beach's official Obama inauguration CD-DVD commemorative set, Change Is Now: Renewing America's Promise. "Obama always talked about how we are all more alike than different. Regardless of point of view, his campaign brought people together. The most unifying project we'd put together was Unwrapped. So I decided to ramp it back up."
Artists Mentioned
Distributed by Universal Music Group, the 10-track Unwrapped Vol. 8 features jazz-infused reinterpretations of popular tracks such as Jay-Z's "The Story of O.J.," Travis Scott's double-platinum single "Pick Up the Phone," J. Cole's "ATM" and SZA's "Love Galore." Hidden Beach prefaced the project's return in April with By Popular Demand. That 14-track collection includes the aforementioned Jay-Z and Scott tracks as well as revisits of the series' seven prior volumes through selections like 50 Cent's "21 Questions," 2-Pac's "I Get Around" and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Summertime."
On the surface, it may seem like re-imagining hip-hop songs this way is a simple process. But McKeever stresses that it takes a lot of creative care to choose and then unfold these tracks so that they can become standards in another version a la John Coltrane's "My Favorite Things."
In the case of Lil Uzi Vert's "The Way Life Goes," McKeever points out that while the same hook is used, the song "gets completely transformed. We brought in a gospel singer to do a call and refrain with she and [the vocalist doing the parts of] Lil Uzi trading back and forth. There are also new chords that aren't in the original. This is a record that you can take into a church and have everyone swaying to it."
Of the choice to re-imagine Gucci Mane's "Miss My Woe," McKeever says he heard a blues progression that prompted the idea of using a blues guitar and harmonica. "This isn't necessarily one of his biggest records but I loved the hook. There has to be something there to work with—and we want to bring something new to a record as well."
A native of Chicago, McKeever wanted to record Unwrapped Vol. 8 in his hometown to help "shine a positive light" on the city. The album also boasts the colorful cover artwork of designer Ron Bass, whose fan base includes Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Ellen DeGeneres and Swizz Beatz. Bass' signature crown adorns the cover's upper right corner.
So does the reintroduction of Unwrapped Vol. 8: The Chicago Sessions (arriving on vinyl in June) also mean that Hidden Beach is ramping up for business with a new roster of artists? "We are starting from scratch, talking to new artists right now," says McKeever, "This is a new beginning with our eyes and ears wide open."
As for the Unwrapped series itself, McKeever promises that more volumes will be coming with the possibility of vault reissues down the road. He notes that people have been asking Hidden Beach to expand the Unwrapped spectrum into R&B. "We're in the process of playing with ideas in that world now," says McKeever. "My hope is reach everybody, introducing this concept to the young fans of these songs while letting loyal Unwrapped fans know that we're back." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

The District Attorney's office handles the prosecution of all felony cases bound over by the justice and city courts of Lincoln, Pike and Walthall counties. In addition to a crime victims' assistance staff, this office also has a Bad Check Unit and a Pre-Trial Intervention Program.
The district attorney's victims' assistance staff is available to aid victims of crimes in all aspects of court proceedings and preparations throughout the criminal justice process. This service extends also to finding and connecting them with resources available to victims such as counseling and crime victim's compensation funds.
The Pretrial Intervention Program allows defendants to repay restitution, court cost and attorney fees over a three year period and avoid having a felony conviction on their record. The program can last up to three years. During that time the defendant is supervised by the District Attorney staff and is subject to monthly reporting and other conditions. Upon completion of the program the case against the defendant is dismissed. The program began in October 1995, and is available to first time offenders who commit certain non-violent property crimes, such as embezzlement and failure to support minor children.
The purpose of the District Attorney's Bad Check Unit is to aid in the collection of "insufficient funds" and "account closed" checks that are passed in the 14th district. The service provided by our office is free to the victims except when a complaint is withdrawn at which time the law states a $30 withdrawal fee is required. The law orders that all other fees are paid by the offender. To obtain a packet explaining the procedure for filing a complaint or to get a sign for your cash register you may click on the links below or call or visit either our Magnolia or Brookhaven office.
