Covid vaccine cards are a reminder for the 2nd shot, not a passport
The cards are part of vaccination kits developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Defense and Operation Warp Speed.

With at least two of the Covid-19 vaccine candidates requiring multiple doses, health officials have developed an old school way to help Americans keep track of their vaccine schedule: paper cards.
The cards are part of vaccination kits developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Defense and Operation Warp Speed and will be sent to medical providers and pharmacies. The kits also include syringes and needles, a surgical mask and a face shield. The record card, written in English and Spanish, lists medical information about the vaccine given, the date it was administered and by whom. The cards are intended to fit into a wallet as a reminder when the second shot is due.
On Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence told a roundtable in Memphis, Tennessee, that we are "within a matter of days of distributing tens of millions of Covid vaccinations to the American people."

Historically, similar cards have been used to help patients and doctors keep track of vaccination schedules, although they have largely been replaced by electronic records.
"Giving the adult who got vaccinated a shot card is not a bad idea," said L.J. Tan, chief strategy officer of the Immunization Action Coalition, a nonprofit vaccination advocacy group.
Two vaccine candidates are under review by the Food and Drug Administration, Pfizer and Moderna. Pfizer's vaccine requires a second dose 21 days after the first and Moderna's vaccine requires a second dose 28 days after the first. Because the Pfizer and Moderna shots aren't interchangeable, people will have to make sure that the two shots they get come from the same company.
It's unclear whether the vaccine cards are intended only for people who get the Pfizer and Moderna shots. Another vaccine candidate Johnson & Johnson, which is expected to present preliminary data on its Phase 3 trials in January, will likely require one dose as opposed to two.
Not a vaccine passport
These vaccine cards are not intended to be used as a vaccine passport to get into bars, restaurants or airports.
"These are just for the person to have something to remind themselves of what vaccine they got that they can give to the provider when they come back to get their second dose," Tan said.
There have been concerns about the two-shot vaccines and whether people would skip the second dose or get the schedule wrong, but Dr. Jason Hove, a family medicine physician at UCLA Health, says it's all about motivation.
"People are going to be motivated, it's going to be on the top of their mind," he said. "Given the fact that we're in a pandemic and the seriousness of it, I don't know how much people will really need to be reminded about the second dose."

RSLL 012 | Mastermind Groups: Inspired by Think and Grow Rich
Today's Rock Star Life Lessons podcast is my riff on Mastermind Groups based on the "Power of The Master Mind" chapter of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
This podcast was inspired by, and dedicated to, the musicians in Ariel Hyatt's Music Mastermind. One of my favorite sayings is that "You never know where you'll meet your next collaborator", and as the former "Mistress of the Mastermind", I've seen many collaborations take place among the musicians and music businesses in the group. I joined the group when it started in 2008, and now this Musician's Mastermind has over 1240 members!
The idea behind a mastermind group is that two people can accomplish more than one, and when you put two or more minds together to get something done, resources are multiplied.
If you haven't yet read the business classic, Think and Grow Rich, run out and get it. It just might change your life.

Q: Getting inverse of polynoms with trigonometric functions I'm trying to get the inverse of $$f(x) = \cos(x) + 3x$$
I tried it by definition of $\cos(x)$ with no luck:
$$\cos(x) = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^6}{6!}+...$$

A: there exists no explicit inverse, but an impplicit one is as follow by exchanging "x-y":
$$\large y=\cos x+3x\overbrace{\longrightarrow}^{x\leftrightarrow y} x=\cos y+3y$$
Or in a suitable format as:
$$\cos (f^{-1}(x))+3f^{-1}(x)=x$$
As:
$$f(f^{-1}x)=x$$
So:
$$f'(f^{-1}x).(f^{-1})'(x)=1$$
Since $y$ is a monotonically strictly increasing function and little guessing after drawing its rough sketch maybe you'll recognize:
$$f^{-1}(1)=0$$
So:
$$f'(f^{-1}(1))(f^{-1}(1))'=1$$
Or:
$$(f^{-1}(1))'=1/f'(0)=1/3$$

A: As Aditya answered, there is no analytical inverse fo your function. However, if,as you tried, you can approximate locally your function by a series, you can inverse the series. Suppose you have $$y=\sum_{i=0}^n a_i x^i$$ (you know the $a_i$'s) you could, at least under some conditions, write $$x=\sum_{j=0}^m b_j y^j$$ replace in the first series, develop and cancel as much terms as you can to get the $b_j$'s.
Taking your example $$y=\cos(x) + 3x=1+3
   x-\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^4}{24}-\frac{x^6}{720}+O\left(x^7\right)$$ you should arrive to $$x=\frac{y-1}{3}+\frac{1}{54} (y-1)^2+\frac{1}{486}
   (y-1)^3+\frac{(y-1)^4}{8748}-\frac{(y-1)^5}{78732}-\frac{2
   (y-1)^6}{295245}+O\left((y-1)^7\right)$$

Técnicas del Cable > CPR
What is CPR?
For a long time, we have been hearing these tree acronyms without really knowing what it means and its applications and still there are some doubts about it.
On 01/07/2017 a new standard was introduced, named CPR (Construction Products Regulation) that affected the electric industry.
CPR standard defines as a construction product of all the supplies that will become a permanent part of the finished project. CPR is a harmonized standard mandatory in all the countries in UE.It is applied in all the products for construction, including cables. These cables can be separated into four categories which are energy cables, telecommunications, data, and control.
Before this law was released, as it obliges the European Union, the ministry of economics, industry, and competitivity of Spain modified existent standards (electrotechnical regulations for low voltage (REBT) and safety regulations to prevent fire hazard in industrial sites) to adapt them to the requirements of CPR in related issues with the cables.
New CPR standard classifies different kinds of cables in what are called euroclasses. Euroclasses have the same criteria in every country and they aim to improve the security in the buildings against fire hazards. Nowadays CPR is widely spread in all the new constructions and all the different sectors in the industry.
After a few years of the implementation of CPR, we are proud to announce that Técnicas del Cable has been able to adapt to this new standard while offering a wide range of products to our clients ensuring maximum quality and satisfying the actual needs.
Should I fulfill CPR?
If you are a manufacturer, supplier, installation technician, or engineer the answer is yes. Also is needed to consider each country own normative.
Both manufacturers and suppliers must fabricate and distribute products according to CRP standards. Furthermore, manufacturers must describe the construction product's characteristics issuing a Declaration of Performance (DoP) and validate that the product fulfils the requirements for its euroclass. Products must be recognizable through labels and must show the classification.
Installation technicians, engineers, and final users are responsible for acquiring the right products according to the national requirements.
The engineering department of Técnicas del cable offers technical support and guides our clients to choose the optimal solution for them while accomplishing the current normative
What does CPR regulate?
CPR regulates the properties the construction material must have against the fire. It is measured the fire resistance, emission and amount of hazardous substances, and the shedding of incandescent particles.
It is important to have in mind that CPR only defines properties against fire, so the rest of the technical characteristics must be maintained and are regulated by the usual standards.
The European Union has created unified criteria applicable in all Europe (as a common language) to define the performance against the fire of the cables. To do it a classification from A to F was created depending on how the material reacts depending on emissions of heat in presence of fire.
¿Euroclases? ¿What are them?
Very simple, they are categories depending on different properties previously mentioned.
There are four classifications:
1: Euroclass: according to their flame spread and heat release. From Aca (best performance) to Eca (basic performance) and Fca (flammable).
2: Amount of smoke produced.
s1 Low smoke production and slow smoke propagation.
s1a Transmittance >80%.
s1b Transmittance >60% y <80%.
s2 Medium smoke production and smoke propagation.
s3 None of the above.
3: The flaming droplets released by the cable during combustion.
d1 No droplets and no flammable particles.
d2 No droplets and no flammable particles that last more than 10 seconds.
d3 None of the above.
4: The acidity of the smoke:
a1 Conductivity 4,3.
a3 None of the above.
The additional classifications are only applied to cables ranging from B1ca to Dca.
For instance, if we have a cable labeled as Cca-s1b-d1-a1.
To sum up, we have different classes in which A provides the best performance and F the worst.
¿DOP?
Dop means Declaration of performance and it is the document in which the manufacturer claims that the product has certain specifications and that the products meet these specifications.
In this document, Técnicas del Cable identifies the product, its planned usage and shows the performance of the cable concerning its main characteristics, fire resistance, and emission of hazardous substances previously mentioned.
Técnicas del Cable indicates that he takes responsibility for the conformity of the product Cca-s1b-d1-a1 in this case.

We at Honda of Stevens Creek want to help you be a confident driver everywhere you drive. Today, let's address that dash-indicator light that looks like a low-air tire with an exclamation point on its tread.
If you have recently noticed this light, you might wonder what it conveys. The light is your tire pressure monitoring system indicator. It connects to four tire pressure sensors. One sensor monitors each of your vehicle's tires. When this TPMS light illuminates, your car has a tire pressure problem.
What Do Different Vehicle Safety Ratings Mean?
The team at Honda of Stevens Creek wanted to make certain our customers understood everything about the vehicles they are considering buying. Here are a few of the differences between safety ratings in most new vehicles.
The NHTSA is considered to be a federal government organization. What this means is they use a standardized ratings method that is simple and easy for motorists to relate to. One star would rate poor in crash results, while a rating of five stars means this vehicle passed with no issues in the safety tests.
Rodents can cause serious damage to your vehicle. From chewing through wires and hoses to making their nest in an inconvenient location, rodents can be a nuisance for any car owner. Luckily our service center is specially trained to prevent rodents from being an issue.
At the service center, the technicians can assess your particular car's risk of rodent invasion and aid in installing countermeasures to keep the pests at bay. One tool you can find useful is rodent repellant tape, which has a very spicy coating that deters rodents from chewing on the wires.
Nearly every motorist has experienced that heart-sinking moment when a piece of gravel strikes the windshield and leaves a mark. Left untreated, these small imperfections can turn into cracks that cover the entire surface of the windshield. Knowing how to treat them early will avoid greater cost later on.
One of the biggest causes of death in the car battery is extreme temperatures. If there is a lot of heat or freezing weather, then that is going to wear the battery out quickly. Even if the vehicle is not running, just having the vehicle out in the elements is going to drain the battery.
Sometimes car batteries die in the summer due to the evaporation of the electrolytes. Therefore, you are going to have to take a few preventative measures in order to make sure that the vehicle is going to last throughout the year.
One thing that you are going to realize about road trips is that each is its own unique type of trip. There are many different types of road trips to take. One of the common types of road trips that people take is the multi-day cross country trip in which they are gone from anywhere from a week to a few months.
The differential consists of a gearbox, which is situated between the wheels on a vehicle. The box may be located on the front or rear of the vehicle depending on whether you have front or rear wheel drive. The system functions in combination with the transmission to transfer the power from the engine to the axle to turn the wheels.
Inside of the box contains lubricating fluid designed to keep the gears from overheating. Over time, the internal temperature of the gearbox causes the fluid to deteriorate. The break down may lead to particle contamination or leakage.
With the high popularity of SUVs today, there are many reasons why you may want an SUV for your next vehicle. If you've never owned an SUV, you may have some questions. We at Honda of Stevens Creek are available to answer all your questions and show you the different models. We want to ensure that if you make a purchase, you're getting exactly what you want and know what you're getting.
You want a vehicle with great performance.
One of the most important parts of your engine is the timing belt. It keeps the camshaft and crankshaft operating together. The synchronized motion of these two components is crucial for proper engine function. What happens when the timing belt becomes damaged?

Australian Finger Lime: Vegan Caviar With Health Benefits
Superfoodly July 6, 2020
What is a finger lime?
What do they taste like?
Nutrition facts and health benefits
How to grow trees and seeds
Where to buy the fruit
They have been hailed as being the most exciting gastronomic discovery in recent history. They are one of six citrus species native to Australia, yet they are totally different the others – both there and abroad. Nothing else on earth is like them.
The Australian finger lime is an elongated fruit roughly the size of a human thumb, on average. Their skin is green, maroon, or any shade in-between. Hundreds of tiny juice-filled capsules are inside, which resemble caviar.
Native to the wild rainforests of Queensland and New South Wales, it's an understory shrub – meaning it grows under the shade of the forest canopy.
While it may have been found earlier, the finger lime was not mentioned in published literature until 1989… it's barely 30 years old! (1)
It's so new, even the botanical name remains up for debate.
You will see Wikipedia list Citrus australasica, yet according to many botanists, it differs too much on a genetic basis from regular limes, lemons, and oranges to be part of the Citrus genus. They argue it belongs in a new genus; Microcitrus. As such, you will see some sources list the scientific name as Microcitrus australasica. (2)
1. To open, cut the finger lime in half, not lengthwise.
2. Squeeze out the pearls like you squeeze toothpaste out of a tube.
3. Eat them as a topping on another food, or mixed in with it.
Unlike other citrus fruits which have stringy flesh, the inside of finger limes have juicy encapsulated pearls. When you bite into them, they explode in your mouth with a burst of lemon-lime flavored juice. The green varieties are sour, while the pink taste sweeter.
It's not that the tart flavor is that unique, but rather that it's completely isolated within the caviar-sized globes.
Both professional chefs and foodies alike can get creative with these little beads, by adding another layer of flavor to just about any dish.
What to do with finger lime is far more diverse than the uses for lemon and lime juice. Because they're enclosed balls of juice, their flavor won't percolate throughout the rest of the food and overpower the other flavors. That means they work for both sweet and savory recipes.
As a dessert topping, you can use Australian finger limes as a lip-puckering flavor burst to complement the sweetness of ice cream, chia pudding, and cheesecake.
You don't want to cook with these fruits, because heat can cause them to burst. Add them in after cooking. Entrees of pasta, rice, and seafood, as well as hors d'oeuvres, can all be augmented with a sprinkling of finger lime.

They will also serve as quite the conversation starter, when added to alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. A finger lime mojito recipe is basically the concept of having little balls float inside. Some fine dining establishments in Australia are even using them in champagne, as seen above.

While not yet available in America, down under the brand Wood Lane makes a non-alcoholic soda that uses them as a starring ingredient… Blueberry & Native Finger Lime.
With no sugar added, it's undeniably better for you than a Pepsi!
Whatever their use, many refer to them as vegan caviar because they look like the real thing.
No, not the uber-expensive beluga sturgeon caviar. Those are black and tiny. If you compare finger limes to a roe of salmon or trout eggs, which are pinkish-orange in color, it can be hard to differentiate between the two. At least visually, because their size, shape, and texture are practically identical.
And yes, these limes may be expensive, but they're never as egregious as the cost of real fish eggs. They won't be as bad for your wallet and may even offer you more in terms of nutrition.
There are around 225,000 food entries in the USDA National Nutrient Database, but you won't find this one.
As with other unrefined fruits and vegetables, retailers aren't required to provide nutritional values. Fortunately there is a produce supplier who has tested and published the data.

For comparison, the average apple is 70-100g (2.5 to 3.5 oz). Finger limes are only 15 calories per 2 oz serving, which means an apple-sized portion is just 25 calories with 2g of sugar. You would also be getting 16% of your daily value for fiber and 50% for vitamin C. Sounds like a perfect food for weight loss!
The fruit's high vitamin C content contributes in part to its high level of detected antioxidant activity. Its ORAC value, which is the best way to measure the total amount of antioxidants, was published by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). (4)
For a 100g (3.5 oz) amount, green finger lime have an ORAC of 4,590. Pink finger lime are even higher at 6,510.
Both have higher antioxidant content than dried and fresh goji berries, which are 3,290 and 4,310, respectively. Conventionally grown blueberries are lower too, with an ORAC value of 4,669 for the same weight.
This is a pleasant surprise, as finger limes have over 3x the antioxidants versus other citrus fruits.
Oranges average 2,103, tangerines are 1,627, lemons with peels removed are 1,346 and regular limes are lowest at just 82 for their ORAC. That means the fingered variety are giving you over 50x the concentration of antioxidants as a normal lime!
As to what health benefits exist for these lime fingers is unknown. Searching the nearly 30 million pieces of medical literature in the PubMed database will only yield 2 results for the Citrus australasia plant.
Among those is research out Switzerland, reporting low amounts of the essential oils which are normally found in lime; γ-terpinene, a-pinene, ß-pinene, citral. What the found instead was 6 unique essential oil molecules that have not been seen in any other plant. The oils will be most concentrated in the skin/peel. Certainly, this finding opens up the possibility that there might be unique benefits this fruit can offer. (5)
Anyone who may be interested in studying its essential oil should give California-based Shanley Farms a call at (805) 323-6525. The confirmed by email with us that they can sell the rinds separately, because they're a byproduct of the citrus caviar they sell at grocery stores (more on that below).
They're called "native finger lime" in Australia, but they're certainly not native to America. Only recently introduced, this is not exactly the type of tree you can run over to Home Depot and buy.
Their USDA hardiness growing zone is 10, which as you see from the map, means that you can't have the trees outdoors other than in southern Florida, Texas and coastal California, from San Diego to Los Angeles.

As luck would have it, the online and mail-order nurseries in the United States that carry seedlings and small finger lime trees have blatant warnings that they will not ship to CA, AZ, and FL due to agricultural rules. The two we checked with, One Green World and Pearson Ranch, both had this policy.
Of course in any other state, your climate will likely be too cold to grow them outside year-round. Indoors is another option.
Since they normally grow within the canopy of a rainforest, they don't need full sunlight, but they will grow faster with it. They're self-fertile, so one tree works for pollination, as long as you brush the pollen from flower to flower.
At only 5 feet in height for the dwarf tree varieties, they can fit comfortably in a sunny living room. The regular type grow up to 15 feet tall. (6)
If you are able to buy a finger lime tree, it should bear fruit in as little as 2 years. The seeds will take longer. We can't vouch for how easy or not they are to grow, however you can buy finger lime seeds on Amazon and read the reviews.
If you're like us, you probably don't have the patience, time, or inclination to start a citrus grove inside or outside your home.
Fortunately, more stores are starting to sell finger lime fruit.
At the Whole Foods in El Segundo, California we recently spotted these…
They were in the produce section, in the refrigerated case. Yes, they are 100% fresh. The difference is that Shanley Farms, out of Morro Bay in California, came up with an ingenious way to sell them; remove the rinds and just sell the edible pearls AKA the vegan caviar.
This form offers a couple advantages:
Since you only eat the pearls and not the hard skin, it saves you some prep work.
Since they're less likely to get damaged like fresh fruit, grocery stores that are hesitant to carry something exotic like this species may be more open to trying them out in jars.
Since the jarred pearls have to be refrigerated, you can't buy these online. Have no worries though, because they can ship their fresh and whole citriburst finger limes direct to your door for a very reasonable price. In fact, we used their produce to take the photos you see in this article.
If you live in the US, you can conveniently order them on Amazon from Shanley Farms. If you store them in the fridge after arrival, they should have a shelf life of up to 3 or 4 weeks.
They have to be picked ripe, because they won't ripen after off the tree. You know finger limes are ripe when they change to their final color, which is darker, and can be easily plucked from the branches without much force.
Shanley reports the growing season as July through January. In the southern hemisphere, as a native crop in Australia, its harvest is merely 8 weeks long, from April to late May.
As people become more aware of this truly new superfood, we expect availability to span the calendar, as there are greenhouse growing solutions that could come to fruition if there is the demand to support it.

Lever Brothers was a British manufacturing company founded in 1885 by two brothers: William Hesketh Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme (1851–1925), and James Darcy Lever (1854–1916). They invested in and successfully promoted a new soap-making process invented by chemist William Hough Watson. Lever Brothers entered the United States market in 1895 and acquired Mac Fisheries, owner of T. Wall & Sons, in 1925. Lever Brothers was one of several British companies that took an interest in the welfare of its British employees. Its brands included "Lifebuoy", "Lux" and "Vim". Lever Brothers merged with Margarine Unie to form Unilever in 1929.

History
Starting with a small grocery business begun by his father, William Lever and his brother James entered the soap business in 1885 by buying a small soap works in Warrington. The brothers teamed up with a Cumbrian chemist, William Hough Watson, who became an early business partner. Watson invented the process which resulted in a new soap, using glycerin and vegetable oils such as palm oil, rather than tallow.<ref name="watson">Jeannifer Filly Sumayku, , The President Post, 22 March 2010</ref> The resulting soap was a good, free-lathering soap, at first named Honey Soap then later named "Sunlight Soap". Production reached 450 tons per week by 1888. Larger premises were built on marshes at Bromborough Pool on the Wirral Peninsula at what became Port Sunlight, then part of Cheshire. Though the company was named Lever Brothers, William Lever's brother and co-director James never took a major part in running the business. He fell ill in 1895, probably as a result of diabetes, and resigned his directorship two years later.

Lever Brothers entered the United States market in 1895, with a small New York City sales office. In 1898, it bought a soap manufacturer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Curtis Davis Company, moved its U.S. headquarters to Cambridge and started production at a factory located at what is now Technology Square. By 1929, Lever Brothers employed 1,000 workers in Cambridge, and 1,400 nationwide, making it the third-largest soap manufacturer in the U.S.

In 1925, Lever Brothers acquired Mac Fisheries, owner of T. Wall & Sons.

 Employee welfare and use of forced labour
Lever Brothers was one of several British companies that took an interest in the welfare of its British employees. The model village of Port Sunlight, then in Cheshire, was developed between 1888 and 1914 adjoining the soap factory to accommodate the company's staff in good quality housing, with high architectural standards and many community facilities. The paternalism found at Port Sunlight did not exist in the operations of its subsidiary in the Belgian Congo, where Lever Brothers, through their subsidiary Huileries du Congo Belge'' (HCB), utilised forced labour between 1911 and 1945.

Brands
By 1911, the company had its own oil palm plantations in the Belgian Congo and the Solomon Islands. Lever Brothers Ltd also acquired other soap companies including A&F Pears, John Knight of London, Gossage's of Widnes, Watson's of Leeds, Crosfield's of Warrington, Hazlehurst & Sons of Runcorn and Hudson's of Liverpool. The town of Leverville (the present-day Lusanga) was founded in the then district of Kwango, later part of the Province of Léopoldville, in the western part of the Belgian Congo and was named after William Lever (later Viscount Leverhulme).

Unilever
In September 1929, Unilever was formed by a merger of the operations of Dutch Margarine Unie and British soapmaker Lever Brothers, named as a blend of the two firms' names.  By 1930, it employed 250,000 people and in terms of market value, was the largest company in Britain. Unilever was the first modern multinational company.

The Lever Brothers name was kept for a time as an imprint, as well as the name of the US subsidiary, Lever Brothers Company, and a Canadian subsidiary, Lever Brothers Limited. Lever Brothers was sold to a US capital firm, Pensler Capital Corporation, and renamed Korex in 2008. Korex Don Valley assumed operations of the Lever Brothers Toronto plant. It has since closed and gone bankrupt. The Toronto plant is now being redeveloped into an office and industrial district by First Gulf Corporation.

Presidents
Among its presidents was Charles Luckman who in the 1950s championed the construction of the Lever House in New York City. Luckman left the company before the building's completion, moving on to a notable architectural career, including the design of Madison Square Garden, the Theme Building, the master plan for Los Angeles International Airport, the Aon Center, and major buildings at the Kennedy Space Center and Johnson Space Center.

Prince Andrew 'FALSELY PORTRAYS' he's trying to assist US in Epstein probe - DOJ
Owen Bowcott and Amy Walker
Mon, 08 Jun 2020 14:33 UTC
© Reuters / David Mirzoef
Prince Andrew has become embroiled in a war of words with US prosecutors investigating the disgraced financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Lawyers for the Duke of York issued a statement on Monday accusing the American investigators of misleading the public and breaching their own confidentiality rules in their handling of the inquiry.
Blackfords, the London-based criminal law specialists, alleged in a strongly worded two-page statement that the US Department of Justice (DoJ) had effectively rejected three offers of help volunteered by the prince this year.
The firm noted that the DoJ had "advised us that the duke is not and has never been a 'target' of their criminal investigations into Epstein" and that they had instead sought his confidential, voluntary cooperation.
Geoffrey Berman, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, responded by publicly accusing Andrew of trying to "falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to co-operate" and said a request to schedule an interview had been repeatedly declined.
The Blackfords statement followed media reports that US authorities had formally requested the prince answer questions on the matter. On Monday the US attorney general, William Barr, stated there were no plans to extradite the prince.
Asked during a Fox News interview on Monday whether the US has officially asked Britain to hand over Andrew, Barr said: "I don't think it's a question of handing him over. I think it's just a question of having him provide some evidence." Asked if the prince would be extradited, Barr said "no".
Epstein was found dead in a New York prison cell last year where he was being held on charges of sex-trafficking girls as young as 14. The prince had known the billionaire since 1999 and stayed at several of his residences.
Andrew has been accused of having sex with a young woman provided by Epstein, Virginia Giuffre, when she was 17 - a claim he categorically denies. In November the prince was interviewed by the Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis about his relationship with the disgraced financier.
His remarks sparked a public backlash, and a few days later Andrew issued a statement saying that he would "step back from public duties for the foreseeable future".
The prince, who has always denied any wrongdoing, added: "I continue to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein ... Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required."
However, in January, Berman gave a public statement implying there had been "zero cooperation" with the investigation from Prince Andrew. In March, Berman claimed the duke had "completely shut the door" on cooperating with the US investigation.
On Monday, Blackfords hit back, saying in a statement: "The Duke of York has on at least three occasions this year offered his assistance as a witness to the DoJ. Unfortunately, the DoJ has reacted to the first two offers by breaching their own confidentiality rules and claiming that the duke has offered zero cooperation. In doing so, they are perhaps seeking publicity rather than accepting the assistance proffered.
"On 27 January 2020, Mr Geoffrey S Berman, the United States attorney for the southern district of New York, chose to make a public statement about the duke. This led to worldwide media reports that there had been 'a wall of silence' and that there had been 'zero co-operation' by the duke. These statements were inaccurate, and they should not have been made.
"On 9 March 2020, Mr Berman made further public statements saying that the duke had 'completely shut the door' on cooperating with the US investigation and that they are now 'considering' further options. Again, the first statement was inaccurate and should not have been made."
The statement added: "It is a matter of regret that the DoJ has seen fit to breach its own rules of confidentiality, not least as they are designed to encourage witness cooperation. Far from our client acting above the law, as has been implied by press briefings in the US, he is being treated by a lower standard than might reasonably be expected for any other citizen. Further, those same breaches of confidentiality by the DoJ have given the global media - and, therefore, the worldwide audience - an entirely misleading account of our discussions with them."
Later on Monday, Berman issued his own public statement in response, saying: "Today, Prince Andrew yet again sought to falsely portray himself to the public as eager and willing to cooperate with an ongoing federal criminal investigation into sex trafficking and related offences committed by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, even though the prince has not given an interview to federal authorities, has repeatedly declined our request to schedule such an interview and nearly four months ago informed us unequivocally - through the very same counsel who issued today's release - that he would not come in for such an interview.
"If Prince Andrew is, in fact, serious about cooperating with the ongoing federal investigation, our doors remain open and we await word of when we should expect him."
A Department of Justice spokesperson in the US said it "does not publicly comment on communications with foreign governments on investigative matters, including confirming or denying the very existence of such communications".

Q: XStream converter for converting comma separated values to a list XStream converter for converting comma separated values to a list.
How to write a converter for the following code:
<foo>
 <defaultValues>A,B,C</defaultValues>
</foo>

I want to put comma separated values into a list having three elements A, B & C.
I have referred to the following link, but not getting the required output.
XStream converter for XMLList (similar to Jaxb)
Thanks
Bishnu

A: Here is a solution with an own Converter for Foo. I hope there is a simpler version, where a CollectionsConverter can configured for that.
The Converter:
public final class FooConverter implements Converter {
    private final Mapper mapper;

    // XStream can invoke this parametrized constructor
    public FooConverter(final Mapper mapper) {
        this.mapper = mapper;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean canConvert(@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") final Class type) {
        return Foo.class.isAssignableFrom(type);
    }

    @Override
    public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer,
            MarshallingContext context) {
        final Foo foo = (Foo) source;
        // Needed if there is a alias for this member
        String name = mapper.serializedMember(Foo.class, "defaultValues");
        writer.startNode(name);
        writer.setValue(marshalDefaultValues(foo));
        writer.endNode();
    }

    private String marshalDefaultValues(final Foo foo) {
        final StringBuffer commaSeparatedList = new StringBuffer();

Crawley Blues club
Click here to add a short description
Brief history of CBC
We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary in 2018, thanks for all your support. Marking the anniversary we have Kent DuChaine on 26/1/18 and Brooks Williams & Hans Theessink on 4/5/18, plus lots of familiar faces who have had a long association with the club, come along and join us.
Crawley Blues Club officially came about on 27th Jan '98 when Bill Footman contacted Paul Jones on his Jazz FM show asking "If there are any music fans listening, that would be interested in forming a blues club, in the Crawley area, then please ring this number". 2018 will mark 20 years on and the club like the Queen has two birthdays, the 27th January being the date of that initial call and the 8th May which marked the first gig at Thomson's sports and Social club.
Founder members were Bill, Tony Molloy, Dave Pugh and Fred Ball (picture on the Home page) met in the Swan, West Green and decided they shared a common interest in bringing live music to the area. All of them are still involved in the music, friendships were formed, which have endured the highs and lows and people are still discovering this well-kept secret (now that I think of it the blues have always been that way).
The association with the Hawth goes back to '00 where I was asked to offer advice on blues music for the end of June Folk festival. This was followed by promoting our first gig in the studio on 17/11/00 Rory Block. Highlights in the main theatre include Dr John Jan '05 & Joe Bonamassa Feb '08, both phenomenal talents and interesting to talk to.
Over the years there have been so many highlights at both the club and the Hawth and just picking a few would be difficult but I will give it a try. Ben Andrews played at the Emerald and a full bill saw three support acts and I remember a club regular asking what Ben was like and it was going to be hard to follow what went before. The rest they say is history Ben played a two hour virtuoso performance interspersed with fascinating stories from the road. I was privileged to see Ben play the last Bishopstock festival in front of 6000 people who were stunned and awed in equal measure, it took a further hour and half to dispense CD's, autograph anything people could lay their hands on, such was the audience reaction.
I had heard Geoff Achison on Paul Jones's show being intrigued by a blues singer from Australia. I saw him play at a little pub in Brighton, where he gave a solo performance which blew me away playing numbers such as the Allman Bros 'Whipping Post' in s style I would learn was all his own. He played a duo gig at the Emerald with Richard Studholme then around year later in May '99 he played with the Souldiggers at Thomson's. It was difficult to see how such an awesome acoustic guitarist could segue into the band set which was so low down and funky, Geoff inadvertently introduced me around seven years ago, to Mike Dowling at a gig he was playing in Brentford. I went to see Geoff but was mesmerized by Mike's consummate playing irrespective of the musical genre. He played a National steel guitar in a way I had not heard before with finesse and eloquence finishing the set with a guitar in standard tuning to play Ellington's 'Caravan'. I had never heard the number played solo let alone with such flair and panache. I rang Mike a year later and asked whether he would like to play the UK again, fortunately he did not take me for a complete crank and agreed to return. Along the way, I introduced Mike to another guitar master Big Jim Sullivan and anyone who witnessed the two sell out concerts they played at the Hawth were fortunate, playing like that is a rare treat.
So here we are with many Folk festivals behind us and 10 'Blues under the Sky' starting in July '01 and featuring Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges and Ian Siegal, which overlapped with 10 'Blues festivals' starting Nov '06. Many fine artists have graced our stage over both events including Mike Dowling, Jim Crawford, Spencer Bohren, Doug McLeod, Woody Mann, Spikedrivers, Kent DuChaine, NBZ, Steve James, Del Rey, Toby Walker, Hans Theessink, Brooks Williams and many more.
In recent time, we have had stunning solo performance from Aynsley Lister, surely one of the finest singer/guitarists to emerge in the last 30 years. Also, we have alternated Dave Kelly with Paul Jones and Dave with Maggie Bell, stellar performances that live long in the memory. As recently we had Jerron 'Blind Boy' Paxton, which reminded me of a young version of Dave 'Honeyboy' Edwards who once graced our stage.
I could not have envisaged the memories I have had or friends that I have made, let me know your thoughts about the gigs. The future looks bright; however, we cannot exist without your support, tell your friends, drop us an email and most of all keep supporting the blues club and continue and we promise to bring you the finest in live blues music.

Kevin Smith Is Shooting 'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot' This Fall
Almost two decades after making the first Jay and Silent Bob solo flick, Kevin Smith is returning to the View Askewniverse with Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which he announced was happening about six months ago. Now, it looks like his Supergirl schedule is giving him the break he needs to start shooting his new movie, which officially begins production this fall.
Smith tweeted a photo of himself and Jason Mewes in costume outside the Miramax lot, taken in 2001 when Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was shooting.
In his lengthy announcement back in February, Smith explained that he'd had a number of View Askewniverse — that's the universe that Jay and Silent Bob, Clerks, Mallrats, and Dogma all share — projects in the works that never came together for one reason or another, mostly because he doesn't fully own most of those properties anymore. But, he does own Jay and Silent Bob, and he is finally making a new movie about them.
He describes Jay and SIlent Bob Reboot as "a fun flick in which the Jersey boys have to go back to Hollywood to stop a brand new reboot of the old 'Bluntman & Chronic Movie' they hated so much." Sounds like a worthy follow-up to all those movies we loved when we were fourteen.

GRIP started as an effort to make an asynchronous REST API for Pawn.
Months ago I was invited to participate in the GameX project initiative. GameX was striving to create a modern administrating system for HLDS. To do this many problems queued up, waiting to be solved. One of the major challenges was the interaction with the database.
A long time ago before GRIP and GameX, web-server and HLDS modified database direcly. It was a crude and a brutal approach, which is one of the sources of todays problems.
GRIP was created to fill this gap, by providing asynchronous REST Client for Pawn. Database access and modification, with the server-specific code are delegated to the server and encapsulated in REST API, which is a sophisticated and modern approach.
Before we proceed, I should mention that HLDS and Pawn operate on the main thread. Generally code isn't concurrent.
So to sum up there are 3 key requirements for the GRIP.
3) Support for the modern web standards.
Solutions implemented before, usually achieved only second requirement or just basically nothing. They used raw sockets and blocked the main thread for the IO.
To solve blocking problem requests were dispatched to another thread (See for SQL_ThreadQuery for example). This approach has several problems. One of them is the difficulty on concurrent and safe programming in C++. To speed up things, thread pool should be written. With bad dependency management... This is just a mess!
Why don't use modern programming language which is as fast as C++, but is safe, has greater libraries and tooling support? Yeah, basically no reasons to not to.
Rust has many libraries dedicated to high-performance HTTP(s) requests, implemented (at the lowest level) using non-blocking sockets. It is extremely easy to write something in Rust, which is otherwise nearly impossible in C++.
Thus, I, with the team of dedicated supporters give a birth to a GRIP. It supports modern web standards, will eventually support JSON and many other things..
To familiarize yourself with the API you need little to no knowledge about it's inner structure. You should be familiar with Pawn scripting language in the context of the AMX Mod X and REST API.
First of all, let's see whats the most important point. All the necessary optimizations are done under the hood, developer is exposed only to the high-level view of the things.
You start a request with the corresponding arguments and just after that, function returns immediately. There is no blocking and no way to achieve it by design.
Next I think it is important to describe idiomatic callback implementation. User is forced to provide completion handler, which is guaranteed to be called in the case of success, timeout, cancellation, etc.. Requests completion order is unspecified. On completion, response status should be checked. No function silently fails. it is strict API which forces users to consider all cases. All network requests are done simultaneously in the implementation specified order.
JSON API tries to mimic corresponding json.inc file from AMX Mod X. Some things were removed/changed, because in my opinion they are bad design choices. Such dangerous components should rarely cause compilation errors in the plugin, but in the majority of the cases gRIP JSON API is drop-in replacement of AMX Mod X json.inc .
Anyway they are some fundamental places where my point of view and that of AMX Mod X JSON implementation diverge drastically. Here is semi-complete list of such [problems](https://github.com/alliedmodders/amx...thor%3AIn-line).
Currently building only on the Linux is supported, but there are some discussions and ongoing work for Windows support. Anyway, the best way to get list of up to date build time dependencies is to view [.travis.yml](https://github.com/In-line/grip/blob/master/.travis.yml) section containing debian packages.
After installing these dependencies you need to install Rust, follow your distribution specific instruction or simply download it from [rustup](https://rustup.rs/).
Because, currently Rustup ships by default only host target, you need to manually install 32-bit x86 target for Rust.
To get nice IDE for Rust and C++, I recommend first of all googling and choosing something based on your taste, but I usually develop using CLion with InteliJ Rust plugin, it is very convenient to use in with mixed Rust/C++ project.
To start building you should use cmake, so first of all, do standard procedure.
$ make # Make makefile.
This will compile Rust code, C++ code and produce single shared library at the end. There is no much to tell about this process, but feel free to ask questions (even stupid!). I appreciate contributions and will help anybody, who wants to be involved.
Well done. I was also looking into using Rust for modules, this is awesome.
I have kept an eye on gRIP for sometime as I needed HTTPS access, and couldn't do it otherwise. They should get rid of the curent JSON module and integrate gRIP with it's builtin JSON library into amxmodx 1.9.0 if you wouldn't mind, as an official module ensures long term support. It brings greatly needed features that can't be done without it.

Raised in a small town on Vancouver Island, Laurel grew up skiing and boating by day and reading romances under the covers by flashlight at night. Ever committed to the proper placement of the Canadian "eh," she loves to write books with snapping sexual tension and second chances. She lives outside Vancouver with her law-talking husband and two daughters. At least half her diet is made up of tea.
On a research trip to Montana, Laurel found the inspiration for the town of Sutter Creek, and the Dawson and Fitzgerald families came to life. A FATHER FOR HER CHILD, the second in the Sutter Creek miniseries, is being released by Harlequin Special Edition in print (June 18, 2018) and e-book (July 1, 2018).


Went to a friend's house last Saturday and hung out. Everyone pitched in for a Nachos and Taco Bar, and I made up some brownies. We hung outside and chit-chatted the night away.
I no sooner than got home from the get-together when a friend/co-worker called wanting to hang out. She stopped by with McDonald's breakfast and we hung out until wee hours of the morning gabbing and being silly.
I got to cross off a "must-do" from my bucket list. Tuesday I went with my husband, daughter, and son to a Rob Zombie concert in St. Louis. He did not disappoint. It was freakin' awesome! The only downfall is that we didn't have very close seats. I could see, but still had to strain. I totally wanna go again. But next time, sit closer.
I also heard In This Moment for the first time. It's a band I'd never heard before. The female singer knows how to rock, and the stage theatrics were mind blowing. We got no pics because we weren't close enough to make it matter.
I won't go into the whole long story but we are ding-dongs and totally missed Korn playing. We left before they even came on stage. Ah, well.
We spent Tuesday night at Comfort Inn -Westport in St. Louis. It was a nice enough place to stay. Not great, but not bad.
Before we headed up to the concert on Tuesday, my kids got word that their grandma on their dad's side had passed away. She had been in the hospital for a few days and it was pretty expected. But it was still hard news to take.
Not that any time is a good time, but it was especially hard on my kids because they just lost their other grandma (my mom) four months earlier. That was still quite new and fresh to them.
After making sure it was okay with my ex, I went to Rosetta's graveside service. After all, she had been my mother-in-law for several years. Logan and Adam were both pallbearers, just as they were for my mom's funeral. I think we've had our fair share of deaths this year. No more, thankyouverymuch.
Saturday night we ended up going to Hannibal with a group of friends. They had rented a hotel room, and we went there to hang for a couple hours. Jason was on a roll and reverted to schoolboy antics. We ate at a Mexican restaurant, and I'm sure they were glad to see us leave. Boys will be boys!
Sunday we traveled to my uncle's house to visit with him. My other uncle showed up and played the modified Banjo. He has amazing musical talent and I could listen to him play for hours.
Ready for the school year to start or bummed out about it?
Nothing going on here! But man I am ready for Fall!!
That's so fun you got to go to the concert with your hubby and daughter!!
Wow, does your schedule/ social life let you rest?!
Sorry to hear their other grandma passed :( The concert sounded like a lot of fun. Glad you have such amazing friends to chat the time away with!
Im sorry for your loss. My uncle is in bad shape so we think he is probably dying.Its sad.
My daughter and granddaughter went to hawaii for her fiance alexs parents 30th wedding anniversary.They paid for all of them to go plus his 3 sisters.They had fun.Im sure my shot glass is somewhere. I collect them and have over 100 of them.

Award-winning long-form journalist Eva Holland had always felt that her deepest fear was the death of a loved one. When her mother suddenly passes away, she's sent spiraling into an odyssey of confronting fear itself. Along with investigating the science of fear, Holland uses herself as a test subject, jumping out of airplanes, rock climbing, and delving into her fears of loss to better understand what her research in the science, medicine, and history of fear reveals. Along the way, Holland meets the scientists who are developing a pill to leech the fear and horror from traumatic memories, and seeks out the sufferers of a rare disease that prevents them from ever feeling fear. She sifts through what we know about the dynamics of how fear spreads in a crowd (and, too often, how it metastasizes into anger and hate). And she applies what she learns to managing her own fears.
A mix of Mary Roach and Cheryl Strayed, Holland explores the universal human questions: Why and how do we feel fear? Why does fear seem to spread through groups and crowds like an airborne virus? Most importantly: Is there a cure for fear--and if so, is "facing our fears" really that cure?

Syrian rivals locked in heavy clashes over Aleppo
Government forces pounded Aleppo with air strikes trying to repel most intense offensive by rebels in years.
03 Jul 2015 22:22 GMT

A rebel alliance and Syrian government forces have been locked in a battle in and around Aleppo city with President Bashar al-Assad's regime seeking to repel the major offensive with heavy air strikes.
Thursday's attack, the most intense rebel offensive in Aleppo in three years, aimed to build on recent advances against Assad by an array of groups fighting on separate fronts, including the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group and rebels backed by his regional foes.
A rebel alliance including the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front and the Islamist Ahrar al-Sham said they had set up a joint operations room to run the offensive to "liberate" Aleppo and later govern it according to Islamic law.
One Aleppo resident, a 23-year-old student who gave her name as Sahar, said fighting had been "intensive".
"We are used to the sound of explosions but yesterday there were so many. We heard the blasts but because they were coming from everywhere we didn't know where the shells were falling," she told the AFP news agency by telephone.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group monitoring the war, said the fighting raged into the early hours of Friday.
Rami Abdelrahman, director of the group, said the rebel forces had seized some buildings from government control on the northwestern city outskirts of Jamiyat al-Zahra, but the advance was not of strategic importance.
At least 35 rebels were killed in that area, including a dozen Syrians and many others of Central Asian origin, Abdelrahman said. The Syrian war has drawn foreign fighters from across the Muslim world.
RELATED: What's left of Syria?
Syrian state television said the army had "foiled attempts to infiltrate Aleppo on several fronts, killing more than 100 terrorists" - the regime's standard term for all rebel groups.
A Syrian military source said the air force and artillery had been used to target the rebels, whom he said had used heavy weapons in their attack.
Air strikes were also reported near the town of Azaz in the north of Aleppo province, just over the border from Turkey.
Aleppo, 50km south of the Turkish border, was Syria's most populous city before the country's descent into civil war. It has been partitioned into zones of government and rebel control since 2012.
Aleppo is of vital importance to Assad, and losing it would further entrench a de facto partition of Syria between western areas still governed from Damascus and the rest of the country run by a patchwork of militias.

Q: How do I add multiple adapters and listeners to one class in Android Studio? I am a bit of a newbie to programming in general. I am working my way through a few tutorials but currently a bit stuck.
The code below is for a simple app using lists. But how do I go about adding a second adpapter/listener for another option within the list? I am slightly puzzled where to place it and the answer does not seem to be hitting me in the face even though it is probably simple.
public class TopLevelActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_top_level);
//Create an OnItemClickListener
    AdapterView.OnItemClickListener itemClickListener = new
AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> listView, View itemView, int
position, long id) {
            if (position == 0) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(TopLevelActivity.this,
                ChestCategoryActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }

        }
    };
    //Add the listener to the list view
    ListView listView = findViewById(R.id.list_options);
    listView.setOnItemClickListener(itemClickListener);

    }
}

A: You wouldn't.  See the position parameter to onItemClick?  It tells you which item was clicked.  See how you have if(position==0)?  You'd also have an if(position==1), if position==2, etc. Or more likely use a switch statement.

Ok security on my Google account states something about my IP address so I looked into as much as I can. First I have a cell phone through ATT prepaid no home internet just wireless on my cell so tell me what this is, is someone in Daphne, AL using my IP.
Hi Johnny. I looked up the IP you used when signing up and using our Q&A section. Our IP Address Lookup tool tells me the IP is based out of Daphne, AL. It's quite possibly your mobile provided received a new block of IP addresses or simply rotated from a previous block.
I am also experiencing the same thing but I just ignore it.

BUILDING BRIDGES, CHANGING LIVES!!!
CAPTIAL CAMPAIGN
With your monthly donation, you'll begin to assist us in our "Building Bridges, Changing Lives" Capital Campaign, as we continue to:
Vision Statement: Change the direction of our community youth to divert them from paths of poverty, substance use, and criminal activity and breaking down barriers to their future wealth, healthy lifestyle, and productive citizenship.
Put people first. Create jobs, educational resources, and develop youth programs. Promote sustainability in our neighborhood and community. Assist small, Independent, minority business owners. Create a healthy and caring community. Together with your assistance and support, we can achieve our community goals and build a safe and Caring Community for years to come!
The first step in reaching these goals is purchasing the building that we are currently in. We have been in the building (an old warehouse) since August 01, 2018. Located 213 East Ashley St. Jefferson City, MO 65101, in the heart of low-income families of Jefferson City.
We have raised $15,000.00 of the $35,000.00 down payment that's needed to qualify for the bank loan of $275,000. Acquiring this loan will in allow us to purchase the building we call home.
Who we are, how we started?
Building Community Bridges has helped to fill the needs in our Community since November 16, 2017, through community partnerships and our volunteer staff. From the beginning, BCB has been 100% staffed by volunteers, including the Executive Director. Community volunteers have partnered with BCB to give back their skills they have learned, are naturally gifted in, or passionate about.
While working with the children in the community, especially in the aftermath of the destructive tornado and floods in 2019, BCB saw a need to extend their assistance beyond just youth, and to the family as a whole. With the overwhelming response of needs from the community, and BCB's need to fill the gaps, Building Community Bridges created a core committee of community partners, businesses, nonprofits, and neighborhood residents to establish an active plan to combat the inequities in our community. To fund our work, BCB has relied on support from very generous local donors as well as frequent fundraising activities such as BBQ dinners to support its programs.
Building Community Bridges currently offers the following programs for members of the Jefferson City community.
Servicing our community and those afar:
Twice-weekly food pantry (Monday 4:30pm-6pm Thursday 10am-1pm).
Summer lunch program for children. Runs June-August, providing a well-balanced hot cooked meal.
Monthly Community Days: Usually centered around national holidays, these 4-hour events are open to the community and include free activities and games for kids, live DJ, free food, and table for community partners to share information.
Easter basket giveaway: free easter baskets for children, of all ages.
4th of July parade: BCB participates by making a float each year, highlighting BCB programs such as the Jawbreakers boxing program, and Royal Tigerettes dance team.
Soulfest: This weekend festival showcases local small businesses, local artists, music, food, and culture. Friday events are children and teenager focused. Saturday is focused on businesses, a fashion show, and live entertainment. Sunday's focus is food and Gospel music.
Back-to-school backpack giveaway: The backpacks include all supplies and essential items students will need to start the school year. (Elementary-Middle school students)
BCB Honors: This yearly awards ceremony recognizes our volunteer staff and community partners.
Community Thanksgiving Dinner: BCB prepares a traditional thanksgiving meal which is served to the community, along with activities and games for families.
Christmas Toy Drive: BCB collects new and gently used toys to provide a toy store for parents to get up to 5 toys per child, stocking stuffers, and wrapping paper. Cookies and hot chocolate are served.
Programming offered by BCB: Learning life skills and mentoring the youth is embedded in our programming. Our current programs (listed below) are provided free of charge for all youth 17 and under.
