California Assemblymember Marc Berman believes the California housing crisis is a larger issue
By Jamil Abed, Mark Haiko, Ellen Hu and Angela Hwang
Assemblymember Marc Berman believes that the housing crisis in California acts as the basis for many other unsolved issues.
Rep. Berman said that California's various issues are "all important." However, the lack of affordable and available housing acts as the "foundation for a lot of the other problems." Homelessness and a lack of well-funded education systems are just a few of those issues.
Marc Berman, the 24 District Assembly representative of California, visited Summit Denali on Oct. 5 to take part in a press conference hosted by Summit News student journalists.
According to The San Francisco Chronicle, the real estate markets in Fremont, San Jose, Oakland, and San Francisco are among the most competitive cities for homebuyers in the United States. The article's source, Redfin, explains that these prices are likely due to the abundance of technology-based companies in the area and their tendencies to bring employees into these cities.
"The cost of living in this area is incredibly high. That puts a lot of pressure on us and it means that a lot of people have to leave and life further and further away," Rep. Berman said. "So now our housing crisis has affected transportation, it's affected the environment, and education."
The housing issue has also led to a higher rate of homelessness. According to The California State Senate, California's 2017 homeless population accounted for 25 percent of the nation's homeless population. This number rose from 22 percent in 2016.
Rep. Berman believes that in order to combat this issue, California must provide the homeless population with the resources they'll need to get back on their feet. "We need to give [homeless citizens] the wraparound services: the mental health services, the job training, the food, so that they can stay housed and they can hopefully eventually become productive members of society," Rep. Berman said. "But it really all starts with housing."
Many issues in California require long-term solutions, including the housing crisis and a lack of funding for education. Rep. Berman believes that tax reform will fix these economic challenges. Rep. Berman said, "The real answer to stabilizing school funding in California is comprehensive tax reform because school funding is so unstable because our tax system is so volatile."
According to an editorial from the Los Angeles Times, "California has the sixth largest economy in the world yet ranks 45th nationally in the percentage of taxable income spent on education." However, recent steps were taken by California Governor Jerry Brown that aim to increase these funds.
"All of those are important issues," Rep. Berman said. "But I think housing and the cost of housing is the first domino that creates all of the other issues."

California State Assemblymember Marc Berman believes that the housing crisis in California is a major problem.
On Oct. 5, Rep. Marc Berman came to visit Summit Denali to answer questions at a student-led press conference led by the journalists of Summit News.
Rep. Berman spoke about the high cost of housing in the state. "This problem is the foundation for many of the other problems we are facing. And living in this area is very, very expensive. So housing is one of the major problems California is facing."
Rep. Berman explained that "the cost of living in this area is very high, which makes people move farther and farther away."
People moving away causes a lot of pollution because they are coming to work from far away which causes another problem. "They drive to work here because most have jobs that are here, but we don't have houses that are in their wanted budget, which then causes another problem, which is pollution," he added.
The housing crisis also leads to another problem, which is that more people become homeless due to the lack of money for housing, he argued.
"We need housing to fix the homelessness. If we have more affordable housing, then that can also fix the homelessness problem."
Marc Berman discusses his work for the State Assembly

State Assemblymember Marc Berman is focused on helping marginalized communities.
"We need to make sure that everybody understands that our diversity is the biggest strength that California has, and the different backgrounds and the different experiences that we bring to solving issues make our solutions that much stronger," Rep. Berman said while discussing what can be done to end discrimination.
On Oct. 5, State Assemblymember Marc Berman visited Summit Denali for a press conference. He discussed helping sexual assault survivors, youth who struggle with mental health issues, members of the LGBTQ+ community and the homeless, among other important issues.
When asked to share some of the projects he has worked on in the past, Rep. Berman discussed the work he has done for sexual assault survivors, including creating the Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights, which "tries to reduce the obstacles to reporting an attack and also tries to make the process a lot better for the survivors as they go through the justice system."
He also added that this year he "extended the statute of limitations for survivors of sexual assault to be able to bring a lawsuit in civil court and receive monetary damages for the impacts of the attack" from two years to 10.
Sharing his reasoning for the change, Rep. Berman added, "The impact of sexual assault … on the survivor is really terrible, and it can take a long time for somebody to … recover from the impacts of the act and then feel comfortable speaking about it and reporting on it – so as we've learned more and more about this issue, it's important that our justice system … provide for an environment where people can go through that process of recovering and then still be able to get the money damages that they should get."
Rep. Berman also talked about the work he did for youth mental health and suicide prevention, with the help of the state budget: "In this year's budget, I got $1.7 million for the state to identify the best online youth mental health and suicide prevention training that's available and then buy enough subscriptions to make it available to every middle school and high school in the state for free."
When asked about what he could do to help the homeless, he also discussed working on mental health, among other factors that could be explored in order to help fix homelessness: "We need to get them into stable housing first and get a stable roof over their head, but … we can't then just give them the keys and walk away; we need to give them the wrap-around services, the mental health services, the job training, the food, so that they can stay housed and they can hopefully, eventually, become productive members of society."
Additionally, when asked about whether he has done work that benefits the LGBTQ+ community, Rep. Berman discussed working with the Trevor Project for training for suicide prevention for students. He also added that "40 percent of Bay Area homeless youth or California homeless youth are LGBT, and we know that a lot of LGBTQ+ youth struggle the most with mental health issues, as they're, you know, kind of, getting comfortable with who they are and being who they are, and so we need to provide more resources and be even more aware of that, so that they feel more welcome in the community as anybody else does."
When asked about marginalized communities and what could be done to end discrimination, Rep. Berman stated that he and his colleagues will keep passing policies that protect immigrant communities and "keep on emphasizing the fact that this is a good thing and not a bad thing and also keep on passing laws that make it illegal to discriminate."
When asked about the immigration policies currently being passed, Rep. Berman stated that he thinks "we're passing good ones in California, and they're passing bad ones in Washington, D.C." Elaborating further, he shared his family's history of immigration, and ended with "immigrants come to America because they want a better life and a safer life than where they are coming from, and that's something we should support; that's something we need to embrace; that's something that makes America a stronger place."
Rep. Berman shared a lot of ideas about making laws that support marginalized people. While discussing empathy, he said, "It's important to respect each other and the differences that we have."
Marc Berman explains his platform

California State Assemblymember Marc Berman values affordable housing, election security and protections for sexual assault survivors. When asked what issue is most important, he stated, "We have a lot of issues." On Oct. 5, Rep. Marc Berman visited Summit Denali to answer questions about his position and what he wants to do in office.
When talking about his most important issues, he leaned the most toward housing, saying, "Housing has impacted the health of the environment and education."
Rep. Marc Berman claimed housing is affecting education in the state; through the lack of housing, teachers have to live farther away, giving them less time to work after school with students and run clubs. On the subject of school funding, he responded, "School funding is so unstable because the majority of our money comes from the volatile income tax," adding that we need to put this money in reserves.
Talking about California's homelessness situation, Rep. Marc Berman stated that we need to give homeless people food after we give them housing so that they can permanently reside there, and that "we need to improve the mental health services to the homeless."
When asked about what role large companies have in the communities they reside in, he said, "They should play a big role," and added that "Apple is terrible when it comes to social corporate responsibilities."
On the subject of global warming, Rep. Marc Berman stated that "the national government is not helping." On the same topic, Rep. Marc Berman said, "Texas and coal states are dead wrong about having a good economy and being good to the environment … we are right; they are wrong."
Reaching the issue of immigration and national government policies, Rep. Marc Berman said, "I think that we are passing good ones in California, and they are passing bad ones in D.C". He proceeded to say, "Both my parents are immigrants … Our diversity makes our state so much stronger … we will keep passing laws to protect our immigrants."
When he was asked what the most important bill he has passed was, he didn't definitively say which; however, he did say, "I think the work I have done with elections and sexual assault survivors… I've done a lot of work with youth mental health."
According to Rep. Marc Berman, he got into politics because growing up in Palo Alto showed him his privileges compared to friends he played competitive soccer with, and one of his relatives being a senator allowed him the opportunity to familiarize himself with politics. He also said that his role models are "my parents, Congressman Mike Honda and Senator Tom Daschle."
When asked what his greatest strength is, he responded "listening and empathy." Connecting back to his role model Tom Daschle, he also pointed out that you need empathy in any leader.
Marc Berman works to support youth
By Andrea Castilleros and Joseph Gutierrez
State Assemblymember Marc Berman would like to better protect the youth in his community through improved mental health services.
"In this year's budget, I got $1.7 million for the state to identify the best online youth mental health and suicide prevention training that is available and then buy enough subscriptions to make it available for every middle school and high school student in the state for free," Rep. Berman said.
According to kidsdata.org, "in 2013-2015, there were 7.9 suicides per 100,000 California youth ages 15-24." Rep. Berman believes that support from community members can help teens dealing with mental health issues. "We need trainers for the prevention of suicide and depression," he said.
He added that the goal is to help youth recover from trauma. "It's important that we recover from that and we understand that is a part of growing up," Rep. Berman said. "We need embrace failure."
The homeless population is also a large demographic who suffer from mental health issues. "A lot of our homeless are going through mental health problems, so we need to get them into stable housing, but we can't just then give them a key and walk away. We have to give them the wraparound services," Rep. Berman said.
"More than one-quarter of the total homeless population nationwide live in California," The New York Times states. This accounts for roughly 114,000 people.
Assemblymember Marc Berman believes California's economy relies on economic change
By Thomas Maiello, Brandon Raybon and Alan Rivera
State Assemblymember Marc Berman believes that the current California tax system is creating economic inequality which shows through the education system.
On Oct. 5, Rep. Berman was interviewed by Summit Denali students during a press conference. "We rely too heavily on income tax and not on property tax," he said.
"Our tax system is so volatile because we rely too heavily on income tax and not enough on things like sales tax or property tax," Rep. Berman said. "When you have a strong economy you get a lot of income tax, and when you have a poor economy you get very little income tax and capital gains tax."
Rep. Berman saw the effects of the California tax system, the largest being economic inequality, on different communities during his childhood. "I got interested in politics because when I played competitive soccer; I got to look at the kids around me and see how they were less fortunate than me," he said. "It made me upset that I was able to receive a good education but other kids around me didn't, even though it was just bad luck that got them where they were."
The inequality in Rep. Berman's childhood community, he argued, is the result of the California tax system. "When you get a downturn in the economy, the state gets way less money, and our school funding is kind of tied as a percentage of a state funding," he explained.
According to the California Department of Education, the education budget makes up 40 percent of the state budget. "The state budget directs how education funds are to be spent," the department's website explains.
Rep. Berman believes that one way to solve this issue is to store money in reserves. "The responsible thing is to put money in reserves because we know that there is going to be an economic downturn."
Assemblymember Marc Berman discusses his government's stances
By Jacob Jasper, Kamal Lakisic and Saad Qazi
According to State Assemblymember Marc Berman, the state of California will continue to act independently from the federal government regarding issues such as climate change and immigration.
Rep. Berman said the federal government's backtracking policies are "not making it easy for us … We think of ourselves as a shadow government … in opposition to federal policies." Rep. Berman describes his party's positions as opposition to many of the policies taken by the new administration, especially on issues of climate change and immigration.
His views echo those of the DNC: "These principles stand in sharp contrast to the Republicans, who have nominated as the standard-bearer for their party and their candidate for President a man who seeks to appeal to Americans' basest differences, rather than our better natures."
Rep. Berman said, when addressing his party's policy on climate change in opposition to federal stance: "[We want to] establish our goal …100 percent renewable energy by 2025." Here, Rep. Berman is reflective of the general state policy in California regarding climate change.
As follows, the Democratic Party is seen to hold some of those same views: "We will reduce methane emissions from all oil and gas production and transportation by at least 40 to 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2025 through common-sense standards for both new and existing sources and by repairing and replacing thousands of miles of leaky pipes. This will both protect our climate and create thousands of good-paying jobs."
When defending his party's policy on climate regulation measures, Rep. Berman said the policy "creates good jobs and also improves the environment." He also stated that his government acted contrary to pressure from other states who felt such efforts were not a proper use of the California budget.

Q: Ubuntu: How to add Systray notification icon using an ruby app? I would like to create a ruby app which will install a notification icon in ubuntu systray (just like Skype, DropBox etc).
What would be the exact instructions to accomplish this? Pointers (or links) would be good too, to help me get started. I have no clue when it comes to ubuntu app programming.

A: I think the answer depends on what desktop you are using. For both gnome and unity, libappindicator seems to work. Maybe this will help you using it in ruby. You might need to configure unity to allow your application to use the systray, though.

In a recently released motors report, Dubizzle Motors – the UAE's largest used car portal, has claimed that four SUVs and sedans, all of them Japanese brands, were the most popularly used cars for the year 2018.
This conclusion was derived after conducting a detailed analysis of approximately 210,000 used cars which were listed for review on the Dubizzle platform. The primary criterion on the basis of which these cars were judged was the 'total number of inquiries received from potential buyers'.
However, when it came to the most viewed car, the Toyota Camry won hands down by recording the highest number of page views – 1.18 million for any registered vehicle. It was closely followed by the Nissan Patrol – 1.15 million, the Toyota Land Cruiser – 1.11 million, the Mercedes Benz (S-Class) – 996,000, and the Mercedes Benz (E-Class) – 956,000. It is also important to note here that all five of these models which topped the page view listing were also amongst the top 10 cars of 2018.
Nonetheless, despite their popularity, none of these cars were listed as 'heftily priced'. In fact, the Bugatti Chiron supercar lost the credit of being the most expensive car of 2018. Costing around AED 14.9 million, the Bugatti was well-received, but its demand remained stagnant.
This clearly indicates a drastic shift in the customer interest from high-priced luxury cars towards more affordable and reliable automobiles. More so, the increase in popularity of both, SUVs and sedans shows that premium used cars have steadily begun to gain considerable traction.
– 61% cars were priced below AED 60,000.
– 20% cars were priced between AED 60,000 – AED 119,999.
– 8% cars were priced between AED 120,000 – AED 179,999.
– 11% cars were priced above AED 180,000.
Additionally, the margin of negotiation between the official listing price (Dubizzle) and the actual selling price (Private) was also reported to be an overwhelming 13.6%. The 2018 motors report powered by Dubizzle Motors has once again affirmed the fact that in the nearfuture, the used car market is bound to grow from strength to strength.

A card reader is a data input device that reads data from a card-shaped storage medium. The first were punched card readers, which read the paper or cardboard punched cards that were used during the first several decades of the computer industry to store information and programs for computer systems. Modern card readers are electronic devices that can read plastic cards embedded with either a barcode, magnetic strip, computer chip or another storage medium.
The Founder, The late VRR Dr. Lewis Bostwick (1918-1995) founded the Church of Divine Man and its seminary workshop the Berkeley Psychic Institute. He was a natural aura reader who saw a rainbow of colors surrounding people and who had a gift of healing. He has taught hundreds of thousands of people how to use their natural clairvoyant abilities to say hello to another spirit and read and heal auras and chakras. Many of his students have moved on to create their own Institute Students have also use the tools taught to incorporate with their own holistic  practice. Clairvoyant readers from all over the world (even a few famous ones) have graduated from the program. All of the Deja Vu Readers are graduates, teachers and former directors.
Keep in mind that "honest and direct" is not the same as "cold and cruel." Your psychic advisor shouldn't make you feel that he or she judges you negatively because of difficult situations in your life. A good psychic advisor will make sure you understand any potential problems without belittling you. It is unlikely that you will encounter an unkind psychic advisor:

Jean Pierre Allaire was counselling a 13-year old Trois Rivieres girl who reported seeing people that others could not. He told the girl she should go to the medium to find out whether she has a psychic gift. He also told her not to tell her psychiatrist about what she was seeing and hearing because that might lead to an increase in the anti-psychotic medications she was taking, which were making her sleepy.
When doing the reading over the phone, it is easy to end at any time. Whatever the reason, whether you are feeling uncomfortable or something else comes up, if you need to end the session early you can simply hang up. This puts a lot less pressure on you as compared to getting up and walking out during a face-to-face reading. Plus, during a live reading, you are only charged for the minutes spent speaking to the clairvoyant. Once you hang up, the charges stop.
Call The Psychic Line at 1-800-966-2294 to set up a reading with one of our gifted Clairvoyants. With our 5-Minute Guarantee, if you are not pleased with how your psychic reading is going, you can end the call within the first five minutes and we will give you your full amount of time with a different Psychic Reader.

In 1960, psychic investigator Andrija Puharich and Tom O'Neill, publisher of the Spiritualist magazine Psychic Observer, arranged to film two seances at Camp Chesterfield, Indiana using infrared film, intending to procure scientific proof of spirit materializations. The medium was shown the camera beforehand, and was aware that she was being filmed. However, the film revealed obvious fraud on the part of the medium and her cabinet assistant. The exposé was published in the 10 July 1960 issue of the Psychic Observer.[168]:96–97
Mom was a believer, but of the discerning variety. She had taken me and my brother to see a man with ESP years earlier. He had audience members use a variety of blindfolds and masking tape to cover his eyes, and then he would read aloud from books by running his hands along them. He hypnotized a shy woman to parade around as a chicken. He didn't make predictions, but he obviously had something special that we marveled at.
For example, Psychic fairs have a block of people that need to be read. To go into a deep trance in such an atmosphere would be difficult. The loud sound, dim lighting, and large amounts of people would not be practical or productive. This is where basic scrying or Tarot Cards may produce better results. Another psychic reader may use different tools in the same circumstances. Some clients may be easier to read than others. Some cases, if more detail or confirmation on a piece of information received, then an additional tool would be very helpful. With some clients some readers may only rely on clairaudience. Yet for other clients prefer a more visual approach so channeling or scrying may be the best tool to use. In the case of missing people, psychometry may be the best tool to gain additional information.
Maybe that's because I believe I've seen the real thing in a few people, one of whom I visit every few years. I won't go to her more than that because she gives so many specifics that it almost takes the fun out of life. She's told me I'm with one of my soulmates (which I found quite tolerable—this idea of several soulmates for each of us) and she's also said I'm an Indigo Crystal Child, which is her explanation for what makes me psychic.

A different set of variables is presented to us every year we garden. If the differences become substantial some of our favorite varieties of vegetables can fail. If we are continually working with the universal principle of diversity in mind, we have a far great chance of being successful and harvesting bountifully no matter what the conditions.
When you plant tomatoes its a good idea to have more than just one kind. My garden has at least 5 different varieties and sometimes more each year.
I have a tiny, tiny cherry tomato that was discovered as a volunteer and it packs a powerful taste punch. I have an excellent large cherry tomato also discovered as a volunteer. Why cherry tomatoes? They're my backups for when the big ones are not producing.
In addition to the cherry tomatoes I grow a couple of my favorite hybrids and a couple of heirloom varieties. If I like the heirloom I'll save the seed or let it reseed itself in the garden for next year.
This year I am going to try one called Super Sioux which Diane (of Diane's Flower Seeds) tells me is an improved version of the old heirloom tomato, Sioux. Its key appeal to me was being known for its ability to set fruit at high temperatures.
That fact never would have caught my eye in prior years but after the hot summer and drought experienced last year —- and seeing tomatoes not set any fruit for more than a month — I thought I'd give this one a try.
I grow at least 3 or more varietes. Early, mid-season and late varieties insure that I have potatoes to enjoy much longer into the season. Also, each variety has different strong points that may be desirable.
Kennebec – one that I have neglected to grow for a few years while trying other varieties — is back on my list this year mainly because of its high yields. These white-fleshed tubers are good cooked about anyway you choose. And its very dependable under most growing conditions.
Chieftan is the early red-skinned variety chosen for this year to satisfy the longing for new potatoes as quickly as possible. In prior years I've grown early Caribe and Reddale (also red-skinned) much to my satisfaction.
Last year I scattered them in an available spot in my side border outside the garden, covered them with straw and harvested beautiful potatoes without the bother of having to kill potato beetles and larvae everyday.
King Harry growing in the border.
In my opinion and the opinion of a friend who loves sampling my strawberries, Earliglow is about the sweetest Strawberry you can grow. But be warned — the birds think so too. I have to have it, but grow it along my side borders rather than in a specific bed. Its a beautiful plant, fits nicely with perennials and other flowers, and I can snack as I work.
My main crop for freezing and using fresh in quantity is Honeyoe. They produce longer, hold on the plant longer, and the birds don't bother them as much. They're sweet, just not as sweet as Earliglow.
If you're a regular here at Tending My Garden you already know how I feel about Lettuce. If you don't have a lot of different varieties you might not have lettuce for the entire season. Some varieties respond better than others in any given season and I plan to always have at least one variety amongst the lettuce that loves it —-no matter what the condition.
New varieties are important to try because sooner or later you'll come across something that hangs on in your garden when all others are done in.
This year I'm trying one called Strawberry Spinach. The online description said it was an ancient plant rediscovered growing at old monasteries in Europe. Although not really a spinach it has spinach flavor and is great is salads. The bit that caught my eye was: it's a real heat lover —–which makes it a great choice for greens in the middle of summer! I can hardly wait! Maybe I'll be able to have salads in August this year rather than just through mid July.
This year I'm trying a zucchini call Zucchetta Ramp Tromboncino Squash. I read some place that it is more resistant to the squash vine borer because the stem is not hollow.
If this works, I'm going to be a happy gardener. Zuccinni that is not attacked by the borer can go on just about forever.
Years ago (maybe 17 or 18 ) I had a zuccinni in the garden that looked like a bush for 5 months. Finally when December came and the zuccinni finally departed, my 8 year old neighbor pointed to the spot where it had been and said to me — "Ohhh, Theresa, where's the plant that was there?" She thought it was a year round plant because it had been there so long!
Beans, Peppers, and anything else.
To assure your success and a bountiful harvest, always keep the principal of diversity in mind when choosing things for your garden. In other words, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Thanks for the input Diane.
Another great article. I'm getting spring fever. Can't wait to get my hands in the dirt. I've been ordering some seeds and making plans.
We had a warm day on Tues. and I picked a bag of spinach and lettuce (which is still living in my little cold frame). Have had delicious salads this week. All because of your inspiration.
I feel the same, Beppy. Am getting anxious to plant. Have lots of plans for the growing season!
I am so pleased that you are getting spinach and lettuce! I think winter salads fresh from the garden are one of life's greatest joys! Another – is inspiring a friend!
I was going to ask how you handled the overload of cherry tomatoes because we have too many to eat right now & hate to see them go to waste. Then I read where you turn them into your garden beds.
I'm sharing them with friends & neighbors as well as trying new recipes.
How did your Super Sioux tomato perform for you?
Im also curious about the Strawberry Spinach. Was it as good as they said it was?
I canned 7 qts of broad beans & 9 quarts of regular string beans yesterday as well as cooking & freezing squash.
All of my counters are full of tomatoes not quite ripe enough to roast yet.
All excess (if there is any) is always turned into my beds Betty. That way — I know it won't go to waste.
Super Sioux was not especially impressive.


Yahoo is set to report quarterly earnings Tuesday, and investors continue to watch whether the spin-off of its Alibaba stake will be taxed. But one "Fast Money" trader believes the stock will go higher even if the deal is taxed.
"I do think that there's value" in Yahoo either way, said trader Tim Seymour. He owns shares of the stock, which has fallen nearly 34 percent this year.
Yahoo said late last month it would continue with the planned spin-off despite the IRS declining to rule if it would be tax-free. Regardless, Yahoo could report disappointing margins, which would drag its shares down even more, said trader Steve Grasso.
Fast casual chain Chipotle also reports Tuesday. The stock has climbed about 5 percent this year in what trader Guy Adami called "extremely volatile" movements.
He would look to buy only if the stock falls on a disappointing report.
Verizon posts earnings Tuesday, but trader Grasso sees more upside in competitor T-Mobile. The stock has soared more than 50 percent this year.

A New Echo Park Bar Is Tapping into History with an Impressive Collection of Madeiras
Thunderbolt brings something unexpected to Temple Street
LaShea Delaney
Nestled between the Park's Finest BBQ and the Knights Inn motel, Thunderbolt has arrived to light up a rather dim stretch of Temple. There aim is to bring a little excitement and southern hospitality to Echo Park. The names of the expertly crafted cocktails hint at southern charm, and fried green tomato sandwiches, biscuits, and peach cobbler are coming out of the kitchen—but the extensive Madeira program is the real nod to the Mason-Dixon.
The Portuguese Island of Madeira has been producing the very distinct fortified wine of the same name for centuries. When ships were sailing from the Old World to the New they would stop in the port of Madeira, off the coast of Africa, to pick up supplies and drink. They would fortify the wines they found with Brandy and stow them away for the long journey. The wine would be jostled, the heat from the West Indies would do its thing, and something much different landed on shore. Madeira became popular in the South 300 years ago, and it hasn't changed much since.
Modern Madeira production doesn't involve sailors fighting off scurvy, but the process is still all about pasteurization, heat, and oxidation. The quality, taste, and essence starts with the grapes. Sercial and Verdelho are the dryer styles, while Boal and Malvasia are richer and sweeter. There are a few other outlier grapes, including Tinta Negra, which makes up a large part of the grapes produced on the island; it's used to make lighter styles of Madeira, so it wasn't recognized until 1980 as a noble Madeira varietal.
Madeira tastes like a special occasion and was what the fore fathers used to toast the Declaration of Independence. In Los Angeles you'll find countless bars where you can enjoy other fortified wines like sherry or vermouth, but finding Madeira has been a bit more difficult—until now.
Currently, Thunderbolt has 25 Madeiras, and the oldest they're pouring is from the '60s. To highlight the drink's history and journey, there's a special menu with a map that shows the circuitous route the fortified wine took to land in America.
Asked why Madeira was important to the beverage program at Thunderbolt, partner Mike Capoferri says, "Madeira was such an important product to the culture there, it was the luxury wine at the time and created wine culture in the South." He feels it's important that Thunderbolt foster a unique experience around Madeira, introducing it to guests that may already be interested in spirits or just looking to try something new. Capoferri hopes to make Madeira accessible: "There is a lot of purpose in the way that we built the menu. It's meant to be an exploration, it's meant to be super educational as you go, it's meant to be affordable."
Los Angeles is in the throes of a booze-drenched renaissance with endless places to drink, but to try something new is still exciting. At Thunderbolt you can have a glass of Madeira, learn something, and maybe find your new favorite drink.

NEET 2016: Supreme Court asks MCI to file response, adjourns the matter till Thursday
Tuesday May 3, 2016 11:46 PM, Agencies
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned the matter on the entrance test for admission to MBBS and BDS courses till Thursday as the Health Ministry and the Medical Council of India (MCI) have been asked to respond to the state governments' plea to hold separate exams this year.
The court sought the response as Maharashtra, Jammu & Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and others sought a relook at the order making NEET mandatory for admission to undergraduate medical courses as they contended that their admission processes were governed by their respective state level laws and rules.
As the Christian Medical College in Tamil Nadu's Vellore sought that they be permitted to continue with their own entrance examination, conducted since 1993, as their focus was taking Christian students, the bench of Justice Anil R.Dave, Justice Shiva Kirti Singh and Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel asked why were they reluctant of taking "Christian" students who have succeeded in National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET).
These are all classifications - SC/ST, minorities etc, the court said pointing out that it was always open for the CMC to have Christian students after the conduct of NEET, as senior counsel L. Nageshwar Rao, appearing for CMC, pointed to the preference for students from the Christian community.
Asking why the college should be forced to take students from NEET, Nageshwar Rao said it intended to "only accrete Christian (students)" who will serve Christian charitable institutions.
However, the apparently unimpressed court said that NEET would save students from appearing in innumerable examinations and parents from spending money for buying forms for different exams.
The Supreme Court had on Monday admitted the review petitions filed by Maharashtra and other states and also by some private medical colleges and agreed for a hearing on Tuesday May 3, 2016 at 02:00 pm.
The apex court on the same day also set up a three-member panel to oversee functioning of the Medical Council of India (MCI) with regard to the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET). The panel will be headed by former chief justice of India R M Lodha.
The top court on Monday also upheld the provisions of a Madhya Pradesh law which enables government to have 50 per cent shares in management seats in private dental colleges.
Maharashtra Education Minister Vinod Tawde was personally present in Delhi when the state filed the review petition in the apex court.
"The students should concentrate on their studies while we fight their case in the Supreme Court", he said.
He also reiterated that the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test MHT CET 2015 will be held on May 5, 2016 as per announced time table.
Karnataka had also announced that the Karnataka Common Entrance Test ( KCET 2016) will be held on May 4 and May 5 as announced earlier.
The Supreme Court had on April 28 directed the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to hold a single entrance test in two phases. While it named the already scheduled All India Pre-Medical Entrance Test (AIPMT 2016) as NEET Phase - 1, it paved way for other test called NEET Phase - 2 for fesh students and those who are appearing in the CETs held in different states.
Over six lakh students sat for the NEET Phase - 1 held on May 1. The NEET Phase -2 is scheduled to be held on July 24, 2016.
As many as eight states opposed the Supreme Court ruling and want the exam to be cancelled and they be given time till 2018 to adapt the NEET.
The issue also marked its impact in the parliament with MPs cutting across party line demanding from the Supreme Court to review its earlier ruling and give states more time.
Meanwhile, a section of students scheduled to appear for the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) launched an agitation on Monday, demanding the state government to oppose the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to medical courses and move the Supreme Court, confused students in other states are banking on the SC hearing today for a positive outocme to end the crisis.
"States like Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh are opposing the NEET and are going to hold their state level entrance exams. Some of them are also planning to move the SC. But our state government didn't clarify its stand," said a statement by the protesting students led by All India Democratic Students' Organisation.
"We demand the state government immediately oppose the NEET and move the Supreme Court to save the future of thousands of students," it said.

Stripers are fishes of the Atlantic Ocean, but they can and do adapt to freshwater environments and are capable of reproducing successfully in freshwater. They have a streamlined, silver body with longitudinal dark stripes running from behind the head to the base of the tail. Stripers can grow to six feet long and over a hundred pounds.
Stripers can be crossed with white bass in a hatchery; the resulting fish are called wipers, hybrid stripers, or sunshine bass. Wipers are fast-growing and aggressive. They can be distinguished from stripers by their stouter body shape, broken lines, and the presence of two tooth patches on the tongue.

calder.io :: How much does a website cost?
This is possibly the most heard question by any web developer, worse it's usually the first question we hear. I find it a little odd honestly. Would you call up an electronics store and ask "I need a new TV. How much will that cost?" without giving any details about what you want at all? How about calling a car dealership with "I need a new car, what do they cost?".
Yet it's almost always the first question I hear when someone wants a website. I guess it makes a little sense, people know that TV's come in different sizes and different technologies, and cars have different models and options. The average person really doesn't understand what is involved in creating a website, they just know they want one and want to know how much it will cost them.
Websites are like any other product.
When thinking about your website think about it like any other product you'd buy. Let's take cars for example. There are dozens of manufacturers, hundreds of models, with thousands of options. You can get from point a to point b in a bargain basement Hyundai Pony or you can get from one to the other in a Rolls Royce Phantom. Do you have to have power windows, air conditioning, or a back-up camera?
Those choices are going to dictate what you pay for your car, just like the choices you make, and options you require are going to dictate what you pay for your website.
What is your budget? Is not a trick question.
To be honest I'm always a little worried how this question will be received when I ask it. I'm concerned that people think it's some sort of scam, that I'll set the cost of their site based on how much they're willing to pay.
Of course that isn't the case. Understanding what a person/company is willing to invest in their website gives me a better understanding of what we can accomplish together. It will affect my direction on what technologies we use, features we can implement, etc.
It also allows us, as developers, to weed out the dreamers. "I have this great idea to compete with Facebook! I have $1,000 to spend too!" Yeah… no.
Determining a budget early in the project saves time, and money. It allows the developer and the client to focus on absolutely critical features first and make sure they fit the budget. In other words it's all part of the process and an important part.
Notice something about that request? Go back to the first section of this article! Of course my first comment was, knowing my friend well and also knowing he doesn't really understand what I do, "Define ridiculous price". I was pretty sure the "ridiculous price" wasn't going to be ridiculous at all, in fact I was positive it was either going to be reasonable or stupidly cheap.
I wasn't disappointed. "Ridiculous" was $499. I smiled to myself, and responded. "Tell her to call them back and take the deal".
I'm not sure if it's because websites aren't physical products, or it's because there are so many fly-by-night companies that will build them for next to nothing. Perhaps we can blame GoDaddy and Web.com for their volume pricing. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a perception among some people that websites have little value or are easy to create.
Like anything else in the world, you get what you pay for with a website. Go back to the car analogy. Yes, the Pony is going to be much cheaper than the Phantom but they aren't the same thing are they? The Pony isn't going to be as comfortable, it probably won't do the things you'd really like it to, it likely won't last as long, but it's cheaper. Your website will likely be your first contact with many potential clients. You may not need a Rolls Royce, but is a Hyundai Pony really the first impression you want to make?
Client: My current website doesn't work right and doesn't look at all like I wanted it to. How much would you charge to fix it?
Developer: * sumbits quote to client.
Client: WHAT???? That's three times what the old site cost!
What features/options do you think you need?
What is your budget to create your site?


AL-ISS, Syria: The young dust-covered rebel looked out warily from a dirt trench facing opposing regime forces as his unit pulled heavy weapons from a planned buffer zone in northern Syria.
Squinting in the sun, he watched over the vast agricultural fields and web of dirt roads straddling opposition and government territory.
In the coming days, this area will see the establishment of a demilitarized zone meant to avert a massive regime assault on the Idlib region, the last major rebel bastion in Syria.
A deal reached last month by rebel backer Turkey and regime ally Russia will see the creation of a 15- to 20-kilometer demilitarized area ringing the Idlib region the country's last insurgent bastion.
Monday, Turkish state news agency Anadolu said Syrian rebels of the National Liberation Front had finished withdrawing their heavy arms from the zone.
The head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel-Rahman, said even Syria's former Al-Qaeda branch Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, and "other less influential militants have withdrawn their heavy weapons from large areas of the demilitarized zone," hoping to avoid a confrontation with Turkish troops and allied Syrian fighters.
The NLF is the main Turkey-backed rebel alliance in the Idlib region, but militant heavyweight HTS and other hard-liners hold a large part of the province and the proposed zone.
HTS has yet to announce its stance on the buffer zone deal.
It also has not comment on the reported withdrawal, which quietly began "two days ago," according to Abdel-Rahman. "Until now, heavy weapons have been removed from northern Hama and eastern Idlib" located in the proposed zone, he said.
The National Liberation Front had started removing weapons at the weekend. No tanks or rocket launchers could be seen at the NLF's position on the Al-Iss hilltop, in the westernmost part of Aleppo province near Idlib.
An older, bearded NLF commander walked through the maze of trenches in sandals, a mustard-colored scarf wrapping his head and a Kalashnikov swung across his back. Rusted barrels and loose cinderblocks littered the upper lip of the trenches, providing added protection. Another younger fighter scrambled into a tunnel dug into the hilltop and reinforced with sandbags and corrugated metal.
"Pulling the heavy weapons will not affect our positions. We are continuing to reinforce and bolster them," NLF commander Abu Walid told AFP.
Government forces are stationed just five kilometers away in the town of Al-Hader, but the front is calm.
The two areas are connected by a trade checkpoint, and trucks of goods can be seen moving back and forth on the dusty road.
As the deadline to establish the buffer zone nears, rebel ally Turkey has dispatched convoys of personnel carriers and troops into Syria on a near-weekly basis.
It already operates more than a dozen monitoring posts around Idlib and Aleppo, and analysts expect the new deliveries to be distributed along what would become a "first line of defense" for opposition areas.
"The entry of Turkish forces to these well-known positions is strengthening day after day," Abu Walid said.
He said "soldiers, tanks, and heavy weapons" were being brought into the monitoring posts.
Some rebels who have signed up to the accord have raised some objections. They say the deal demands too much of them, and fear that it could eventually pave the way for a regime takeover of their main remaining stronghold. Their wariness may be justified.
Sunday, Syrian President Bashar Assad said the deal is just a "temporary measure" to halt bloodshed and that Idlib would eventually inevitably return to state control.


Review of Hypnotism To-day. By Leslie M. Lecron B.A., and Jean Bordeaux, M.A., Ph.D. Foreword by Miiton H. Erickson M.D. (Pp. 278. 25s.) London: William Heinemann Medical Books. 1947.
In the first half of this book the authors give an interesting account of the history of hypnotism and a description of the physiological and psychological phenomena and the theories which have been suggested to explain them. The phenomena are themselves remarkable. There can be no doubt of the reality of the anaesthesia which can be produced. The normal subject can tolerate, though with pain, 45-20 volts, while the hypnotized subject under the same conditions has taken without flinching 120 volts. Major operations have been conducted under hypnotic anaesthesia. This is intelligible on present neurophysiological conceptions, but it is a different matter with hyperaesthesia, about which, to be sure, the evidence is not quite so convincing. Playing-cards with presumably identical backs are shown face down to the hypnotized subject, but each is described as a photograph-for example, of a landscape or portrait. The cards are then shuffled and again shown face down. It is said the subject can identify the cards by the suggested pictures which have been associated with each of them. Some of the subjects who have succeeded with this test have been able to point to minute differences between the cards which, under suggestion, became a feature of the hallucinatory picture. Another improbable phenomenon is that of regression. By appropriate suggestion the subject can be brought to retreat to any age of his life-for instance, early childhoodand then takes on the behaviour, abilities, and vocabulary of that age and can remember precisely and in detail as recent events occurrences of that remote past. Such observations suggest strongly the desirability of further research in thisobscure field.
In the second part of the book the authors give useful indications for the treatment by hypnosis of neurotic states. They write in an interesting and informative way and in a critical and cautious spirit, emphasizing the need for adequate medical investigation before hypnotic treatment is started.

Home TV/Cable News The CW adds six new series to 2011-2012 primetime schedule
The CW adds six new series to 2011-2012 primetime schedule
cmarcucci
The CW released a new fall schedule 5/19 at its upfront presentation from Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC. Presenters included Dawn Ostroff, departing President of Entertainment, and Mark Pedowitz, the new President of The CW. Top of mind were Sarah Michelle Gellar's return to series television in the new drama "Ringer"; and another drama, "Hart of Dixie," starring Rachel Bilson, debuting on Monday nights. Wednesday gets a new celebrity reality series "H8R"; and "The Secret Circle," a new drama about a coven of powerful witches from Kevin Williamson debuts Thursdays. Midseason brings the return and farewell season of "One Tree Hill" and new reality series "Re-Modeled" and "The Frame."
Electro hip-hop group LMFAO staged a flash mob dance and performed their hit song "Party Rock Anthem" to open the show. Ostroff then underscored that in just five years, they've built an "instantly recognizable brand that resonates with both viewers and advertisers and is known for being smartly provocative, culturally current, emotionally authentic and a leader in digital and social media. This upcoming season will continue to establish The CW as a premier destination for our viewers, especially women."
Pedowitz said their priority this season was adding more original programming this upcoming year, and "we've done that with shows that will appeal to our core audience of women, while also bringing in new viewers. We're being aggressive with smart, bold scheduling moves designed to improve key time periods and grow our audience."
On Monday night, one Gossip Girl returns to the 8:00-9:00 p.m. timeslot, leading into Hart of Dixie from 9:00-10:00 p.m. From the creators of Gossip Girl and "The O.C.," the show stars Rachel Bilson as Doctor Zoe Hart, a sophisticated New York City woman who finds herself practicing medicine in a small Southern town.
90210 graduated from West Beverly High and moves over to Tuesday nights, 8:00-9:00 p.m. Following 90210, 9:00-10:00 p.m., is Ringer, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, who stars as a woman on the run. She assumes her twin sister's identity, only to discover that her sister's life is just as complicated and dangerous as the one she's trying to escape.
On Wednesday, new reality series H8R brings celebrities face-to-face with the people who love to hate them, with host Mario Lopez, 8:00-9:00 p.m. With its focus on celebrity culture, H8R gives a great lead-in to the first-ever All-Stars edition of America's Next Top Model from 9:00-10:00 p.m.
Thursday night will feature two shows from star producer Kevin Williamson and based on a series of books by author L.J. Smith. The Vampire Diaries returns in the 8:00-9:00 p.m. timeslot, leading into new drama The Secret Circle from 9:00-10:00 p.m. Britt Robertson stars as Cassie, an orphaned teenage girl who discovers the truth about her lineage – she's a witch who holds the key to an ancient battle between good and evil.
On Friday nights, Nikita moves to 8:00-9:00 p.m. and the Winchester brothers of Supernatural return in the 9:00-10:00 p.m. timeslot.
For midseason, Re-Modeled features modeling industry vet Paul Fisher planning to bring together hundreds of small agencies around the world in a new venture called The Network. The Network will give Paul the leverage to change the industry from the inside out. He has two missions: to make sure agents in small towns no longer get screwed, and to empower models to take control of their careers and lead healthier lives.
The Frame: What happens when your whole life is reduced to one Frame? There's only one rule: if you're out of the Frame, you're out of the game. Ten teams of two, chosen for their dynamic personalities and their existing deep-rooted relationships, are selected to compete in this wild social experiment. These teams will each live in one Frame – a stripped down version of their home living space – for up to 8 weeks, with the entire world watching their inter-personal soap operas play out atop a highly formatted game. Couples cannot physically see one another, but each "frame" is rigged with plasma screens & communication devices that allow for visual and verbal interaction.

In this home we updated two bathrooms to enhance the current function, and also with a view toward possible future needs. In the master bedroom there were doors with conflicting swings that were corrected, and we changed the door hinging and swing in the master bathroom to make the room more comfortable and safer to use. By optimizing the size of the new shower we were able to add a linen closet to provide much improved storage. In addition to a sleek folding shower seat and stylish grab bars, we kept in mind contrasting visual cues to make transitions into and out of the shower safer.
The new shower is bright and open. When folded the teak shower seat is unobtrusive.
The recessed niche and grab bar with shelf provide lots of space for bathing products.
The teak shower seat has a sleek look.
We were able to fit a new linen closet in while still maintaining a spacious shower.
We reinforced the walls wherever we installed grab bars.
The new vanity is higher than the previous one.
The lighted magnifying mirror provides focused lighting for shaving and applying makeup.
We kept the existing tile floor and updated the cabinet, counter, faucet, mirror, light, and wall paint. We used a taller vanity cabinet than had been there previously.
This bathroom was updated with new cabinet, counter, faucet, mirror, light, and paint. We also added a new vent fan and additional ceiling lights. We also reinforced the wall where we added a grab bar toilet paper holder.
BEFORE – The master bathroom had a short vanity cabinet before the renovation. Also, the entry door swung into the bathroom before we switched it.
BEFORE – The previous fiberglass shower insert was large, but it didn't use the space as well as it could have. With the new shower footprint we were able to have a very comfortably-sized shower and add a linen closet in formerly unused space behind the door. Now the door is hinged on the other side and it swings out, which is safer in case anyone ever needs assistance.
BEFORE – The previous shower's unused seats took up too much of the footprint. In the new shower the seat can be folded away when not needed.

It's Time to Turn Out Georgia's Young Black Vote
by Janis Ware
The future of democracy in this country, and Georgia, depends on our 18 to 29-year-old voters.
On Tuesday, Dec. 6, voters in the state of Georgia will once again make their way to the polls to select a senator to help represent the Peach State alongside Senator Jon Ossoff (D) in Washington, D.C.
The midterm election between Democratic Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker that took place a few weeks ago, culminating on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8, ended in a runoff. Here we go again!
In order to have the best turnout possible, Black voters, in particular, (just 1 million of the 3.9 million people that voted, according to the Georgia Secretary of State's Office) need to vote in full force, and that starts with our youngest voters.
The future of democracy in this country, and more specifically in this state, will have a lot to do with how our 18 to 29-year-old voters contribute.
During the midterm election, 18 to 24-year-olds made up nearly 6% of the votes cast. 18 to 24-year-old voters tallied 231,616 votes, according to the Secretary of State's Office. That number fell by nearly a full percentage point in the case of the 25 to 29-year-old voter class, which made up 5% of the tally at 197,766 votes). They made up just 5% of the total votes cast, or 197,766 overall votes.
Proverbs 22:6 reads, "Train up the child in the way he should go…" But by the looks of things, the children (or, in this case, the young people) are training the rest of us.
In comparison, voters ages 70-75 made up 7% of the vote, with 316,372 votes. The 75 to 80-year-olds came in with 227,171 votes or just under 6%, and 80 to 85-year-olds were good for just over 123,000 votes or 3% of the total tally. As a senior citizen and an active voter, I would like to see our numbers dwarfed by our young people.
Our youngest voters must lead the charge.
The overall voter turnout in Georgia saw just 56.9% of active voters cast their votes. Traditionally a runoff election will see far less of a turnout, but if our young voters take time to get to the polls with the enthusiasm they have for the latest styles, that could change. Go to concerts and restaurants, and commit to investing time to vote for the individuals who will determine the leader who represents Georgia for the next six years.
The elected individual will have a say in whether Medicare and social security will remain in place or if the programs will be cut, adversely affecting many senior citizens around the country. Moreover, altering these programs will have a trickle-down effect on the family unit and the financial positions of families for years to come.
Proverbs 17:6 reads as follows: "Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children."
The legacy we leave for the Black voting public in this country is the crown to the many, many people before them who fought and died for the right to vote.
Georgia will continue to be a battleground state, and our youngest voters must lead the charge.

Experts from the region brought their perspective on challenging subjects and engaged in spirited discussions both with fellow panelists and the audience.
The most challenging issue is how to develop the physical and human infrastructure to enhance growing intra-regional trade and exports to the hemisphere, as well as the traditional U.S. market. Preferential export regimes and expanding maquiladoras have produced double-digit export growth in most Central American countries. But this growth is accompanied by increased criminal violence and gang warfare that depletes citizen's trust in their respective governments and is estimated to cost 8-9 percent of GDP per year. If Central America can work as a region to stimulate trade, surely it can develop regional projects to counter trans-national criminal organizations and protect the young men and women whom they prey on.
Despite economic growth, the push to migrate northward remains. In 2010, 3 million Central Americans resided in the United States with widely different legal situations. They remitted a large portion of their salaries back home, providing 20.2 percent of GDP in Honduras and 17.5 percent in El Salvador. These remittances have provided major economic and social support for Central Americans, as well as a safety valve permitting the young to escape unemployment and underemployment in their own nations.
The economic potential of Central America will not be realized until infrastructure in ports, roads, electrical grids, and broadband connectivity is accomplished. Greater use of bond markets and means to access long-term capital finance is needed to pay for much needed infrastructure. Currently, less than 2 percent of GDP is dedicated to physical infrastructure. At 5 percent of GDP and with international financing from multilateral organizations and public private partnerships, prospects improve for accomplishing regional infrastructure projects with close oversight to ensure effective and transparent use of funds. The private sector is an indispensable player in this area, providing investment, technology, management, and training.
An electrical grid exists among six Central American nations, permitting the transmission, sale and purchase of electrical energy under the supervision of the Regional Operating Entity. This permits the sale of excess energy supply to areas with a deficit of electricity. Currently missing is the agreement of participating governments to enter into long-term contracts. In 2012, with the extension of the electrical grid to both Mexico and Panama, the private sector has greater incentive to participate in a more robust and larger market with economies of scale. This should benefit an effective regional energy market.
Finally, situated between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and volcanoes have led, in recent years, to more than 50,000 deaths and the displacement of over 10 million people in the seven Central American countries. Central America is not to blame for the rise of CO2 because it produces less than 5/1000 of green house gas emissions. However, it bears the brunt of climate change brought about by large industrialized emitters. Regionally, the intensity of climate change-related disasters has increased by 5 percent a year. To meet this challenge, a scientific and technical perspective is needed. Also, governments need to develop comprehensive strategies which take into account tourism, coastal projects, shelter management, and erosion. The creation of Early Warning Systems (EWS) in Guatemala are applauded to bring scientific and management skills to the problems of food shortages, hazardous materials and natural disasters. From national to regional, the EWS demonstrates the need to address the problems of the isthmus at a regional level with outreach to experts from around the world.
This report contains the principal points and conclusions from four events on the politics, and economic and social development of Central America held at the Brookings Institution in partnership with the CABEI in 2011 and 2012. The ideas contained here, although not attributed in the text to individual experts, came from the panelists, moderators and keynote speakers of these events. Their remarks are their own and do not reflect the opinions of CABEI. This report is organized by event and identifies three areas: general overview of the topic, main challenges, and policy recommendations.
