What's Next in North Korea? Though President Trump declared on Twitter that "there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea," his meeting with Kim Jong Un did not secure any such denuclearization promise from Pyongyang. Rather, the summit's main accomplishment—apart from some striking moments of spectacle—was to warm relations between Trump and Kim. The compliments Trump heaped on the North Korean dictator after the summit echoed his praise of other authoritarian leaders. And the policies he advanced bore little sign of influence from John Bolton, his notoriously hawkish national-security adviser.
Primary Promise: The pro-Trump candidate Corey Stewart won the Republican nomination in Virginia's Senate primary race on Tuesday by rallying voters behind his call to arrest and deport unauthorized immigrants. South Carolina's primary also reflected a changing Republican Party: Incumbent Representative Mark Sanford was defeated for the first time in his scandal-plagued career after his opponent Katie Arrington emphasized Sanford's lack of support for Trump during her campaign.
Business Models: Luxury hotels around the world are struggling to handle a flood of requests from aspiring social-media influencers, who seek free stays in exchange for online promotion. And the bankruptcy of Toys "R" Us, blamed broadly on competition from low-priced retailers, might have another culprit: the private-equity takeover that set out to save the company.
Jared Soares photographed Kiarra Boulware with her niece at Penn North, an addiction-recovery center in Baltimore. Though Kiarra succeeded in gaining control over her alcohol addiction, she has struggled to lose weight and get healthy. Her story sheds light on the many factors behind Baltimore's wide racial life-expectancy gap.

In an effort to better understand autism in humans, researchers in China have been editing monkeys' genes to give them brain disorders. This practice might concern ethicists and animal-rights advocates, who argue that both the efficacy of animal testing and the suffering it may cause are so difficult to measure that such testing may not be justified. While the use of CRISPR and other gene-editing tools is on the rise, experts say the technology is still too flawed to be used on humans, making it likely for animal testing—at least in this field—to continue.

She … constantly throws little jabs at me … The more she communicates in a mean, vicious manner, the less I want to talk to her or involve her in my life. I don't like how she talks to me and treats me, and after a few years of dealing with this, I'm done. But my extended family is close, so cutting her out of my life isn't possible, and I really don't want to do that either. How can I navigate this?

If you have been listening to the news, you know the House Republicans have finally made good on their promise of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act – popularly known as Obamacare. But the passage by the House is only the first act of this three-act drama that will affect millions of Americans. Although much of the debate has been focused on providing coverage for pre-existing conditions, there is more in the bill – much of which affects older adults. And from what I can decipher from all the speculation about the bill's effects, there is both good and bad news for older adults.
The good news is that the Medicare Part D coverage gap ("donut hole") protections created under Obamacare were not repealed. Since the enactment of Obamacare, more than 11.8 million Medicare beneficiaries have saved over $26.8 billion on prescription drugs.
The bad news is that Medicaid would be cut by $880 billion, or 25%, over 10 years and impose a "per-capita cap" on funding for certain groups including older adults. This is a monumental change and shouldn't be understated. Since its inception, Medicaid covered any costs if you met the eligibility requirements for the service. But if this bill becomes law, Medicaid will be limited and there will no longer be a guarantee of service.
But what does Medicaid have to do with you? If you are fortunate and have built a nice retirement nest egg – and won't need long term care such as in-home or nursing home care, probably nothing. But not everyone is sailing that boat.
To emphasize the importance of Medicaid for many older adults, nearly half of all Medicaid spending is for older adults and persons with disabilities which includes covering 60% of all nursing home residents and 40% of costs for long-term care services and supports. That's a big deal.
But the curtain hasn't closed. The Senate will undoubtedly make changes, and one can only guess what the final outcome will be. As it winds through Congress, it's important to follow the legislative process, because for many older adults, the result could determine whether they live with dignity – or not.
The Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River is offering a special free screening just for older adults of the award-winning documentary, The Cats of MIrikitani, on May 17that 1:00 PM. The film tells the fascinating story of Japanese-American painter Jimmy Mirikitani, who was interned in Northern California during WWII, traveled to New York City after the war to revive his art career, but ended up homeless during the 90's.
After the 1-hour film, there will be a short presentation about various Japanese art exhibitions in the Gallery followed by a Gallery tour. You are asked to RSVP to Kristyn Fix at events@columbiaarts.org or call 541-387-8877 ext. 117. The Columbia Center for the Arts is located at 215 Cascade Avenue in Hood River.
Jan Leininger asked me to announce that the public is invited to the local chapter of the Oregon Retired Educators' luncheon meeting on Tuesday, May 16th, at the Imperial River Co. in Maupin. The program will feature Linda Oram's 2000-mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail last year. Luncheon reservations must be made with Wilma Townsend, 541-296-4356, by Thursday the 11th.
Shades of Country will be back playing at the Center on Tuesday night, May 23rd. They have found their country groove and are sounding real good. Music starts at 6:30 and is open to all ages. Donations are always appreciated.
The world-renowned comic actor whose career spanned seventy-five years while directing and starring in silent films and eventually "talkies" was Charlie Chaplin. (Answers were received from Betsy Ayres, Marcia Lacock and this week's randomly selected winner of a quilt raffle ticket, Jerry Philips.)
Continuing with "they-don't-make-them-like-they-use-to" Hollywood movies, this week's "Remember When" question is about a 1952 musical/comedy. What was the name of the movie in which Monumental Pictures' biggest stars, Lina Lamont and Don Lockwood struggled to adapt to "talkies" while Don falls in love with chorus girl Kathy Selden? Email your answer to www.mcseniorcenter@gmail.com, leave a message at 541-296-4788 or send with the movie The Dancing Cavalier.
Well, it's been another week, trying to remember to chew before I swallow. Until we meet again, don't let the sun catch you napping.

Hello friends! Today's post leads on from my first St Lucia post and is all about Jade Mountain; Anse's big sister and the most beautiful hotel I've stayed at. I've been lucky enough to stay at some amazing hotels in the world, but nothing can prepare you for how impressive Jade Mountain is. When we stepped into our room I think I let out a squeal that sounded somewhere in between a baby pig and your gran seeing you after a long time apart. Breathtaking is not a word I use lightly (unless we're talking pizza, then I use it all the time) but breathtaking it is. From the moment you walk up to the colourful reception through a Jurassic Park like entrance - seriously, I think we sang the theme tune a record number of times during our stay - and spot The Pitons just hanging out in the background.
It follows the same concept as Anse - no doors, windows or glass - so the entire front half of your room is completely open. Oh, and looks out across The Pitons. No biggie. The room has everything you could ever need or want; from yoga mats to a big four poster bed, to a jacuzzi bath that overlooks the same view as the pool, oh yeah, AN INFINITY POOL, sun loungers... I was on the verge of locking myself in and refusing to come out ever. Which, to be fair, you could actually do. For the duration of your stay anyway. We spent the evening with some champagne and enjoyed the sunset from the pool (the entire time I was waiting for the moment I'd wake up and find myself in bed back in Glasgow discovering that, as suspected all along, it was just a wonderful - and very extravagant - dream).
In the evening we did toy with the idea of eating in the room, but decided to wander up to the restaurant and see what it was like there. Spoiler: well worth it. The food is beautiful and the atmosphere is so perfectly holiday-like and relaxing, with low lights and a live band. After filling ourselves suitably with scallops and many a dessert, we headed back to the room to find that our butler (oh yes, you, um, you get your own personal butler with the room) had arranged for a bubble bath to be filled. I was already a little overwhelmed and then saw the heart shaped swan towels on the bed... that's when I decided that this was the most wonderful place on earth. The service is completely and utterly out in this world. and the whole time you're there you really do feel like you're in a dream world. The loveliest thing about it is, much like Anse Chastanet, there's absolutely no pretension or flashiness about it, despite the price tag. It's a completely one of a kind hotel and if you're looking for somewhere to stay for an anniversary, a honeymoon or just for a special trip then I honestly, truly couldn't recommend it more. It's especially perfect in those dark Winter months to escape to for some Caribbean sun and relaxation! Read a little more about it here.
Wow it looks absolutely stunning there! I love that big mountain in the distance.
Wellllllll this is quite possibly the most BEAUTIFUL place ever! I remember seeing your posts on social media and it just looks absolutely stunning! The views from the pool are UNREAL, adding this to my bucket list ASAP!
Oh my goodness. Is this place for real!? I've genuinely never even considered St Lucia until now. It's the kind of place I'd love to go for our wedding anniversary. I love that it's not pretentious either - I hate it when you pay lots of money and everyone is stuck up. Waaaah. Adding it to my list!

Tilt-Up Group Cites Most Recycled Content Projects
September 1, 2008 Concrete News
The Tilt-Up Concrete Association is inviting project submissions to be considered for a new Top 10 list highlighting the Most Recycled Concrete Content
The Tilt-Up Concrete Association is inviting project submissions to be considered for a new Top 10 list highlighting the Most Recycled Concrete Content on a project, coinciding with greater market interest in sustainable building solutions. The list's inaugural project is Enterprise Park, a 440,000-sq.-ft. office development consuming 2,300 tons of recycled aggregate in concrete wall and slab mixes. The development is located at the site of Denver's Stapleton International Airport, whose demolition has yielded 6.5 million tons of material.
Using recycled aggregates gives ready mixed suppliers greater flexibility in customizing mix designs that fulfill the needs of the project, says Jay Hock, vice president of sales and marketing for ReCrete Materials, Inc., which mixed the Enterprise Park concrete. Depending upon the recycled aggregate, you may be able to reduce your cement content and/or change the ratio of cement to fly-ash or slag. The foundation mix for the Enterprise Park project incorporated 620 tons of recycled aggregate and 115 tons of fly ash, while the tilt-up walls bear 1,570 tons of recycled aggregate.
Structures built with concrete tend to last two to three times longer than buildings constructed with other common building materials. The same qualities that make concrete a viable green material, such as thermal mass and reflectivity, also help make concrete structures sustainable by providing constant energy efficiency throughout the building's life cycle. Recycled aggregates and supplementary cementitious materials are of great interest in the market now, says TCA Technical Director Jim Baty. Materials such as reinforcing steel bars and concrete mixtures containing fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag or possibly silica fume, advance certification in a rating system like LEED, he adds, as does the use of materials that are produced within a 500-mile radius from the site.

#ICANTKEEPQUIET
in Culture, Equal Rights, Music, Society
It is now over a week since hundreds of thousands of women took to the streets of Washington D.C. and across the world to make the message clear: together we are strong! Our human rights have nothing to do with race, religion, gender or sexuality but Trump's first week in office has, unfortunately, reaffirmed the importance of this plight. Reviving the ban on foreign aid for abortion counseling and pushing the ominous executive order, "Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States" are just two decisions that have put the fears of the women marching into reality. Anti-inclusion and discounting women's rights were among the many issues that brought women together despite, at the time, holding an open mind to what a Trump presidency would actually mean.

One particular moment that stood out from the large crowd that day in Washington was a song performed by a group of women led by Connie Lim, A.K.A MILCK. Quickly going viral, receiving over 14 million views on Facebook, Quiet, written by MILCK, has been dubbed the anthem of the march. Following a little digging, it is not long before one comes across the #ICANTKEEPQUIET campaign and the reason behind the flash mob choir during the march. As a means to speak out and communicate our struggles, MILCK, after facing her own battle with abuse and depression, hopes the #ICANTKEEPQUIET campaign will help people to not only speak up at a time of political turmoil but also create a collective community of strength and personal belief. Speaking to Impakter a few days after the march, MILCK explained her experience of the day, the significance of the campaign and her hopes for its future.
Describe your personal experience and observations during the march in Washington D.C.
MILCK: The march felt like I was hanging out with my good friends, it was very comfortable. People may have had different views on different issues, but the universal feeling I got was that everyone had felt fear in some way and they were trying to remedy that fear with hope. Everyone there was trying to be proactive no matter how differently we view the world. Even though there were so many people, I never felt claustrophobic. I heard a couple of stories that some people there were holding up hate signs but the few people holding up these signs were subsequently surrounded by women holding up signs of love, holding them just that little bit higher. I thought that was so brilliant because it was smart and peaceful way to diminish hate.
How do you feel about the celebrity element of the march?
MILCK: I thought Ashley Judd's performance was so moving; I couldn't stop crying. And Sophie Cruise, just seeing this 6-year-old girl standing there with such confidence was amazing. She is such a great orator and she took these long dramatic pauses so the crowd could cheer, articulately saying things like: "My young friends don't be afraid, there are people in this world with love in their hearts." It felt like I was standing in front of the next Mother Theresa. But the one theme that connected the speeches was the idea that the march was the beginning and the hard work is ahead of us. It got me thinking about my role and place in society. I think women can help lead people into less fearful and divisive places; watching all those women on stage made me feel very sure of that. It also inspired me to not only be an artist but an artist who speaks about the world's issues in order to try and help.

What were your initial expectations with the song and the choir? Did you expect to have such a wide reaching impact?
MILCK: No, not at all, I feel very lucky and excited. Everyone is telling me to 'ride the wave'. I have, however, always had a big vision for the idea and I have been working on the concept of thinking big for a while now. I think it's important. As a product of abuse and depression, I had trouble thinking big for most of my life and it wasn't until I met some great sister friends that things started to change. One of these friends happened to be Krista Suh who founded the Pussy Hat Project and we both are so in awe of how wide reaching our projects have become. I expected to promote healing with the song but I definitely wasn't thinking it was going to go viral, I am still processing what that means. I do know that it is finally 100 percent me compared to the music I have created to please established music corporations.

How did the idea for the project come about?
MILCK: I met this woman through serendipity through a friend of a friend, her name is Ana Ammann, and she is so humble. I have been working with her for a month now and I didn't know that she founded the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, which is this nationwide organisation in the U.S. that empowers young girls through music, it's incredible. We decided to firstly create an interactive campaign using #ICANTKEEPQUIET where people can post stories and photos in a live thread to help people feel less alone. Ana has this beautiful relationship with her son, Henry, who is a young graphic designer and photographer. He was sitting there listening to Anna and I discuss how we were going to get the song out and he came up with the logo; that's when I thought this is way bigger than me and we have to share it.
What do you hope to achieve with this campaign?
MILCK: I think it will become this ongoing project that I live with until I leave this planet. However, I think the first focus is answering requests from different groups across the world who have enquired about obtaining the sheet music to Quiet in order to create their own choirs. I was so inspired and honoured by these requests that I have decided to release the sheet music for free. I also aim to create some tutorial videos. I know a lot of choir directors already have copies and volunteered to digitize it so it's a lot more streamlined and collaborative now. The stories that I am receiving are incredible, they really resonate with me and I would like to receive permission from the owners of these stories to write songs about them. I already have a few singles planned out for the year but in the future, as more and more stories are sent to me, I hope to write an #ICANTKEEPQUIET EP purely based on the subjects of the stories. It is just the idea of creating something beautiful out of something painful and I think that's why so many people are resonating with this song because we're in this grief cycle, trying to accept Trump's presidency and thinking about how we now deal with the fear surrounding it.
The marches around the world represented a huge diversity of issues; do you foresee the march as the beginning of permanent resistance under Trump?
MILCK: I see rallies and marches continuing with a lot of collaboration and communication. I think American culture has changed. Maybe I have lived in a progressive bubble too long; during Obama's time in office there were obviously concerns but we always felt safe, there was a sense of hope and protection.
Do you envision all your future music this year to reflect the #ICANTKEEPQUIET campaign?
MILCK: There will definitely be new music and I'm already working with my team to figure out the end goal. Last year I wrote over 70 songs but because I chose to release Quiet, I am now only focusing on songs that could be fit for a playlist for the Woman's March, for example. So there are some songs I'd like to release, single by single, and once the community builds and there becomes this undeniable demand for an EP or album that would be the next step. I am just going to read people's reaction and figure out where to go from there.

Twenty percent of all #ICANTKEEPQUIET merchandise goes to the charity, Step Up. Why is it important to you to support this particular charity?
MILCK: When I chose this organisation I was in tears reading about why they do what they do. They create these after school, mentorship programmes for girls between the ages of 13-18 and because I suffered domestic violence and an eating disorder when I was 14, I want to be able to give back to girls in that age bracket. I knew I was very vulnerable at that age and I didn't receive the help I needed. It wasn't until my mid-twenties that I decided to go out and find my own mentor. I think a lot of people forget to do that for themselves. The more girls grow up in hostile environments, the less likely that they will feel the need to take care of themselves or feel they deserve to do what they love. Step Up helps girls to pursue their passions, whether that is a certain career, going to university or providing them with a sense of empowerment to go after what they want out of life.

Black Girl Pain – Talib Kweli feat. Jean Grae
[Jean Grae's verse]
This is my verse. If there's any verse to describe my life, it's this very verse. In approximately a minute, this highly political and extremely raw verse explains the complex history of an entire community. Thank you Jean Grae.
This is for Beatrice Bertha Benjamin who gave birth to
Tsidi Azeeda, for Lavender Hill, for Khayelitsha
Athlone, Mitchell's Plain, Swazi girls I'm reppin' for thee
Manenburg, Gugulethu, where you'd just be blessed to get thru
For beauty shinin' thru like the sun at the highest noon,
From the top of the cable car at Table Mountain; I am you
The top of the verse is dedicated to a member of Jean's family; I'm going assume her mother, thanking her for giving Jean life (real name: Tsisdi Ibrahim) and establishes the strength of the black woman from the jump. The following names: Lavender Hill, Khayelitsha, Athlone, Mitchell's Plain, Manenburg & Gugulethu are all suburbs/townships in Cape Town, South Africa. Each one adorn with beautiful people, each one with a painful past. They're all a part of what's known as the Cape Flats; a vast area solely built as a dumping ground for black and coloured people during Apartheid. Taken away from city centers, these townships were sustained by poverty and desperation, ultimately becoming very difficult and violent areas to live in. They were, and some still are, home to hundreds of the poorest poor. I've been to/passed by all of these areas; stayed in Athlone with my own grandparents, had a friend on the outskirts of Gugulethu, and have family in Mitchell's Plain. But like Jean states, despite the area's darkness, beauty shines through.
Girls with the skyest blue of eyes and the darkest skin
For Cape Colored, all, for realizing we're African
These two lines encompass a world of complexities rarely understood. Girls with the bluest eyes and the darkest skin are not uncommon in South Africa. Neither are fair children with the darkest and kinkiest hair. This comes as the result of colonization, interracial relationships, and an unrecognizable bloodline. This race is called (Cape) Coloured; it is legitimate race in South Africa, much like white, black and Asian. Coloured is what I am, it's what I've been raised as, and considering it isn't recognized in Canada, it's something I'll always have to explain. When you're not in South Africa, the task of explaining what is Cape Colored is remarkably difficult. It's an inner struggle many people face, but like Jeanie says, it doesn't matter, we're still African.
For all my cousins back home, the strength of mommy's backbone
The length of which she went for raising, sacrificing her own
The pain of not reflecting, the range of our complexions,
For rubber pellet scars on Auntie Elna's back, I march
Fist raised caramel shinin' in all our glory
Jean was born in Cape Town, but her parents immigrated to New York during Apartheid. So many people were forced to sacrifice their whole lives for safety. Apartheid, especially in the Coloured community, separated and uprooted thousands of families. Whereas one child would be classified as Coloured and denied certain rights, another child from the same family could pass as white and not be allowed to live with their family; 'the pain of not reflecting the range of our complexions,' is a direct reflection of this reality. Likewise, black and coloured people were subjected to physical abuse, assaults and murder, just because. It was never uncommon to have a tank pull through your neighborhood with tear gas and have rubber bullets shot into your front yard. 'Fist raised, caramel shinin' in all our glory,' evidently embodies the Black Panther Party's black fist, symbolizing strength, confidence and the fight against oppression.
For Mauritius, St. Helena; my blood is a million stories
Winnie for Joan and for Edie, for Norma, Leslie, Ndidi
For Auntie Betty, for Melanie; all the same family
Fiona, JoBurg, complex of mixed girls,
For surviving thru every lie they put into us now
This world is yours and I swear I will stand focused,
Black girls, raise up your hands; the world should clap for us
My blood is a million stories. Whether it's my great-grandmother from St. Helena or my uncles who look like old Italian men, we're all the same family. Jean's point is that this race is complex, intricate and difficult to understand, and whether one cousin is 10 shades darker than the other, it's all one family.
The fear to look in the mirror as a woman of colour has never been more prevalent than in today's society. Amongst the bleaching creams and plastic surgeries, the black and coloured communities are falling victim to white ideals of what is beauty. In the same light Kurtis Blow and Nas said it, Jean reminds us that the world is ours. Through all that bullshit, it's a subtle reminder that the world is what we make it, so be proud of who you are and where you come from.

Woman claims Southwest Airlines thought she was trafficking her biracial daughter
8:56 PM EST, Tue November 09, 2021
A California woman is accusing Southwest Airlines of racial profiling, saying she was accused of human trafficking while her and her biracial daughter were traveling.
Mary MacCarthy said she and her 10-year-old daughter, Moira, were flying to Denver on Oct. 22 after MacCarthy's brother suddenly passed away, reported CNN.
The mother said her and her daughter had a short stop in San Jose before they boarded another Southwest flight but realized that they couldn't be seated together.
"I asked flight attendants if we could be seated together but they told us we'd each have to take a middle seat," MacCarthy said. "So with their permission I asked other passengers if they would kindly move so we could be together, especially as my daughter was grieving, and they did. People are nice."
When MacCarthy and her daughter arrived in Denver, MacCarthy said they were met on the jetway by two Denver police officers.
"I got quite a shock; having lost my brother the night before, I thought that someone else in my family had died and that police had been sent to deliver the news!" MacCarthy wrote in an email to Southwest Airlines' media team, which was included in the police report.
"As for my daughter, she was terribly frightened: she was already experiencing the trauma of her uncle's death, and she is scared of police due to constant headlines about how police treat Black people (she is Black). She began to sob and was inconsolable," her email said.

MacCarthy said the officers assured them that nothing was wrong but that they wanted to question them.
"They said they were here because my daughter and I were reported for suspicious behavior, acting suspiciously before boarding and while boarding," she said.
"I took out my phone and immediately started recording. I told (the officer) who we were and that my daughter was crying because she had lost a family member," MacCarthy said.
According to a report from the Denver police, "Both Mother and child were cleared."
The report also noted that officers were responding to a "possible Human Trafficking reported by SouthWest flight attendant" — but MacCarthy said she only found out two weeks later that she was suspected of human trafficking.
"I got a call from Denver Police human trafficking unit letting me know they were following up on the incident," she told CNN.
CNN reached out to the Denver Police Department on Sunday afternoon about MacCarthy's claim but has not received a response.
MacCarthy accuses Southwest Airlines of racial profiling. She said she's retained an attorney and wants the airline to be held "fully accountable."
"I gave the airline plenty of time to contact me and apologize — over two weeks later, I've yet to receive anything more than two brief automated responses. The time for an apology is long past," MacCarthy said.
In her email to Southwest's media team, MacCarthy said she wanted a written apology from the airline, immediate reimbursement of the full price of their tickets, and "additional compensation to account for the trauma imposed on an innocent family, and especially on a grieving ten year-old Black girl."
Southwest Airlines said it is "disheartened" by MacCarthy's account of the events and plans to reach out to her.
"We are conducting a review of the situation internally, and we will be reaching out to the Customer to address her concerns and offer our apologies for her experience traveling with us. Our Employees undergo robust training on Human Trafficking. Above all, Southwest Airlines prides itself on providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for the millions of Customers who travel with us each year," Southwest Airlines spokesperson Dan Landson said in a statement to CNN on Sunday.
"Had this been a White child, there would not have been a raised eyebrow," MacCarthy's attorney David Lane told CNN.

Florida lawmakers frustrated over daylight saving time
Lee Health hopes to order COVID vaccines for kids 5-11 this week


The debate between Jennifer Flanagan and Brian Knuuttila held at Mount Wachusett Community College on Aug. 26 gave a snapshot view of each toward the Senate seat and as a person in general. After listening to both candidates, I felt that I needed to write a response.
Mr. Knuuttila quoted many laws, financial numbers and bragged about knowing the "cost of bread and milk" while "getting lawyers a $50/hour raise." He also questioned Ms.Flanagan about certain voting's out of context to make her look bad. He is the one "out of touch" and his condescending and disrespectful attitude toward his opponent was very noticeable.
Ms. Flanagan has overcome many obstacles in her tenure and remained poised and confident in her explanations to these questions. Jennifer showed her professionalism throughout this examination. She is a true voice for the people and an example of courage. Jen Flanagan is also endorsed by Robert Antonioni, who knows who is the best person to fill his shoes in the Senate.
There is only one clear choice for the next Senator. The one will be an honest and knowledgeable voice for the common man and woman and that is Jennifer Flanagan.


A group of travellers have become the first in the country to be slapped with a local authority ban to stop them returning.
Blackpool Council has successfully landed an injunction from the High Court of Justice against 13 illegal travellers, which stops them entering or remaining in the borough without planning consent.
The authority used the new Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 to secure the landmark ruling on Wednesday.
If the travellers breach the order, the council can alert the High Court and individuals could face prison, a fine or a seizure of assets.
Officials made the application after large groups of travellers took up unauthorised encampments across the town during the summer.
The camps saw up to 240 people and 80 caravans establish themselves on public and private land without consent or planning permission.
The travellers were responsible for a number of incidents including delaying an air ambulance from landing for 20 minutes while medics were attempting to help a man who had suffered a heart attack.
The ruling covers persons unknown on seven parcels of land including two playing fields, a community centre and a car park.
Speaking after the ruling, Councillor Gillian Campbell, deputy leader of Blackpool Council, said: 'This injunction should send a message out to anybody who is thinking of setting up an unauthorised encampment in Blackpool.
'Throughout the summer, we ended up removing this particular group of travellers from a number of areas only for them to move to another site.
'It was extremely frustrating for us but it was also very worrying for the residents who were being harassed by their anti-social behaviour.
She added that the council 'absolutely will not stand' for people illegally setting up camps.
'It's simply not on,' she said.

Q: MVC 4 - Use a different model in partial view Please bear with my noobness, I'm super new to the MVC pattern.
What I'm trying to do
I am building a profile information page for registered users on my site. This page would list data about the user, such as date of birth, telephone number, subscription status, etc.. You get the idea. I would also like to have a form to let users change their password, email address, personal information on the same page.
My problem
The user's data comes from my controller via a passed model variable:
public ActionResult Profil()
        {
            var model = db.Users.First(e => e.UserName == WebSecurity.CurrentUserName);
            return View(model);
        }

The output looks like this in my view:
Phone number:
            @if (Model.PhoneNumber != null)
                    {
                        @Model.PhoneNumber
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        You haven't set up your phone number yet.
                    }

The form in which the user could change his info would use another model, ProfileModel. So basiccaly I need to use two models in my view, one for outputting information and one for posting data. I thought that using a partial view I can achieve this, but I get this error:

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type
  'Applicense.Models.User', but this dictionary requires a model item of
  type 'Applicense.Models.ProfileModel'.

Here's what my call to the partial view looks like:
 @using (Html.BeginForm())
    {
        @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
        @Html.ValidationSummary()

        @Html.Partial("_ModifyProfileInfo")
    }

Here's the partial view:
@model Applicense.Models.ProfileModel

        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Email)
        @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Email)

        @Html.LabelFor(m => m.ConfirmEmail)
        @Html.EditorFor(m => m.ConfirmEmail)

    <input type="submit" value="Update e-mail" />

And finally here's my ProfileModel:
public class ProfileModel
    {
        [Required]
        [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
        [Display(Name = "New e-mail address")]
        public string Email { get; set; }

        [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
        [Display(Name = "Confirm new e-mail address")]
        [Compare("Email", ErrorMessage = "The e-mail and it's confirmation field do not match.")]
        public string ConfirmEmail { get; set; }
    }

Am I missing something? What's the proper way to do this?
Edit:
I remade my code reflecting Nikola Mitev's answer, but now I have another problem. Here's the error I get:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (@Model.UserObject.LastName)

This only occurs when I'm posting the changed e-mail address values. Here's my ViewModel (ProfileModel.cs):
public class ProfileModel
    {
        public User UserObject { get; set; }

        [Required]
        [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
        [Display(Name = "Új e-mail cím")]
        public string Email { get; set; }

        [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
        [Display(Name = "Új e-mail cím megerősítése")]
        [Compare("Email", ErrorMessage = "A két e-mail cím nem egyezik.")]
        public string ConfirmEmail { get; set; }

        [DataType(DataType.EmailAddress)]
        [Display(Name= "E-mail cím")]
        public string ReferEmail { get; set; }
    }

Controller:
public ActionResult Profil()
        {
            var User = db.Users.First(e => e.UserName == WebSecurity.CurrentUserName);

            var ProfileViewModel = new ProfileModel
            {
                UserObject = User
            };

            return View(ProfileViewModel);
        }

And finally here's my user.cs model class:
[Table("UserProfile")]
    public class User
    {
        [Key]
        [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        public int UserId { get; set; }
        [Column("UserName")]
        public string UserName { get; set; }
        [Column("Email")]
        [Required]
        public string Email { get; set; }
        [Column("FirstName")]
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        [Column("LastName")]
        public string LastName { get; set; }
        [Column("PhoneNumber")]
        public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
... You get the idea of the rest...

I'm thinking it's happening because the model is trying to put data in each required columns into the database.
Edit2:
The httppost method of my Profil action:
[HttpPost]
        [Authorize]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public ActionResult Profil(ProfileModel model)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
//insert into database
                return Content("everything's good");
            }
            else
            {
//outputs form errors
                return View(model);
            }
        }

A: The best way to handle this situation is to use and pass viewModel to your Profile controller, viewModel is wrapper class for multiple objects that you want to pass to your view.
public class ProfileUserViewModel
{
   public ProfileModel ProfileModelObject {get; set;}
   public UserModel  UserModelObject {get; set;}
}

Your controller should look like:
public ActionResult Profil()
{
    var profileModel = db.Users.First(e => e.UserName == WebSecurity.CurrentUserName);
    var userModel = //fetch from db.

    var pmViewModel = new ProfileUserViewModel
                          {
                              ProfileModelObject = profileModel,
                              UserModelObject = userModel
                          };

   return View(pmViewModel);
}

And finally your view  :
@model Applicense.Models.ProfileUserViewModel

Phone number:

@if (Model.ProfileModelObject.PhoneNumber != null)
{
   @Model.PhoneNumber
}
else
{
    You haven't set up your phone number yet.
}

A: There is an overload of @Html.Partial which allows you to send ViewData as defined in your controller - this is the method I generally use for partial views.
In your controller define ViewData["mypartialdata"] as ViewDataDictionary. Then in your view
@Html.Partial("_ModifyProfileInfo",ViewData["mypartialdata"])

A: In your [HttpPost] profil function, if modelstate.isvalid is false, you return your edit view, but you need to define your pmViewModel again , other wise your partial view will not have an object to display. Try using the following and let us know what happens
[HttpPost]
[Authorize]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Profil(ProfileModel model)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        //insert into database
        return Content("everything's good");
    }
    else
    {
        //outputs form errors
        var pmViewModel = new ProfileUserViewModel
        {
            ProfileModelObject = profileModel,
            UserModelObject = userModel
        };

        return View(model);
    }
}

A: While I know this question has been asked longtime ago however some people might still face a similar problem. One easy solution I use to pass or have more than one view model on a page is to use a ViewBag to hold the second object and refer to it in the view. See example bellow.
In your controller do this:
Obj2 personalDets = new Obj2();
DbContext ctx = new DbContext();
var details = ctx.GetPersonalInformation;

foreach(var item in details) {
    personalDets.Password = item.Password;
    personalDets .EmailAddress = item.EmailAddress;
}

ViewBag.PersonalInformation = personalDets;

Then in your view those properties become readily available for you

Home lava Against the current with lava flows
Against the current with lava flows
A pit chain marks a subterranean lava tunnel. Its roof collapsed partially. Credit: Image: Mars Image Explorer / asu.edu
Lava formed massive canyons on Mars
An Italian astronomer in the 19th century first described them as 'canali' – on Mars' equatorial region, a conspicuous net-like system of deep gorges known as the Noctis Labyrinthus is clearly visible. The gorge system, in turn, leads into another massive canyon, the Valles Marineris, which is 4,000 km long, 200 km wide and 7 km deep. Both of these together would span the US completely from east to west.
As these gorges, when observed from orbit, resemble terrestrial canyons formed by water, most researchers assumed that immense flows of water must have carved the Noctis Labyrinthus and the Valles Marineris into the surface of Mars. Another possibility was that tectonic activity had created the largest rift valley on a planet in our solar system.
Lava flows caused the gorges
These assumptions were far from the mark, says Giovanni Leone, a specialist in planetary volcanism in the research group of ETH professor Paul Tackley. Only lava flows would have had the force and mass required to carve these gigantic gorges into the surface of Mars. The study was recently published in the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research.
In recent years, Leone has examined intensively the structure of these canyons and their outlets into the Ares Vallis and the Chryse Planitia, a massive plain on Mars' low northern latitude. He examined thousands of high-resolution surface images taken by numerous Mars probes, including the latest from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and which are available on the image databases of the US Geological Survey.
No discernible evidence of erosion by water
His conclusion is unequivocal: "Everything that I observed on those images were structures of lava flows as we know them on Earth," he emphasises. "The typical indicators of erosion by water were not visible on any of them." Leone therefore does not completely rules out water as final formative force. Evidence of water, such as salt deposits in locations where water evaporated from the ground or signs of erosion on the alluvial fans of the landslides, are scarce but still existing. "One must therefore ask oneself seriously how Valles Marineris could have been created by water if one can not find any massive and widespread evidence of it." The Italian volcanologist similarly could find no explanation as to where the massive amounts of water that would be required to form such canyons might have originated.

Source region of lava flows identified
The explanatory model presented by Leone in his study illustrates the formation history from the source to the outlet of the gorge system. He identifies the volcanic region of Tharsis as the source region of the lava flows and from there initial lava tubes stretched to the edge of the Noctis Labyrinthus. When the pressure from an eruption subsided, some of the tube ceilings collapsed, leading to the formation of a chain of almost circular holes, the 'pit chains'.
When lava flowed again through the tubes, the ceilings collapsed entirely, forming deep V-shaped troughs. Due to the melting of ground and rim material, and through mechanical erosion, the mass of lava carved an ever-deeper and broader bed to form canyons. The destabilised rims then slipped and subsequent lava flows carried away the debris from the landslides or covered it. "The more lava that flowed, the wider the canyon became," says Leone.
Leone supported his explanatory model with height measurements from various Mars probes. The valleys of the Noctis Labyrinthus manifest the typical V-shape of 'young' lava valleys where the tube ceilings have completely collapsed. The upper rims of these valleys, however, have the same height. If tectonic forces had been at work, they would not be on the same level, he says. The notion of water as the formative force, in turn, is undermined by the fact that it would have taken tens of millions of cubic kilometres of water to carve such deep gorges and canyons. Practically all the atmospheric water of all the ages of Mars should have been concentrated only on Labyrinthus Noctis. Moreover, the atmosphere on Mars is too thin and the temperatures too cold. Water that came to the surface wouldn't stay liquid, he notes: "How could a river of sufficient force and size even form?"

Life less likely
Leone's study could have far-reaching consequences. "If we suppose that lava formed the Noctis Labyrinthus and the Valles Marineris, then there has always been much less water on Mars than the research community has believed to date," he says. Mars received very little rain in the past and it would not have been sufficient to erode such deep and large gorges. He adds that the shallow ocean north of the equator was probably much smaller than imagined – or hoped for; it would have existed only around the North Pole. The likelihood that life existed, or indeed still exists, on Mars is accordingly much lower.
Leone can imagine that the lava tubes still in existence are possible habitats for living organisms, as they would offer protection from the powerful UV rays that pummel the Martian surface. He therefore proposes a Mars mission to explore the lava tubes. He considers it feasible to send a rover through a hole in the ceiling of a tube and search for evidence of life. "Suitable locations could be determined using my data," he says.
Swimming against the current
With his study, the Italian is swimming against the current and perhaps dismantling a dogma in the process. Most studies of the past 20 years have been concerned with the question of water on Mars and how it could have formed the canyons. Back in 1977, a researcher first posited the idea that the Valles Marineris may have been formed by lava, but the idea failed to gain traction. Leone says this was due to the tunnel vision that the red planet engenders and the prevailing mainstream research. The same story has been told for decades, with research targeted to that end, without achieving a breakthrough. Leone believes that in any case science would only benefit in considering other approaches. "I expect a spirited debate," he says. "But my evidence is strong."

Warm Milk may make you sleepy...maybe!
We all believe that warm milk promotes sleepiness because of the tryptophan contained in the milk. Tryptophan, the sleep-inducing amino acid, is found in our Thanksgiving turkey and in milk, and thought to have a sedative effect. However, if you're going to rely on a glass of warm milk to act as a sleep-aid, it is best to pair it with some type of carb, e.g., crackers, bread, etc. The high-carb snack will cause your insulin level to go up, which in turn, will act as a catalyst for the tryptophan to cross the "blood-brain barrier."
If you swear by warm milk as a sleep aid, studies reveal that warm milk does have a calming influence. The milk, without the carbs, however, is more likely just a placebo effect.

'Non-scalable' fence will be erected at Uvalde schools
Michelle Del Rey
Siblings of one of the children killed in Uvalde leave flowers outside Robb Elementary School. In wake of the mass shooting in May, the Uvalde school district is placing a "non-scalable" fence around elementary and junior high schools.
Wally Skalij, MBR / TNS
Among the new security measures for the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District is an 8-foot "non-scalable perimeter fence" at all elementary and middle schools, according to the school district.
Students return to school Sept. 6, but only Dalton Elementary will have the new fence. More fences have been ordered for the rest of the schools, the district said.
Designmaster, a company that specializes in these particular fences, is donating the fence, which is described as nearly impossible to climb.

Similar barriers were built at the U.S. Capitol in response to the Jan. 6 riots and were propped up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court after Politico released a draft opinion suggesting that the court's judges were considering overturning Roe v. Wade.
Additional security cameras and upgraded doors and door locks will also be added. The district is providing more training to staff, including annual rapid response training, training on updated policies and procedures, and an opportunity to train for the district police force.
An ongoing safety audit is being conducted by the Texas School Safety Center. The district will also review and revise standing policies and procedures.
The district states that it's also looking to upgrade communication systems, including police radios and cellular connectivity.
Robb Elementary in Uvalde was the site of a mass shooting in May that killed 19 students and two teachers.


Building an addition behind the house can hide it from view.
4 What Goes Into Constructing an Addition to Your Home?
Building a home addition can be a good alternative to buying a new home or building a house from scratch. Besides saving money, it can be a means of investing in your home and customizing your home to serve your family's specific needs and desires. But additions also bring up potential problems that may not make them the best option for everyone.
An addition can drastically change the way a house looks from the road or yard. An addition that isn't well planned can look like it doesn't belong or doesn't match the rest of the house in terms of style or overall shape. Planning an addition carefully with a skilled architect is the best way to ensure that the house looks as good, or even better, than it did before the addition. An architect should be able to produce sketches that give a sense of how the finished addition will look. To minimize the appearance of an addition, homeowners can usually choose to build onto the back of the existing house, thereby hiding the new construction from the road.
Depending on the size of an addition and the construction schedule, it may take weeks or months before an addition is completed. Bad weather can cause unanticipated delays, and working with an unreliable contractor can prolong the process even further. If a homeowner can't afford to be patient during the planning and construction process, moving into a new, larger home may be a better option.
An addition can be a good investment, helping to increase the value of a home. Using a home equity line of credit or getting a new mortgage that includes money to pay for the addition can be a wise financial decision, especially when interest rates are low. However, if the expected value of an addition--which a homeowner can estimate by studying the sale prices of nearby homes with similar characteristics--is less than its cost, it may be a poor investment.
An addition is likely to raise the value of a home. After the addition is completed, a new assessment will raise property taxes. Prior to adding on, homeowners should estimate the value of their home with the addition and compute a new annual tax liability based on current tax rates.
Building an addition is an ideal time to invest in energy-efficient fixtures and construction. Windows that prevent hot or cool air from escaping and low-energy-consuming appliances can minimize the cost of an addition by reducing energy bills and its environmental impact.

2017 Liquor Retailer of the Year: Cascadia Liquor Stores
Hospitality-industry leaders from across the province were honoured last week at the annual BC Hospitality Industry Awards Gala in Whistler. Cascadia Liquor was named BC's 2017 Liquor Retailer of the Year.
Presented by the Alliance of Beverage Licensees (ABLE BC) and the BC Hotel Association (BCHA), the BC Hospitality Industry Awards recognize the province's most exceptional hoteliers, liquor retailers, and publicans. Each of the winners were nominated for their outstanding contributions to their communities, their leadership in business, and the inspiring impact they've had on the hospitality industry.
"With all these changing liquor laws, running a great liquor store while turning a profit can be daunting. But the 2017 Liquor Retailer of the Year makes it look easy," said Al McCreary, President of ABLE BC. Cascadia Liquor is locally-owned and operates seven stores on Vancouver Island. The stores share a welcoming West Coast style, a well-chosen selection of wine, craft, beer, and spirits with an emphasis on local and craft producers, and offer weekly tastings and monthly masterclasses.
Beyond their extensive product selection, Cascadia Liquor was recognized for their continued investment in staff training, their commitment to educating customers and creating an enhanced guest experience, and for regularly giving back to the community. Last year alone, this company raised $27,000 for local charities.
"On behalf of the Alliance, we offer our sincere congratulations to Liquor Retailer of the Year, Cascadia Liquor Stores, a long-time leader in our industry and member of ABLE BC," said Jeff Guignard, Executive Director of ABLE BC.

KIPPENBERGER DRONE SHOWREEL 2011 from christopher kippenberger on Vimeo.
This is pretty cool. Great way to use some of what is availalbe now, to make some great footage. Helicopters, planes, and blimps have been used for years for sports coverage. Now with the advent of cheap planes, cheap cameras, and in some cases even live streaming, get some new views and new takes on events.
This video was produced by German firm Kippenberger, which is looking to bring affordable airborne videos to ze German car scene. Renting a helicopter for the day can cost up to $50,000 before the red tape of arranging air space permits. Drones could be flying at Cars and Coffee tomorrow.
"I am interested in the new wave of car filming similar to what Brainfarm did for snowboarding," Kippenberger tells Jalopnik. "I believe it is time to start rethinking how to bring car visuals like Intersection did for print. There are few guys out there doing it — tangentvector is one of them — they inspire me to break free for the shackles of Top Gear thinking, which is basically a tv format from yesteryear, and go for some newer ideas."


The process of applying to the The MAYDAY Fund is straightforward. The form below will require that you describe the project, including a rationale for how it will have an impact on some aspect of the pain field, and provide estimates of the timeline and the budget.
When they last reviewed the mission of the Fund, the Trustees affirmed their commitment to the principles of closing the gap between knowledge and practice and that it is better to be a rifle than a shotgun, which translates to their commitment to stay focused so as to create meaningful change.
The Trustees meet 3 times per year to review letters. When they are interested in a project, they ask for a proposal, which is then sent for peer review. We often invite proposers to meet with the Trustees to discuss the project. As MAYDAY is a family foundation, with a lay board, we often ask for clarification.
The Trustees of the MAYDAY Fund wish to be nimble enough to respond as special opportunities present themselves.
Grants are made only to public charities and educational institutions officially recognized as such by the IRS. The MAYDAY Fund concentrates its activities in the United States. On occasion, grants have been made to Canadian organizations when the project has an effect that reaches beyond Canada. Grants cannot be made to individuals. When appropriate, MAYDAY contributes an indirect costs allowance of 10 percent.
There are no deadlines. Applications for funding or proposals of other kinds are offered for consideration at the next Trustee's meeting.

away in Windsor.
The Thames is part of the fabric of life in Little Fishery House. Over the years the family has owned several boats including a 1920's Thames beaver stern launch, a traditional wooden fishing boat and an electric slipper launch. Boat trips have seen lunch at the Waterside Inn and an overnight stay at the secluded Spring Cottage on the Cliveden estate. The steps down to the Thames from the mooring provide easy access for kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing and swimming. Aside from activities on the river, its presence is ever felt and on a daily basis you can see and hear the morning scullers and rowers from the nearby rowing club, and the abundance of birdlife.
The award winning garden (BALI landscaping "Best Garden" award) is a focal point of the property and it has been extensively remodelled to create a secluded landscape, while affording uninterrupted views of the Thames. A large,
