Our mission is to create a just and inclusive transition to renewable energy by enabling everyone to own and shape our energy future.
Democracy and self-determination: Communities must democratically shape the energy sector and have long-term access to and control over energy, so that we can build wealth, health, and jobs for ourselves and future generations.
Centering frontline communities: We must build power among – and center the needs of – low-income communities, communities of color, and frontline communities that have been disproportionately harmed by our fossil fuel economy.
Our cooperative structure makes it easier to navigate securities requirements that make other community solar projects so difficult to organize.
We don't rely on shared-solar policy. By focusing on the flow of money and not the flow of electrons, we create a platform for community investment and ownership that is agnostic of state community solar policy.
People Power is centered on the creation and success of its "Project Groups". These Project Groups are initiated by individuals and organizations, and include, for example, groups of people who jointly steward a solar project or a group of people spearheading a policy advocacy campaign. Many Project Groups function much like self-governing "cooperatives" under the umbrella of the broader Cooperative, much as fiscally-sponsored projects do in the nonprofit sector.
General Owners, who provide capital and other support for projects.
Anchor Owners, community members who provide leadership and spearhead the development of projects.
Subscriber Owners, who get electrical power and other benefits or services from the cooperative.
The enormity of our task at hand – transitioning away from a fossil fuel economy, combatting wealth inequality, and building power for people of color, low-income communities, and frontline communities – requires that communities doing the groundwork of leading a just transition (i.e., Anchor Owners and Project Groups) also lead in making decisions about our collective assets and resources.
We prioritize decentralized governance because it builds people power, creates resiliency, and fosters a strong sense of ownership, activating people to build and steward our energy resources in the long-term. To offer a visual explanation of what decentralization under People Power looks like: If People Power were a galaxy, many Project Groups and other activities within People Power would be solar systems within that galaxy, and the owners involved in that project would be planets orbiting these solar systems.
Because Solar Ownership is about more than clean power… It's about community power!

Q: Change typeface on the fly spannable editText I have a button:
if (id == R.id.italic) {
}

Inside that button I have a spannable:
int startSelection = noteContent.getSelectionStart()
int endSelection = noteContent.getSelectionEnd();
Spannable spannable = noteContent.getText();

When the user clicks the italic button I want it to make the selected text in the spannable italic. When the user clicks the button on the same spannable text I want to make the selected text normal.
What if statement will grab the typeface of the spannable so that it can italic or un italic.
Another way of putting it is the italic feature google implemented on there google drive for android. I want to do that.
Example two:
 If (spannable.getTypeface.equals(TypeFace.ITALIC) {

 } else {

 }

Of course the if statement code above isnt real but thats what im trying to find out
Thanks

A: using this class you can set custom font or any fonts you want using spannable
public class CustomTypefaceSpan extends TypefaceSpan {

private final Typeface newType;

public CustomTypefaceSpan(String family, Typeface type) {
    super(family);
    newType = type;
}

@Override
public void updateDrawState(TextPaint ds) {
    applyCustomTypeFace(ds, newType);
}

@Override
public void updateMeasureState(TextPaint paint) {
    applyCustomTypeFace(paint, newType);
}

private static void applyCustomTypeFace(Paint paint, Typeface tf) {
    int oldStyle;
    Typeface old = paint.getTypeface();
    if (old == null) {
        oldStyle = 0;
    } else {
        oldStyle = old.getStyle();
    }

    int fake = oldStyle & ~tf.getStyle();
    if ((fake & Typeface.BOLD) != 0) {
        paint.setFakeBoldText(true);
    }

    if ((fake & Typeface.ITALIC) != 0) {
        paint.setTextSkewX(-0.25f);
    }

    paint.setTypeface(tf);
}

}
you can use it like this
  Spannable wordtoSpan = new SpannableString(Text.getText().toString());
            int index = public_desc.getText().toString().indexOf("any string you want");

            wordtoSpan.setSpan(new CustomTypefaceSpan("", Any type Face), index, text.getText().tostring().lenght, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
            text.setText(wordtoSpan);

EDIT to turn this into if statement you can create a boolean for checked status be default it is false and when you click on the button then invert the value of that boolean and then if checked equal true set the spannable else set another font spannable
or you can use this to get if the typeface is with bold style or italic
with this
    typefaceB.isBold() && typefaceA.isItalic()

     If (spannable.getTypeface.isItalic()) {

 } else {

 }

Q: xmlSchema apache in java I'm using the library in java XMLSchema of Apache.
I create a new object XmlSchemaElement  and set the attributes minOccurs, maxOccurs and nillable in this way:
XmlSchemaElement elem = new XmlSchemaElement();
elem.setName("element1");
elem.setNillable(false);
elem.setMinOccurs(1);
elem.setMaxOccurs(1);

I get this xsd:
<xs:element name="element1">
  ........
</xs:element>

I do not get the attributes minOccurs, maxOccurs and nillable.
how can I fix the problem?
I should get the item xsd like this:
<xs:element name="element1" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" nillable="false">
  ...
</xs:element>

thank you very much.

A: minOccurs and maxOccurs can only be used when an element declaration is nested in a group, such as an <xs:sequence>. If you are creating top-level <xs:element> elements, it's illegal to have those attributes.
Try adding that element as a child to a group (sequence, choice, all, etc.)

A: The Default Value of
minOccurs - 1
maxOccurs - 1
nillable -false
That's the reason it might not be appeared.

To assist Nursing students, JJC and ISU join hands
2 months ago By Adyson Sipes
Good news for nursing students as Joliet Junior College and Illinois State University have agreed for a dual degree program. The agreement will help clear the way for nursing students to go from an associate degree to a bachelor's degree.
JJC President Dr. Judy Mitchell said, "It is our collective duty to provide high quality education and streamline access to that education." He says that there must be a collective effort to eradicate the nursing shortage across the country. ISU President Dr. Larry Dietz thanked the attendants of the agreement signing.
Dietz said, "What you do is huge, and what you're going to do is even greater. So congratulations to all those who are entering a very noble profession to make a difference in the lives of so many." As the agreement is signed, students can simultaneously enroll at both JJC and ISU for completing their bachelor of nursing (BSN) at a faster pace. There will also be a transition from their associate degree in nursing (ADN) to an online BSN program.
Dr. Randy Fletcher, JJC vice president for academic affairs said, "Our students are keenly aware of these pathways in education beyond the associate degree. Many look for opportunities to quicken the route to their educational goal attainment through programs such as dual enrollment." He also said that the JJC students can boost the economy as they will be able to enter the BSN level at such a faster pace.
Dean of ISU's Mennonite College of Nursing, Dr. Judy Neubrander is also delighted at this joining of hands. Neubrander said, "This dual enrollment partnership brings together two great nursing programs to provide our students an expedient, valuable, affordable route to a baccalaureate degree."

Who is Aisling Franciosi?
Aisling was born in Dublin, Ireland, on 6 June 1993 – her zodiac sign's Gemini, and she holds Irish nationality. She's an actress with more than 20 credits to her name, perhaps known best for her portrayal of the lead character Claire in the 2018 adventure thriller movie "The Nightingale", written and directed by Jennifer Kent, and which also starred Maya Christie and Baykali Ganambarr. Set in 1825, the film follows young Irish convict Clare as she's chasing a British officer who has caused her family great harm; it won 25 of the 62 awards for which it was nominated.
Aisling was raised in Dublin alongside her younger sister and two older brothers, by their Italian father who's a surgeon, and their Irish mother who's a former teacher; not a lot else is known about Aisling's family, as she respects their privacy.
She grew up being interested in learning languages, and is today fluent in English, Irish Gaelic and Italian. Aisling studied at a local high school and was 15 when she became interested in acting, and began appearing in school plays; she was into a couple of other activities during her teenage years, including dancing, singing, and playing soccer.
Upon matriculating in 2011, Aisling enrolled at Trinity College Dublin, from which she graduated with a Bachelor's degree in 2015.
Aisling made her debut TV series appearance in a 2012 episode of the comedy "Trivia", then in 2014, she played Phoebe Griffin in three episodes of the crime thriller mini-series "Quirke".

The series follows deep-cover operative Martin Odum who's begun to question his past now that a mysterious stranger has told him that he might not be who he thinks he is.
Between 2013 and 2016, Aisling played Katie Benedetto in 16 episodes of the critically acclaimed crime thriller drama "The Fall", created by Allan Cubitt, and which starred Gillian Anderson, Jamie Dornan and John Lynch.

Weiss, starred Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage and Kit Harington, and follows nine noble families all of whom want to rule over Westeros and sit on The Iron Throne; the series aired from 2011 to 2019 and won 446 awards, including 59 Primetime Emmys, while it was nominated for 632 other awards.
Three of Aisling's most recent TV series roles have been in six episodes of the 2018 biographical historical drama "Genius", two episodes of the 2020 drama "I Know This Much Is True" and all three episodes of the 2020 drama mini-series "Black Narcissus" (lead role).

Set during the Depression, the film follows Jimmy Gralton who's returned home to Ireland after having been exiled for 10 years, and it won two of the five awards for which it was nominated.
Three of Aisling's following roles were in the 2014 short historical mystery "Ambition", the 2016 short horror "The Sticks", and the 2020 drama "Home".
She played Katherine Malcolm in the 2021 crime drama "The Unforgivable", directed by Nora Fingscheidt, and which starred Sandra Bullock, Viola Davis and Vincent D'Onofrio. It follows a woman who's just been released from prison, and is struggling to live with people who refuse to forgive her for her past crimes; the movie won four of the nine awards for which it was nominated.
Aisling's most recent film role has been her portrayal of Sarah Murphy in the 2022 drama "God's Creatures", while she's currently shooting for three upcoming movies: "Last Voyage of the Demeter", "Stopmotion" and "Rothko".
Aisling sang the song "If You Were Mine" in the 2013 episode "My Adventurous Song" of the series "The Fall", and six songs in the 2018 movie "The Nightingale".
She could've been seen featured in the 2019 TV special "9th AACTA Awards", and the 2021 short documentary movie "She Will Not Be Silenced: An Interview with Aisling Franciosi".
'The Nightingale' – Sam Claflin and Aisling Franciosi
Lost voice, slapped in the face, pushed to the ground – 'The Nightingale' really took its toll on Sam Claflin and Aisling Franciosi…
Posted by NME on Friday, November 29, 2019
Aisling's won nine of the 18 awards for which she's been nominated. Some of her wins include a 2019 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Award for Best Lead Actress, a 2020 Alliance of Women Film Journalists Special Mention Award for Bravest Performance, and a 2020 Australian Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress, all for her performance in "The Nightingale".
Love life and relationships
Aisling prefers to keep the details of her love life to herself, and hasn't spoken of any men or women whom she's perhaps been with. This is mostly why there are today various rumors circulating the internet, concerning both her current relationship status and sexual orientation.
Some of her fans believe her to be lesbian, claiming this to be the reason why the popular actress hasn't spoken of the men whom she's perhaps dated; a fan has even claimed to have seen Aisling spending time with her girlfriend at a pub in Dublin, Ireland but no evidence has been provided to support these claims, nor has Aisling addressed these rumors.
There are also those who believe that she's today in a long-term relationship with a non-celebrity Irish man, and that she prefers to keep him away from media; this hasn't been confirmed either.
As of August 2022, Aisling seems to be unattached, hasn't married and doesn't have children.
Aisling's quite active on Instagram, and seems to be enjoying the attention which she's receiving from her more than 50,000 followers; she's uploaded close to 250 pictures onto the network, the majority of which feature her during her everyday life.
Summer is her favorite season, as she likes to swim in the sea, sun tan at the beach and play beach sports.
Aisling's physically quite active, while this is believed to be mostly because her acting career requires her to stay in shape; she has multiple training sessions at the gym every week, thus her slim figure.
She's both a fashionista and a shopaholic, as she's trying to keep up with all of the latest fashion trends and goes searching for clothes nearly every day.
Aisling has her own favorite actors and actresses, some of whom are Eddie Redmayne, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter, while a couple of her favorite movies are "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "Les Miserables" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".
Aisling's age is 29. She has long brown hair and brown eyes, her height is 5ft 4ins (1.63m) and she weighs around 120lbs (55kgs).
As of August 2022, Aisling's net worth's been estimated at over $1.5 million.

Robert Burns Humanitarian Award - have you nominated?
On St Andrews Day, South Ayrshire Council is reminding people there are just two weeks left to nominate someone for a Robert Burns Humanitarian Award (RBHA).
Do you know someone who goes out of their way to improve the lives of others? Is there a person who's inspired you through their commitment to a cause or their willingness to put the needs of others before their own?
Now is the time to give them the recognition they deserve by nominating them for a RBHA.
This international award was created in honour of arguably the greatest Scot ever, Robert Burns.
The award, supported by South Ayrshire Council and Scotland's Winter Festivals as part of the Burns an' a' that! Festival celebrations, is for anyone regardless of nationality, race, age or gender who has gone above and beyond to help others.
As well as becoming a prestigious RBHA winner, the person picking up the award will collect the equivalent of 1759 guineas (approximately £1,800) which signifies the year of the Bard's birth and the coinage in circulation at the time.
Last year's winner was Anna Ferrer. Anna was born in Essex and has worked in India since the mid-1960s. She was recognised for her decades of dedication and devotion to women's rights and tackling poverty in her adopted homeland.
If you know someone like Anna, now is the time to nominate them by visiting www.robertburnsaward.com The deadline for nominations is Friday 14 December at 4:00pm.
The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony in January 2019 which is a special year as it coincides with the 260th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns in Alloway.
Douglas Campbell, Chair of the RBHA judging panel, said, "This is the sixteenth year of this prestigious award and during that time we have met so many inspirational people from all over the world.
"It's a common theme that the people nominated are doing extraordinary things to help others on a daily basis, but they don't see themselves as anything special and this is very humbling. The Robert Burns Humanitarian Award is a celebration of those often unsung heroes and is a chance for us all to put them first for a change.
"The spirit of Robert Burns is very much alive through this award, he fought social injustice and believed that everyone should be treated the same.
"Past winners have come from all walks of life, but the thing they have in common is their commitment to standing up for what they believe in and doing whatever it takes to make a difference.
"You don't have to know the person you nominate personally but if they have inspired you through their work, please visit the website and get nominating."


Both as a neurobiologist and human, I love REM sleep.
REM sleep is a special stage of sleep. When we are asleep, our bodies and brains cycle through different kinds of sleep every couple hours. At the beginning, the cycles contain more deep sleep and slow wave sleep, both of which help reset the body and mind. Healing happens best in deep sleep, and both get the brain to calm down, clear itself, and make room for new memories and experiences the next day. These stages can be very refreshing, especially after a hard day's work, but they're not what I'd call fun.
In REM, the many different brain bits rehearse whatever they thought was the most salient part of the day, and nothing says all the bits have to agree. For example, when I enter REM, one part might focus on a moment I stumbled, another part might go over an experiment I need to plan, and yet another could be thinking about the tasty lunch place I found. I won't be aware of what each region is doing, but the part of my brain that stitches together all my senses during my waking hours is still trying to make a coherent reality. And the awareness that arises from that mishmash has given rise to religions and prophecies, and less grandly for myself, nightly entertainment. This is the non-reality in dreams; mine are vivid.
The dreams of a neurobiologist. Much like anybody else's.
I know, as a sleep scientist, that everybody experiences sleep differently. I do not know how universal my experience is, but I share it here in the hopes that it might inspire those who are not yet REM enthusiasts. I experience all of my senses, and get a robust emotional ride. I have experienced terror and exuberance and even fallen in love in my dreams. When I was little, I used to have nightmares of being chased, and would wake up afraid to go back to sleep. It took me into my teen years to wake up one night, angry at being chased more than scared. I remember thinking "this is my dream. I get to win." I went back to sleep, beat up the monster chasing me, and have felt more aware of my dreams since. I wonder how that works, and how common that is.
That is why I track my sleep. I'm my own guinea pig for many projects, only because getting good sleep data is too expensive and too invasive at present for me to do it at a large scale. My colleagues and I use a mixture of sensors, hormone assessments, and careful logging to build models of sleep that allow us – more and more with each experiment – to predict biological changes from sleep stages gathered by wearable devices.
The current state of sleep tracking.
Right now, most sleep trackers seem a little gimmicky, and that's because they are. But it's not their fault. The spring bloom of sleep trackers and wearable devices we are currently seeing is our society realizing that sleep is an important part of health, and trying to find a way to start learning about what sleep actually looks like. Since no one knows what the right approach for getting those data will be, there are a lot of experiments going on. Some are done by publicly-funded scientists like me. Some are done by companies hoping their device will be the one. And some are done by citizen scientists. But all of us together are feeling our way into sleep, and each experiment brings the subsequent ones closer to being really helpful. Sleep is in part a response of the body and brain to what is happening to it in waking life, so eventually we might be able to learn all kinds of sleep patterns with predictive medical applications.
I have used multiple sleep tracking devices over the years for my research, including more than one model of EEG – a mesh of electrodes recording electrical brain activity from my scalp. I have learned that my REM decreases in the days before I get sick, and that when I'm healthy I get about 40% of my night in REM, as compared to 10-20% for most people. Maybe that gives me room for a lot of big dreams.
I think that one day, sleep will be a vital part of how we track our health and take care of our loved ones as they grow and then age. In the meantime, learning about sleep gets me out of bed each day, and getting REM is enough fun to bring me back each night. I encourage you to try and share some of my sleep joy. Track your sleep or journal your dreams. Or share your sleep experiences with friends and learn about theirs. We all spend a lot of time sleeping. We ought to make use of it, and to enjoy it!

7 things to do at The Jewel
13th May 2019 by Expat Living 3 Min Read
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you'll know that Jewel Changi Airport recently opened. The vast transit-area-cum-shopping-mall covers a floor area of 135,700 square metres and a whopping 10 stories, and has already won a slew of international awards. The venue has been anticipated by media outlets for ages, but now that it's open, why should you actually go and visit it? Here's our list of seven great things to do at Jewel.
#1 Try some new international cuisine
F&B: the most important reason to go anywhere, right?! Jewel Changi Airport boasts a whole host of long-awaited world-famous restaurant chains that will excite every foodie. Highlights include: Shake Shack, the NYC-based chain selling their international bestselling burgers and an exclusive Singapore menu; Emack and Bolio's, the American ice-cream company famous for their marshmallow cones and over-the-top flavours; and Laderach Swiss Chocolate, who have opened their first Southeast Asia store, selling handcrafted sweets flown direct to Singapore.
#2 Sample local culinary delights
Not only does the Jewel offer food from around the world, it also features some SG favourites that will be well known to those who've been here for a while. Stars of the show include Birds of Paradise, an incredibly elegant ice-creamery which already has a popular East Coast outlet, and Twelve Cupcakes, cake vendors who have taken the country by storm. Beer lovers will also be excited to visit the Tiger Street Lab, a store offering seasonal brews of Singapore's favourite lager alongside street food favourites and themed merch.
#3 Experience the HSBC Rain Vortex
This stunning attraction has had visitors coming in flocks from the second that Jewel opened. At 40 metres high, the cascade holds the title of 'World's Highest Indoor Waterfall' and is, frankly, mesmerising. It has two modes – during the day, it complements the lush greenery surrounding it; by night, it's home to a captivating light-and-sound show.
#4 Check out the Manulife Sky Nets
Though it won't open until 10 June, this promises to be the highlight of the trip for little ones and big kids alike. Visitors can choose from two activities: one set of nets designed for trampoline-like bouncing, and another for strolling above the Canopy Park. Try to come prepared – you're recommended to wear comfortable shoes and pants or shorts, and you don't want to be caught out!
#5 Hit up all the playgrounds!
Also opening on 10 June are four playground activities that the whole family will love – if you're in the mood for a puzzle, try the Mirror Maze or the largest Hedge Maze in Singapore (but don't get lost and miss your flight!). Or, if you're looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush, the Discovery Slides have exactly what you need. Finally, if the kids just want to run around for a bit, the Foggy Bowls should keep them occupied – this area is filled with non-toxic 'clouds' that create a dreamy setting for all their adventures.
#6 Relax in some high-tech cinemas
If you're eager to catch the latest blockbuster or just want to chill for a bit, Jewel Changi Airport holds a Shaw Cinema like no other. For an extra-special cinematic experience, there's an IMAX hall with Laser – cutting-edge tech found in only a select few cinemas around the world. Concerned that the kids will make a racket? Worry no more! Shaw Theatres Jewel includes the company's first dedicated family-friendly hall, screening only family-friendly movies and fitted out with playful kid-friendly furnishings. To add to all of this, Shaw Theatres has finally launched a competitor for Golden Village's Gold Class: "Lumiere" features intimate halls with roomy seats for a luxurious movie-going experience.
#7 Go shopping!
Just in case the hundreds of shops in Changi's four terminals aren't enough for you, Jewel holds some of the most impressive flagship stores in the country. While the kids are playing, take the time to visit outlets such as the 1,000 square-metre Nike store, the double-storey Muji outlet and the largest store yet of local brand In Good Company. Plus, if you're in the mood to geek out, the first permanent Pokemon Centre outside of Japan sells a wide range of exclusive Pokemon merchandise.

Q: Compute outliers using Zscore I want to save the outliers using the zcore method in my dataframe df1. Is what im doing correct?
Code
df1= df[~(np.abs(df.col1-df.col1.mean()) <= (3*df.col1.std()))]

A: You could also use pandas.eval and pandas.assign for better readability:
import pandas as pd

df['outlier'] = df.assign(z_score = lambda x: (x.col1 - x.col1.mean())/x.col1.std()
              ).eval('z_score > 3')

Outliers are datapoints with z-score higher than threshold so if you want outlier column to say True for outlier use > instead of <=.

Will Cindy Hyde-Smith or the RNC Reimburse Taxpayers for the Air Force One Trip to Pennsylvania & Mississippi? And Roger Wicker? And Gregg Harper?
Air Force One, BGR Group. Gregg Harper, campaign finance, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Electrical contractors, Mississippi Senate, Mississippi Senate Race, NECA, Pennsylvania, RNC, Roger Wicker, Southaven Mississippi, Taxpayer, US Senate, Wicker
How do you go from DC to Philadelphia Pennsylvania en route to a campaign rally in Southaven Mississippi, just south of Memphis? Philadelphia is not en route to Mississippi, as can be seen clearly with the red dots added to the map.
It's unclear what business Trump had in Pennsylvania – it appears campaign related, since the organization he spoke to endorsed a Trump candidate. But, it is even more unclear what business a Mississippi Congressman and two Mississippi Senators have on a trip to Pennsylvania with Trump, before going to Mississippi. Gregg Harper's not up for election, so what he was doing tagging along at all remains a mystery. Was his legislative assistant, Bubba White (really his name), who interned with Russian-linked BGR group, tagging along too? Roger Wicker, who is up for reelection, came along for the ride, as well. The Southaven Mississippi Rally was supposed to be in support of the Senate Campaign of Cindy Hyde-Smith.
They are all supposed to reimburse the US taxpayer for use of Air Force One, though the required reimbursement apparently doesn't cover the cost. The RNC or Hyde-Smith campaign should reimburse the taxpayer. But, will they? People need to call them out.
11 CFR Parts 100, 113, 9004, 9034
[Notice 2009–27]
Campaign Travel
AGENCY: Federal Election Commission.
ACTION: Final rules.
SUMMARY: The Federal Election Commission is promulgating new and revised rules implementing the provision of the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act governing non- commercial campaign travel on aircraft. These changes restrict, and in some situations prohibit, Federal candidates and certain political committees from expending campaign funds for non- commercial air travel. The rules apply to all Federal candidates, including publicly funded presidential candidates, and other individuals traveling on behalf of candidates, political party committees, and other political committees, where the travel is in connection with Federal elections….
The Commission is implementing this provision of HLOGA by adding new § 113.5 to 11 CFR Part 113, which governs the expenditure of campaign funds by candidates for Federal office and their authorized political committees. In addition, the Commission is promulgating revisions to 11 CFR 100.93, which establishes an exception to the definition of ''contribution" for non-commercial travel aboard aircraft by, or on behalf of, Federal candidates and political committees, if the candidates and political committees reimburse the service providers at specified rates. The revisions to 11 CFR 100.93 apply to campaign travel by, or on behalf of, candidates for Federal office or leadership PACs of House candidates. As discussed below, the rules leave in place the required reimbursement rate structure imposed under the Commission's 2003 rules for travel by persons on behalf of other political committees, such as the staff of a political party committee, a nonconnected political committee, or a leadership PAC of a Senate or Presidential candidate…."

August 1, Saturday
At 10:30 a.m., Boy and Sister, Barbara and Shirley and I went to the Archeological Museum of Athens. All the young people had elected to sleep late that morning. This museum, having national representation, has works from all periods and localities. I found archaic and early works the most moving – I realized that the containment of a vital energy was a most appealing aspect of their assertion and presence. In contrast, the grace and "perfection" of the later works seem to me less vibrant, less full of life. Their ideal of a perfected form rivaling nature (ever closer to her) and their infinite and conclusive grace reduced the aspect of duality, that drama of enactment of transformation, which I am so moved by in the earlier works. The representation of Minoan art was modest in comparison to the museum in Crete. The Cycladic works included a number of pieces I have so often seen reproduced: "prototypes." The collection is exhausting and I was ready to leave by noon.
I squeezed in a dentist appointment (I had broken a tooth) while all the rest of us lunched at Floca. At around 3:00 p.m. Jerry Russell and John and I went to the Acropolis Museum which although much smaller is equally memorable to the national museum. Here the beautiful Kouroi abound with their marvelous smiles, their delicate draperies and their sensual appeal and animation. Here too there is a containment and resolve of vibrant life. After the Acropolis Museum, I returned with John and Jerry to the national. It was good to see all the works again and to have the opportunity to concentrate on those works, which were the most impressive to me. I took a number of photos but was disappointed that the many fragmentary works from Epidaurus were not to be photographed. Fatigued and brimful of sensations, responses [and] images, we returned to the Grand Bretagne, had cool drinks, and discussed our reactions. That evening the Russells dined with friends and we (Barbara, Adam, John, Shirley) dined at Floca. The food was excellent. We returned to the hotel and retired after having had a drink with the Russell group who had also returned.
August 2, Sunday
Shirley, Barbara, Adam and I left the hotel at 8:00 a.m. for a day trip to Delphi. John had decided not to join us as he and Jerry had decided to go swimming at a beach near Athens.
Dimitrious, our driver, was in every sense a professional: he knew about the places we passed; he drove the car swiftly and expertly in various kinds of traffic and on different kinds of roads. He would make suggestions on where to start an excursion by foot and where to be picked up, which never reduced what one saw but always made the walking the least fatiguing. The countryside was varied and it changed from verdant plain (often covered with either grape or tobacco) to hard mountain vistas. At the base of these mountains were assorted trees and plants, leafy and all ranging in an endless array of rich greens. Higher up the rich dark pines dotted the rocky slopes. At the peaks, the land became spare, sharp and of a sparkling austerity.

Delphi is a superb site. It is complex and has a quality of unfolding itself as if in a procession one came one by one to these surprising discoveries each unique and yet the overall of a tremendous unity. Thanks to Demitrious, we walked down as the sequence unfolded itself. Although I realized that we were seeing all this in the reverse order of its original plan, I could see by the faces of the panting tour groups ascending that their hopes of experiencing Delphi as the ancients might were certainly out of the question. In all these sites, there is an uncanny feeling for location. Whether it is within a protected glen or perched high upon a promontory the edifice is invariably of momentous relationship with its environment.
The museum at Delphi is splendid. A number of incomparable "masterworks" are there. There is no way that I feel I can put down here the sense of that experience although I know it will stay with me.

Asia Forum 2005 - Managing the Dynamics of Growth
Friday 09 September 2005 8:00am to 5:30pm
LSE's Asia Forum events were held between 2004-2014 and were an important and very public part of the School's strategy to enhance its long standing relationship with the rapidly developing Asian region. LSE has historically attracted many very talented students and staff from all major Asian countries. The School has a large and distinguished group of alumni in the region and has been active in building partnerships with business and governments for many years.
The LSE Asia Forum bought together LSE's key partners in the region. The Forum provided an opportunity for analysis of different perspectives on the economic, social, political and cultural contributions Asia is making to global development.
The second LSE Asia Forum took place in Hong Kong with the theme 'Managing the Dynamics of Growth'.
Asia is experiencing a sustained economic and political renaissance. The dramatic economic growth curve experienced in particular by India and China but also by other Asian economies is currently attracting much attention. More importantly, these evolving economies are generating considerable public policy and governance challenges.
While Europe and the US underwent a similar development phase in the last century, Asia's growth is occurring within a more integrated global economy and thus has significant implications for the world at large. While economic growth appears to be strong, stable and continuing, it creates new dynamics and challenges in the areas of wealth distribution, legal systems, labour markets, education and trade.
Key challenges currently facing the two major economies of China and India are the need to create robust frameworks for the governance of financial markets and the corporate sector, to develop sufficient public and private welfare and social security provision, to strengthen public policy and management capacity, and to co-shape multilateral trade architecture.
The nature and stability of development in Asia will be a key influence on the nature of globalisation in the next 30-50 years and will indeed be actively determined by the development choices made by leading Asian economies. The 2nd LSE Asia Forum will investigate these challenges and choices and will promote knowledge-exchange between key Asian, European and US leaders and experts. In particular, it will engage Asian government and business leaders and seek their perspectives on managing the dynamics of growth in the region in dialogue with leading international experts.

If you are reading this article, you are obviously interested in the game of soccer. If you wish to learn more about the game or improve your skills, then this article is for you. Although soccer can be a lot of fun, it takes a lot of discipline and hard work in order to be good at it. Soccer is for everyone and this article will show you excellent tips to help you enjoy the game even more.
TIP! The type of cleats you buy greatly depends on the level of soccer playing ability you have. New players ought to get plastic or synthetic cleats.
The cleats you should choose will depend on your skill level. Pick up something with plastic and synthetic materials if you are just starting out. Shoes with metal cleats that screw in are the best for advanced players.
Scan the field for an open player if you find yourself boxed in. This will give the player several seconds before defenders move towards them.
TIP! Never assume the play is over after you have passed the ball to a team member. Try to position yourself where you can help the player with the ball.
To keep the other team guessing, cross the ball in exactly the same pattern for a few plays. The other team will think you are going to repeat it over and over again. You can surprise the team and go the other direction.
In order to improve your soccer skills, practice and perseverance are key. Being a good player doesn't happen instantly. Really look for time every day to practice. Practice every skill, no matter how hard it is. Also practice the skills you are good at, as any skill could use improvement.
TIP! When a defender is rapidly approaching, pass the ball away. Try to keep the soccer ball as long as possible, then pass it off.
To help increase your stamina when playing soccer, train during your off season by doing long distance runs. A lot of soccer players are running about 8 miles during each game. By running every day, you train the body in terms of stamina and endurance as well as speed.
If you're down midfield then you need to look to what's going on in both sides of the field. If the ball comes at you from the goal, you need to be ready for it. You must always know where defenders and your open players are.
To become better at dribbling a soccer ball, try practicing with a tennis ball. Practicing with this little ball helps you get used to making constant adjustments with your feet to keep it in control. As your foot work gets better, dribbling a soccer ball gets much easier.
TIP! Make sure that you have strategies in place for your game. They should know when you are going to cross the ball so they can rush to the right spot to catch it.
Try to stay in overall good condition in order to play your best soccer. Gaining a lot of weight can make the game harder for you. Watch the types of foods you're eating as well as the amounts you're consuming.
You should always have on the right kind of shoes if you're playing soccer. Football cleats and tennis shoes are never acceptable. By wearing the wrong shoes, you may hurt yourself or others.
TIP! Practicing penalty kicks will help increase your chances of scoring during this time. That helps your brain focus.
For a successful game, you need to communicate with your teammates. This is a great weapon in soccer. When an open spot is located, communicate that spot to the person that has the ball. It is important that everyone on the team understands what different plays are when called out on the field. "Through" would let them know you're planning to pass through two defenders to get the ball.
Pick out a good shoe to play soccer according to what the field's like. A good example would be the type of shoe adequate for playing on a grass field. In this case, cleats should be worn for good traction. When playing soccer outdoors, you typically want cleats that are firm and permanent. Cleats are available in a number of patterns that allow your feet to firmly grip the ground.
TIP! When playing soccer, use every surface of your foot. When you're doing dribbles fast, you probably are going to be using the instep and front of the foot you lead with.
You need to invest in quality shoes so you can have a firm grip even while playing on a muddy field. Soccer pros like softer, removable cleats when playing in these conditions. Wear wide cleats during times when the field is wet. Two cleats should be at the heel, and four are located at the mid-sole.
Use this advice to better your soccer game. Keep in mind that there plenty of new things that you can add to your knowledge of the game. As you keep practicing, you are going to find out that it really does help and will push you to greatness.

An Interview with Fran Dorricott, author of The Final Child
Never Saw You Coming by Erin Hahn
Malika: Warrior Queen Volume 1 by Roye Okupe, Chima Kalu & Raphael Kazeem
By Doreen Sheridan in Africa, Doreen, Fantasy, Graphic Novels
What a fantastic way to kick off the YouNeek YouNiverse, an interrelated set of fantasy, sci-fi and superhero comics and properties from an African perspective! The first volume of Malika: Warrior Queen tells the story of a 15th century ruler, who she was and how she was shaped by the battles that rent and threatened to ultimately destroy her kingdom of Azzaz.
Malika grew up the younger daughter of the royal family, in the shadow of her beloved older sister Nadia. Tho a prodigy, she only became heir the same day that Nadia took a terrible fall and disappeared. With the death of her mother several years later, Malika ascended to the throne, ruling over a scant few years of peace and prosperity before dissension reared its ugly head once more. Now Malika has to preserve the kingdom she fought so hard to unite, not only from internal strife but from the looming threat of General Cheng and his mighty Ming army.
The plot twists nicely (if not necessarily surprisingly to this jaded thriller reader) as Malika has to navigate both military action and political intrigue in her quest to restore peace and affirm a united Azzaz. The rousing speeches are a highlight of the dialog, as Malika must contend with what makes for a fit ruler; kudos to Roye Okupe for some really thoughtful, evocative writing. The supernatural element is also very cool, leaning heavily on a mash-up of African and Chinese mythology. I really enjoyed the ending as well, and how it sets up for the rest of the extended universe. Bonus: this book definitely passes the Bechdel test!
But my favorite part of the book was likely the art, which was pretty darn terrific. Raphael Kazeen's colors do a wonderful job of breathing life into Chima Kalu's evocative, expressive illustrations. It's rare to find someone as good at depicting facial expressions as they are at close combat, mass military maneuvers and supernatural effects, but Mr Kalu fully delivers on everything the script calls for.
This first volume of Malika: Warrior Queen, much like its heroine, is the total package, smart, entertaining and just gorgeous to look at. We're really lucky to be able to provide coverage of not only this graphic novel, but also the other two flagship books of the YouNeek YouNiverse brought to American audiences by Dark Horse Comics in conjunction with YouNeek Studios. Stay tuned for those reviews in the weeks to come!
Malika: Warrior Queen Volume 1 by Roye Okupe, Chima Kalu & Raphael Kazeem was published September 7 2021 by Dark Horse Books and is available from all good booksellers, including
Africa, Chima Kalu, Doreen, Fantasy, Graphic Novels, Raphael Kazeem, Roye Okupe

This is Andrew, Katie's husband. It is with deep sadness that I share that Katie succumbed to her cancer on Saturday, August 20, 2016 at 10:24am. She was surrounded by her family, with her right till the end, and said how at peace with dying she was. She wrote this, to be posted after she died.
"If you are reading this it means that my body has ceased to be of use to me anymore and I have decided it's time to move on. These are the words, the ideas and the thoughts that I would like to leave with you on this occasion.
Please give yourself permission to feel everything you need to feel right now and pretty much always. Cry, scream, dance, whatever strikes you. I mean, I was pretty awesome so I really don't blame you for being pretty dang sad. But just know that there is no one way, no right way, no better way to "do" grief. However you feel the need to grieve today and in the weeks, months, and years ahead, is good and right.
As you grieve please know that I both loved the hell out of my life and also felt at peace with my passing. Life, like so many things, is much better measured in quality and not quantity and from those standards I lived just about all the life there was to live. I experienced so many wonderful things on this beautiful planet, I had such deep and meaningful love in my life and I got to go on quite an adventure of self-discovery. I truly regret nothing and am grateful for everything. I wouldn't trade my life in, cancer and all, for anything. It's been a great privilege to have lived this spectacular life.
I have a few favors to ask of you: First, please take good care of my husband. It was supposed to be my job but now I must hand it off to you and the universe. He is incredibly capable but please do give him all the space he needs for as long as he lives to grieve in the way he needs and to find a way to live with me in his life in this new way. He has been the best partner, husband, and best friend that I could have asked for. I will never stop loving him and will never stop being in his life. I ask that anyone who loved me, now share your love with him.
Second, please do the same for my parents, my brother and sister-in-law and my closest friends: Meredith and Jacob, the Baeckeroots and everyone else who has been near and dear to me in this life. I have been so lucky to have been raised with such love. I have such wonderful memories of my childhood and I couldn't have asked for more loving parents or a more devoted little brother. I also could not have asked for better friends. They too will find a way to create a new life with this new relationship I will continue to have with them. Please be patient and kind and loving along the way.
That was as far as she got. While I'm sure she intended to finish her post, I would suggest that for each person reading, based on your relationship with Katie, fill in the blank for yourself. Katie was so deeply full of love for all of her friends, family, and colleagues, that I know she would want to deliver an honest, loving, and heartfelt individual message to each one of you. We will miss her deeply, and love her forever, and are so thankful for the time we had with her. As she said, it was about quality, not quantity. We'll have more to share in time.

U.S. to announce on Wednesday charges in computer intrusion campaigns related to China
FILE PHOTO: A man holds a laptop computer as cyber code is projected on him in this illustration picture taken on May 13, 2017. REUTERS/Kacper Pempel/Illustration
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department is poised to announce "charges and arrests related to a computer intrusion campaign tied to the Chinese government," the department said in a statement on Tuesday.
Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich and other officials will take part in a news conference at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) on Wednesday to make the announcement, the statement said.
No other details were given.
White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien said last month that Chinese government-linked hackers have been targeting U.S. election infrastructure ahead of the Nov. 3 presidential election.
China has consistently denied U.S. government claims that it hacks U.S. companies, politicians or government agencies.
