The U.S. military is officially fighting wars in seven countries, according to the White House's latest war report. Known formally as the "Report on the Legal and Policy Frameworks Guiding the United States' Military Force and Related National Security Operations," the unclassified portion flags ops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Niger — all under the banner of the same war authority granted in the 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military Force to fight al-Qaeda-linked militants.
Groups the U.S. military is fighting: AQ, ISIS, the Houthis in Yemen, the Taliban, the Haqqani network, the Assad regime (with the April 2017 cruise missile strikes), al-Shabab, and "elements [in Niger] assessed to be part of ISIS." The report's classified annex goes into the groups in more detail.
The largest section is reserved for Syria, not that that makes it any easier to say which of these conflicts might wrap up first, as they still encompass the "arc of instability" referenced by Obama-era officials — and even President George W. Bush almost exactly 12 years ago.
Also in the report: confirmation "that the U.S. is sharing intel with the Saudis in their Yemen bombing campaign, though U.S. military officials continue to deny that they're doing so," Breaking Defense's Paul McCleary noted Wednesday on Twitter. Read the full report, here.
One more thing about Yemen: Defense Secretary Mattis is a big fan of the U.S. military's Saudi support for its war in Yemen. So much so that he's pleading with Congress (PDF) ahead of a Senate vote on whether to end U.S. assistance for a meandering conflict now its 1,087th consecutive day. The Washington Post has the rest of that story, here.
Pentagon Tells Leaders to Talk More With Contractors — and Less to the Public and Press // Marcus Weisgerber: One day after Air Force leaders severely restricted media contacts, Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan encouraged Pentagon officials to engage more with industry.
The Military Race for Space Will Turn on the Ability to Choose Commercial Services // Patrick Tucker: Like a befuddled consumer facing an entire aisle of jams and jellies, the Pentagon can't figure out how to buy smart in the exploding market of commercial satellite services.
Team of Sycophants // Eliot A. Cohen: Tillerson's dismissal leaves the White House more than ever the conniving and dishonest court of an erratic, ill-informed, and willful monarch.
Why Did Trump Fire Tillerson Now? // David Frum: The specific timing of the move—following the secretary of state's split from the president to condemn a Russian attack in the U.K.—raises questions about its motive.

Also in that war report: An operation in Niger you (probably) didn't know about. Almost three months after it happened, the U.S. military told the New York Times about a Green Berets assault in Niger that killed 11 alleged ISIS fighters on December 6. The U.S. element was partnered with Nigerien troops, and reportedly none of them were injured in the firefight. The battle was referenced in just a single line in the war report cited above.
But that's not the whole story: The combat "along with at least 10 other previously unreported attacks on American troops in West Africa between 2015 and 2017 — indicates that the deadly Oct. 4 ambush was not an isolated episode in a nation where the United States is building a major drone base," the Times' Adam Goldman reported Wednesday.
While the public may not have known, and AFRICOM chief Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, failed to mention it in his February testimony before Congress, "A senior House Republican aide said on Wednesday that lawmakers had been notified about the Dec. 6 attack soon after it happened." Read on, here.
ICYMI: The U.S. Army says it's expanding its footprint in Afghanistan, Stars and Stripes' Chad Garland noticed after reading this release from Big Army public affairs a week ago.
Where they take their jump: Harris's Feb. 14 testimony before the House Armed Services committee. There, Harris flagged aircraft for possible sale to India, including F-16s, the F/A-18E, 12-15 P-8Is, a SeaGuardian UAS, an MH-60R multi-role sea-based helicopter, and the F-35.
Next steps: "The two countries have planned a 2+2 meeting of foreign ministers and defence ministers next month." Read on, here.
NATO tells Moscow to explain itself. "The Western NATO military alliance called on Russia on Wednesday to give Britain 'complete disclosure' of the Soviet-era nerve agent used in an attack on a Russian double agent on March 4, following a British briefing to allies at NATO headquarters," reports Reuters.
The U.S. Navy went to the Arctic and took CNN along for the ride. While there, Jim Sciutto talks with the commander and crew of the USS Hartford, a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered submarine, which breached the Arctic ice. The five-minute report begins here.
And finally today: Exactly seven years ago, the protests that would morph into a civil war began in Syria's capital city of Damascus. Six protesters were initially detained by Assad regime forces, which would go on to use increasingly violent means to try to put down the unrest. In the more than 2,500 days since, some 400,000 Syrians have died, and nearly 13 million have been displaced — including more than 5 million now living as refugees in countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa.

Winners of the Fairtrade Fortnight Award for Schools
We are excited to announce the winners of the Fairtrade Fortnight Award for Schools 2018!
The entries this year were fantastic and the judging panel were inspired by the incredible effort and creativity of the schools involved. A big thank you and well done to all of you!
After hours of deliberation we finally came to a consensus and we are pleased to say that the winners were:
Winning Primary School
The winning primary school was Greenfylde C or E First School in Somerset!
Greenfylde C of E First School worked with their local Rotary Club to start a new competition for local schools. Building on a national competition called 'Youth Speaks', which is for Years 5 and above, they introduced a local competition called 'Young Voices' for Years 2 to 5 to have their say on big issues. Pupils researched Fairtrade and prepared presentations based on their learning.
Following competitions within the local schools, finalists came together at Greenfylde to give presentations about Fairtrade in front of 100 people including councillors and local mayors.
What an amazing achievement from everybody involved!
Winning Secondary School
The winning secondary school was The Sir Robert Woodard Academy in West Sussex!
The sheer scale of the activities at The Sir Robert Woodard Academy impressed the judging panel! Using social media, posters, TV screens and the school's website meant that the whole school were involved and there were excellent examples of peer-to-peer learning with one of their sixth-formers running lessons for Year 8 so that they could become 'Fairtrade Geniuses' and answer questions from other pupils about Fairtrade.
A big well done to all pupils and teachers involved for their hard work – the entry was put together by a sixth-former at the school who deserves a huge round of applause for going the extra mile!
Greenfylde C of E First School and The Sir Woodard Academy each receive a cheque for £350.00 to spend on their Fairtrade activities.
It was incredibly tough choosing winners this year as we had so many great entries. A special mention to St German's Primary School in Cornwall, Kyle Academy in Ayr and Ysgol Gyfun Dyffryn Taf in Carmarthenshire.
This Award is kindly supported by The Co-op.

Colorado's Anti-Fracking Measure: What's At Stake for Future Oil & Gas Production?
On Aug. 29, 2018, the office of Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams announced that a setback measure for oil and gas development made the November ballot. The measure, if passed, would mandate that new oil and gas development, including hydraulic fracking be a minimum distance of 2,500 ft from occupied buildings and other areas designated as "vulnerable." The current minimum setback of drilling and completing oil and gas wells is 500 ft from homes and 1,000 ft from schools.
The measure comes 18 months after a home explosion that occurred last year in Firestone, Colo., that killed two men. The incident was blamed on a leaky flowline from a nearby well owned by Anadarko that hadn't been capped properly. Supporters of the initiative say there have been 13 explosions and fires since then.
Backers of Initiative 97, which include instate green groups such as Colorado Rising and Colorado Sierra Club, submitted signatures on Aug. 6, 2018. The Colorado Secretary of State confirmed that the number of required signatures met the threshold to get Initiative 97, now officially Proposition 112, on the November ballot. However, the measure is facing widespread opposition from political leaders on both sides of the aisle, as well as the oil and gas industry. Colorado governor candidates Jared Polis (D) and Walker Stapleton (R), as well as outgoing governor John Hickenlooper (D), are all on the record opposing the proposal.
Midterm Election Review: What's Next for Oil & Gas?


The 31stof August isn't anything different, it signals all three and the start of Quarter 3 of 2018. This is the month where a large amount of Crypto-Assets were supposed to release their Mainnet, but they delayed – most likely owed to poor market conditions.
Ziliqa is one of them, this says a lot about their project, they are more willing to delay their uniqueness for 6 months to take advantage of a better market climate. A nearby competitor, LISK that accomplishes near enough the same sort of strategy, decided to list their Mainnet this week. They shot up by 30% on the week.
Lisk was one of the only cryptocurrencies that was not down more than 40% over the past month. Almost all coins were that are listed on CoinMarketCap.
Even coins such as TRX, that more marketing geniuses than solving anything unique are listing their Mainnet today, with an all-day marketing special. They have seen highs of 30% this week. 6 months ago, news of a Mainnet would have seen 150% growth. This goes to show you how the Cryptocurrency scene can grow from an immaturity phase, but also signals the bear market or negative market according to Nouvive.
EOS, backed by Block One has interestingly shot up against Industry advisor's initial thoughts by 15%, the reason is owed to Market sentiment as opposed to any intrinsic change in the technology.
What does CBOE ETH Futures mean for the market?
Ethereum has dumped from $600 to $254 as a result of poor market conditions, but also owed to the mere fact that all ICO's transact in Ethereum to take payment for tokens. As the price decreased, they sold off Ether as a hedge, possibly some of them shorting it.
Other commentators have added this event was a black swan event and that them selling off was a misnomer, in fact it was just lack of volume in the market that made it appear that they were selling to get off Ether so that they can fund their projects.
Nonetheless, CBOE ETH allow institutions to now put their money where their mouth is. They now have the ability to use leverage to short such.
The Bitcoin CME/CBOE futures gave enough momentum to get Bitcoin to $19,800. What happened next was unprecedented in the cryptocurrency Market. We saw Bitcoin go from that figure to $6400 at a rate of 2 months – from Dec 19 2017 to Feb 14 2018.
The same could be stated of Ethereum, we may see it bounce to $350 on news of the ETH futures, before going to $54, where a lot of buys are for Ether.


The best domain names are the names that are able to present the meaning of the website to the visitors or the ones that have a memorable combination of words and/or characters. But, if you want a domain like this, you should know that it's almost impossible to get a free domain. If you do some research, you will realize that the most used words and combinations of words are not available especially when it comes to .com domains. Of course, you can always opt for .net, .info or .org domain extensions, but according to many experts, it's better to have a .com site.
So, instead of using free domains, it's much smarter to check whether you can use some attractive paid domain name. You will notice that there's a huge number of websites where you can register domain names and the price of their services is more than reasonable. In many cases, you can register a website for a couple of dollars. Another thing that we should mention is that not all registered domain names have a website. The majority of these domains are bought with one goal in mind – selling them for more money.
In case you are interested in a domain that is related to your product, niche or service and you can't find a domain name like this with top level domain extensions, then you should use another strategy. In situations like this, it's better to alter the combination of words or letters you have selected. For instance, you can always add generic words like info, news, site, store or shop to the domain name. This will make the domain name longer, but it will remain relevant and easy to remember. In addition, you can also pick a keyword that can contribute to your website's ranking in the search engine results too.
Those of you who don't have a specific word or combination of words in mind and are looking for memorable, short domain names should try a different thing. Namely, you should try to find a good domain name idea generator. Luckily, there are many tools like this available on the Internet. You just need to provide some basic info like your industry or number of words/letters and the tool will provide dozens of results. They can also check whether these domain name suggestions are available or not and you can buy them right away.


The "troubler" of Uruguayan football Luis Suarez, the Barcelona superstar has been in the eye of the storm when representing his beloved country. Biting his way through to problems. Luis Suárez is synonymous with goals, scoring them and creating them. The Barça number 9 has a fighting quality that makes him a winner through and through. Uruguay will play alongside host Russia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
The Spanish team have more than one Barcelona player, we have Pique, Iniesta to mention a few, Iniesta will lead his team just like he does at Barcelona. Andrés Iniesta is one of the players who has appeared most for the Club in its history. Elegant and modest, he is recognised as one of the best players in the world. Iniesta will adorn the Spanish shirt and go to war against Portugal in the Iberian matchup, they will also contend with Morocco and Iran.
Umtiti, Dembele are part of the French legion on their way to the World cup in Russia 2018. FC Barcelona paid a fortune to acquire the service of Dembele Ousmane, the French winger is one of most exciting dribblers in football and thrives on troubling rival defences both for club and country.
Lionel Messi the ultimate footballer and one of the greatest players in his generation will lead the Albecelestes of Argentina to try and replicate the feat of the great Diego Armanda Maradona. Leo Messi is technically perfect, he brings together unselfishness, pace, composure and goals to make him extra-terrestrial. He goes head to head against the ever bubbling Iceland, perennial world cup opponent Nigeria and the talented Croatia.
The next best thing after the poster boy of Brazilian football, joined Barcelona this season and together with Semedo, Paulinho will adorn the Brazillian jersey at this year's Mundial in Russia. They will test their might against Switzerland, Serbia and Costa-Rica.Countinho.
Ter Stegen remains the German no 1 in the absence of their injured Manuel Neur. Barcelona's numero uno is excellent with the ball at his feet, a player for the present and the future. He has been reassuring and outstanding for both club and country. In the group stage, Ters will try to stop Mexico, Sweden and South Korea.
Vermaelen is one of the members of the Belgium continent going to Russia. He was almost surplus to requirement at the Catalan club but as fate would have it, he remained at the club and can be said to be one of the mainstay at club. Belgium are in the same group alongside Panama, Tunisia and England.
The Centre back who stands out for his physical presence, being the tallest member of the squad, many might not know him but he is actually going to the world cup with Falcao and the rest of the Colombian gang. Colombia is in the same group as Poland,Senegal and Japan.


wow, what a great piece! I find it really assuring for TCKs to mention that we all are afraid of something. For some it might be moving to a different city, for TCKs it might be settling into an unknown "home country" without their parents. But fear is something we all have in common.
Living in the here and now is definitely very important, and getting involved is a great step. TCKs are very prone to escape into the past whenever they are struggling with the present. Thanks for this great reminder!
And "Pain is the one thing we share in common with every other person on the globe." Again, so true. It's there, you just have to watch closely enough, wait long enough. Sometimes it's hidden, sometimes it's glaring, but it's there. The pain is there. But it's only in the last few years I've been learning this.
I think the one thing I've learned about TCK's though, is this: the pain is NEW to them. Yes, all TCKs have a specific set of issues, and we hear many of the same types of stories when we talk to TCKs and adult TCKs. But it's not repetitive for them — their pain is new, their pain is real, and as we talk with them, I think I always have to keep in mind that their story is not the "same old story." It's theirs, it's new, it's not old, and it's still painful. I am the one who must remain sensitive to it.

Honda investing $124 million for new wind tunnel in Ohio
Sean Szymkowski April 21, 2017 Comment Now!
Things are about to be a bit breezier at the Transportation Research Center in Ohio. Honda has announced a $124 million investment for a multi-functional aeroacoustic wind tunnel facility for future product development.
The new wind tunnel will aid Honda in the engineering of not only more fuel efficient vehicles but will will also help the Japanese brand pioneer future performance products as well. So, hopefully, it will help shape that spiritual successor to the S2000 we've been hearing about.
CHECK OUT: Ford invests $200M in new wind tunnel facility
Featuring an interchangeable belt system, the new wind tunnel will have the ability to test both production cars and vehicles for the automaker's various motorsports endeavors. A five-belt rolling road system will be put in place for road vehicles and a single belt will test Honda performance vehicles and race cars. Speeds in the tunnel will be capable of reaching 192 mph.
Good guy Honda isn't keeping the state-of-the-art facility to itself, however. The automaker plans for four secure customer bays at the facility, too, to share the fruits of its labor. At this point, Honda isn't saying what companies it will share the wind tunnel with, however.
Honda will break ground on the new facility in late summer of this year, while further west, the automaker joins forces with General Motors to jointly manufacture fuel cell systems. The factory, a GM plant, resides in Brownstown Township, Michigan, and mass production is expected to go online in 2020.

        }
    }

 }

How can i resolve these errors.
Please guide.

A: The following lines of code:
callButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        if(v.getId()==R.id.email)
        {

            phoneCall();

        }
    }
});

mailButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if(v.getId()==R.id.email)
        {

            sendEmail();

        }
    }
});

Move the above code to the getView() method of SpecialAdapter. Also, add android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants" to the topmost LinearLayout of your mylist.xml. This will work.

A: Write your code as follows :
your SpecialAdapter.java should like this , and skip the clicklisterner of both buttons from  MyActivity.java
public class SpecialAdapter extends SimpleAdapter {
   private int[] colors = new int[] { 0x50888888, 0x7500aced };
    ImageButton callButton ,mailButton;

   public SpecialAdapter(Context context, List<HashMap<String, String>> items, int
               resource,    String[] from, int[] to) {
          super(context, items, resource, from, to);

      }

 @Override
 public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
    int colorPos = position % colors.length;
    view.setBackgroundColor(colors[colorPos]);

    callButton = (ImageButton)view .findViewById(R.id.call);
    mailButton = (ImageButton)view .findViewById(R.id.email);

    callButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

         // Here  you get the position of clicked item that you can retrive the value   from
         // array with the help of position

           // phoneCall();

    }
});

   mailButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        // Here  you get the position of clicked item that you can retrive the value from
         // array with the help of position

          //  sendEmail();

    }
  });

    return view;
  }
}

A: Before anything else, your code does not work as intended as you are checking if the button id is 'email' whenever you press the call button, which yeilds false all the time. You can get rid of those checks, they are redundent.
Also as others have suggested, your onClick method hooks should be done in getView() method in your custom adapter.

Washington, October 6, 1952.
Proposed Modifications of NSC 107/22
1. As you requested in our conversation on Friday, 3 October, I am forwarding this comment on the proposed modifications.
2. Generally speaking we would strongly favor the changes suggested by the Defense Department if the United States is actually in a position to back the position it would take. We are inclined to be dubious, however, as to the effect locally of assignment of United States token forces to the region. Such assignment might make the Soviet Union even more reluctant to intervene openly in the Middle East, but I believe similar reluctance could be instilled by other means, such as a declaration that the United States feels that the continued independence of Iran is essential to its own security, and interference therewith would be regarded as a causus belli. I am very much afraid that United States forces, even small forces, in the region would provide added fuel to Communist and other anti-Western propagandists.
3. So far as the effect upon our own capabilities is concerned, it is probably safe to say that we would be able to arm, equip and direct the activities of substantially larger guerrilla forces if we were able to count upon the presence nearby of regular American forces. Thus our paramilitary capabilities might be increased. It is possible, however, that our PW activities would be hampered for the reasons indicated in the last section of paragraph 2 above.

Ellingson earning warm reception with new Eskimos team
Gerry Moddejonge
Edmonton Eskimos' Greg Ellingson (82) celebrates a touchdown on the BC Lions during a CFL football game at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, on Friday, June 21, 2019.	Ian Kucerak / Postmedia, file
WINNIPEG — Greg Ellingson came into Thursday's game with the league lead in receiving yards.
It's a position many an Edmonton Eskimos receiver has been familiar with recently, with the receiving title housed in Commonwealth Stadium five out of the past six seasons.
But the latest front runner isn't concerning himself with filling the cleats of his Eskimos predecessors in his first year with the club so much as just continuing on with what he's been doing all along.
"No, I wouldn't think that way," said the veteran of seven Canadian Football League seasons, who came from the Ottawa Redblacks in off-season free agency. "I would think that no matter where I went or if I was sticking in Ottawa, the No. 1 focus is not replacing somebody or filling anybody's shoes, but in becoming one of your own and adding your own stripes and proving to the coaches and fan base that you belong.
"And you can only do that with the play that you put on the field."
Ellingson wasted no time auditioning his talents for his new stakeholders, either, leading the way in three different categories by posting 14 catches, 240 yards and 108 yards after catch over his first two weeks in green and gold.
But, more importantly, it helped get the Eskimos to a 2-0 start.
"And, yourself, you're looking out for the team because I think getting wins is the No. 1 priority," Ellingson said. "And then after that, you worry about all the numbers and statistics.
"But if you're putting up wins and you're winning over .500 and you make it to the playoffs, I don't think anybody pays too much attention to the stats that you put up compared to players before that."
Of course, playoffs are a long way off, so here's a recap of the most recent former league-leading Eskimos receivers:
• 2013 – Fred Stamps, 1,259 yards
• 2014 – Adarius Bowman, 1,456 yards
• 2016 – Adarius Bowman in No. 1 with 1,761 yards, Derel Walker in No. 2 with 1,589 yards
• 2017 – Brandon Zylstra, 1,687 yards
• 2018 – Duke Williams, 1,579 yards
Ellingson, of course, has been in the hunt during the past four seasons he's been in Ottawa, which all ended up in over 1,000 receiving yards, finishing seventh overall in 2015 with 1,061 yards, fifth in 2016 with 1,260 yards, third in 2017 with 1,459 yards and sixth in 2018 with 1,086 yards.
Interestingly, the only time an Eskimos receiver didn't win the receiving title the last six years was also the one time Edmonton hoisted the Grey Cup, here in Winnipeg, four years ago.
"I think any team just wants to win and I think any fan base just wants their team to win," said Ellingson, whose last Grey Cup appearance was last year in Edmonton. "And put itself in a position to win a Grey Cup."
What would have happened if the 2015 championship Eskimos coaching staff and roster had stayed together another year or two?
We'll never find out, of course, with then-head coach Chris Jones leaving for Saskatchewan just nine days after lifting the Grey Cup at IG Field. But after having won 10 games in a row in the lead-up to the falling confetti, it's been an intriguing question to former players off that team: What if?
"Oh, yeah, 2015 was a great year. A great team," said former Eskimos pass rusher Willie Jefferson, who followed Jones to Regina before joining the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this past off-season. "If we could have kept that team together for a couple years longer, we probably could have did it back to back, probably could have ran like a dynasty type thing."
It was an amazing end to a season that couldn't have started any worse, with starting quarterback Mike Reilly missing half the season from a knee injury suffered on opening day.
But, the saying goes, it's not how you start …
"We were well put together," Jefferson said. "The organization that we had, the coaches, the staff, the players and everything, after a while, we just jelled together as a family and everything was just going smooth.
"We had those 10 games in a row and then happened to win the Grey Cup, but if we could have kept that team together, it would have something really nice for a couple of years. That is football, that's the business side of it."
HOME FIELD
Little did Jefferson know at the time, the field he won his first Grey Cup on would one day become home turf.
"No, never. But you never know how the game goes. It's all playing football in Canada, in this league with a lot of moving pieces," he said. "So you move around and try and find that right spot that you can call home, and then hopefully try to bring a Grey Cup to that organization.
"I'm fitting in real good, it's not a real change. If anything, it's just like a better plug-in piece. Before I got here, they were already a good pass-rushing team and good covering team."

Comparing e‐service performance across industry sectors: Drivers of overall satisfaction in online retailing

The online retail industry is enormous, covering a great assortment of products and services. Yet, little research has examined whether determinants of success in online retailing are similar or differ by industry sector. The purpose of this study is to examine industry sectors separately to distinguish drivers associated with overall satisfaction for the online consumers in those sectors.
The paper uses ridge regression to examine how e‐service quality dimensions are associated with overall customer satisfaction for several e‐retailing sectors.
While several e‐service quality dimensions exhibit a similar impact across all sectors, several other dimensions exhibited sector‐by‐sector differences. The drivers that frequently differ across sectors include price perceptions, ease of returns and refunds, and privacy experience.
As an exploratory study, research opportunities and limitations derive from the public source of data, sample sizes within some of the sectors, and the ridge regression methodology.
Related prior research examined individual e‐retailing sectors, leading to scattered sets of findings that cannot be triangulated. The research allows for comparison by the manager, and presents empirical insights for managers in several e‐retail sectors.
This paper is one of only a few studies to examine a consistent set of e‐service quality measures on a sector‐by‐sector basis. The paper is also unique in that it uses publicly available data sources to examine these relationships, providing managers with insights on how they might analyze such public data sets for their own usage.

Manhattan is not New York: The Divergent Import of the Great Recession and Natural Disasters on New York City's Five Boroughs
Carolyn E. Predmore and Lauren Trabold
In much of the literature written in Sustainability and Environmental Justice, the focus is on the effects of government mismanagement or corporate social…
EPUB (201 KB)
In much of the literature written in Sustainability and Environmental Justice, the focus is on the effects of government mismanagement or corporate social irresponsibility, or CSR ignored for the goal of greater profits. Certainly we have seen natural resources ripped from communities and nations for the benefit of corporate profits (Sarkar, 2013). The idea that a participatory government will lead to greater efforts for sustainability must be viewed in the light of its times and economy (Gonzalez-Perez, 2013). What happens when the man-made disaster precedes or clashes with natural disaster? The Great Recession of 2008 was stunning in the rapidity with which it spread around the globe. The recession illustrated a global acceptance of financial wisdom that had been presented as fact and yet could easily be undermined by people who understood the barriers, boundaries, and restrictions in place as well as where the financial assumptions could be deceived by introduction of new terms and definitions as in the case of credit default swaps.
In this chapter, we focus on the influence of the recession on one of the most powerful financial capitals of the world, New York City. We discuss the general effect of the recession on New York City as a whole and then take a narrower look at each of the five boroughs, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. We examine the disparate economic states of each borough and how the recession has impacted each of them. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of the general perception of Manhattan's resilience to the recession and how is has impacted the other boroughs, such as the housing crisis in Staten Island and Queens following Hurricane Sandy, unemployment rates in the Bronx, and the rebuilding of a sustainable job market in Brooklyn.
We reviewed relevant literature, including academic research, reports issued by the State of New York, census data, articles printed in popular press outlets, and business resources to provide a thorough look at the influence of the Great Recession on New York City and each of its five boroughs. We found extensive support for the disparity amongst the five boroughs, despite the perception that New York City is thriving in the wake of the Great Recession and Hurricane Sandy. We detail the unique economic and environmental factors of each borough and explain how it influenced the impact of the Great Recession and subsequent natural disaster.
Manhattan was well insulated from the initial impact of the Great Recession, with tourism in the city remaining high through 2008 and financial firms on Wall Street experiencing record high profits well into 2009. Despite the downfall of Lehmann Brothers and Merrill Lynch, the financial bailouts and Federal Reserve credit available to Wall Street firms prevented Manhattan's financial sector from experiencing the dramatic unemployment rates that the rest of New York and the United States were facing (DeFreitas, 2009).
The Great Recession hit disadvantaged areas, like the Bronx, harder than other areas of New York, while Hurricane Sandy halted the economic recovery in areas like Queens and Staten Island. While unemployment remains low in New York City as a whole, the recovery from the Great Recession has been uneven, further widening the gap between New York City's boroughs, with the lower income areas at a greater disadvantage and the higher income areas souring. While Manhattan has recovered significantly, with Wall Street profits reaching record levels in 2009, other boroughs haven't experienced the same economic upturn and are still facing significant challenges (Parrott, 2010). While the city has gained nearly 375,000 jobs, nearly twice the number of jobs that were lost during the Great Recession (Crain's New York Business, 2013), the significant variance in wages and high costs of living has not greatly reduced the number of working poor across New York City and has not resulted in an evenly spread boost in wealth.
At the end of our chapter, we discuss "lessons learned" and, in particular, the importance of preparation for both fiscal and natural disasters. Local policy makers must ensure that the needs of its constituents are being met and will be met in the future if such hardship were to strike. Government leaders need to have a forward-looking plan, rather than simply handling immediate needs.
The originality of our content stems from a deeper look into the nuances of the economy of New York City. Statistics paint a picture of a thriving City, despite the Great Recession. However, understanding the distinct differences amongst the five boroughs illustrates that these citywide averages do not paint an accurate picture of life for New Yorkers off of Wall Street. The extent to which the high-income areas in Manhattan have recovered suggests that the economy of New York City as a whole is thriving, whereas the reality is that the middle-class has not recovered and the previously disadvantaged are now even more so. It is important to look at each of the five boroughs of New York City individually when creating policy to both recover from and prevent events such as the Great Recession and the destruction of Hurricane Sandy. Our chapter illustrates stark differences within New York City in the face of both financial and natural crises.
Lessons from the Great Recession: At the Crossroads of Sustainability and Recovery


DANNY Baker is best to known to some as 'the man from the washing powder adverts', but it didn't take long for him to remind the nation of his other achievements after he jetted down under.
The 59-year-old has took his place around the campfire a little late among the other famous faces on the latest series of I'm A Celebrity.
Im a celebrity Get me Out of here Danny Baker at Currumbin Wildlife sanctuary before entering the jungle.
His time on the show got off to a dramatic start when he discovered he and fellow latecomer Martin Roberts would be required to do a Bushtucker Trial straightaway.
Danny instantly divided fans with his endless cringe jokes and one-liners, some praising his offbeat humour and others instantly declaring themselves sick of him.
However, he made a sure-fire ally in the form of Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, who was unable to hold back her tears as she expressed her admiration for the broadcasting legend.
However, Danny fell victim to the public vote, and became the first camp mate to be eliminated from this year's I'm A Celebrity.
The broadcasting veteran revealed on Oct 3 he had finally beaten head and neck cancer six years after his initial diagnosis, and signed for the show days later.
A source told The Sun: "Danny has become this year's highest paid celebrity in the jungle so far after scooping a six figure sum.
"He's a real broadcasting legend and so bosses were desperate to sign him. Danny doesn't need the money but producers made him an offer he just couldn't refuse.
But apart from a great career in journalism and broadcast - and a passion for football - here are a few more things about the radio host you may not know.
Danny Baker, Chris Evans and Paul Gascoigne became known for their friendship and drinking antics.
Around the time Evans was spearheading TFI Friday - which Baker was described as the brains behind - Gazza was England's main man.
But Baker insisted that most of the time Gazza would sleep round the house on sofa as an escape, and they tried to curb his problems around alcohol.
He left school at 15 and went to work in a London record store, where he served stars such as Marc Bolan and Elton John.
He enjoyed the banter among the gay community, and reportedly used to wear a badge that said "Dare You Presume I'm Heterosexual?"
Danny Baker became known for hosting the Daz Doorstep Challenge adverts where presenters asked house occupiers to test the washing detergent against other brands.
Baker was diagnosed with mouth and throat cancer in 2010.
He spoke about suffering from cancer when collecting the 2011 Sony Radio Personality of the Year Award.
"I've lost two and a half stone, but I won't be bringing out a DVD on how I did it," he said. "I've had a horrible time."
In 1977, Baker began writing for the punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue founded by his old schoolfriend Mark Perry. He was then offered work from the New Musical Express, home to writers such as Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill.
Baker had an altercation with a British Rail Press Officer who interrupted an interview at Waterloo Station telling the presenter to leave because he didn't have permission.
Baker is seen pushing the PR guy, shouting at him "don't talk to me like that".
In early 1997, he was sacked from Five Live when station bosses alleged that he had incited threatening behaviour during an angry outburst about a referee.
In 2012, he quit BBC London in a fury when he learned his show was lined up for the axe. In a parting on-air rant, he described his superiors as "pinhead weasels".
It has been claimed that Baker was responsible for Bob Marley's death after treading on his foot during a charity football match in London in 1977.
However although Marley injured his foot in the game and cancer developed in his feet afterwards - Baker never played in the game.
And he believes the rumour started from a joke on his radio show.
Football-mad Baker didn't hold back when England were knocked out by Iceland in Euro 2016.
He tweeted: "Absolutely disgraceful, #England. You useless over paid, over indulged mollycoddled sh**s. You are beyond shame. Disgrace to working people.
"You f**king disgrace. You f**king disgrace. England footballers each and every one of you and your f**king manager are a f**king disgrace.
You f**king awful craven humiliating disgrace. Go on you f**kers pick up your PL wages you cheap sh**s. You worms. F**k you."

Q: How to make a JDBC connect to Crystal Reports with Postgres I want to create a new report using Crystal Reports. I downloaded the Postgres driver but when I want to create the connection, it shows an error "JDBC Driver not found"
How can I solve it?
Thanks :)

A: As Guido showed you can put this .jar file into JRE lib/ext directory. But I prefer:

*

*create directory where you can put such .jar files (c:\jars, /usr/local/jars)

*set CLASSPATH environment variable to this directory:

*

*CLASSPATH=.;c:\jars\*;

*export CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/jars/*

A: Putting your driver jar file under c:/Program Files/Java/jre_xxx/lib/ext/ should do the trick.

A babe is born in the shadows of the ravine city, a child who will end the self-imposed exile of the dwarves and usher in a new age of glory.
Years later, Ravine Guard Carnac Thayn discovers a break-in at the Scriptorium. A dwarf has been murdered and a book stolen, but the ruling council do nothing.
Then, when Carn is called to investigate thuds and crashes from the mines, old horror rises from the deep, and the city is threatened with slaughter.
Rumors begin to circulate about a mythical axe said to be lost below the earth, an axe wielded by the dwarf lords of old that might just be the last hope of a race marked to die.
But deception is rife, and unseen forces manipulate all paths to the future.It is a pivotal moment for the dwarves, and Carn must make a choice that will either save or damn his people.
Blood will flow in rivers through the ravine.
Friends will become foes.
A name will be forgotten.
And a hero will rise.

Q: mkfs.ext4 command not available in fedora 8 Is ext4 file system supported on fedora 8? If yes, then how do i enable it?
I am unable to see format command for ext4. I can see only mkfs.ext3 and mkfs.ext2.

A: Fedora 8 was released on 8 November 2007
ext4 went stable on 21 October 2008
So no, it did not include ext4 support.
I would say it's time to upgrade your system but honestly that time was 6 years ago already. :-)

A: Check when fedora 8 and ext4 came out and you'll understand.
Ext4 support was experimental starting from fedora 9. It came being the default filesystem since fedora 11.
Also note this is an 7 years old distribution and fedora technical support is limited to Fedora 20 and 21.

A budding international band, Annie and Toby have recently released a new single, "Hide and Seek," and they're about to release the Part.2 of "We Love We Leave."

Identifying themselves as the "ultimate 90s' kids" in an interview with K-Sound, Annie says they draw inspiration from a wide range of music as well as happenings around the world.
Annie: Toby is a punk rock kid, and I love rock music, but we've been doing punk rock for a long time. It's not going anywhere, so we wanted to do something really fun and new. That's how the synthesizers came in - we went back to our roots and tried to figure out what kind of music we really like.

I wrote a whoooole heap of posts on SEO last year (you can check out the series here). And recently I asked you guys what kind of bloggy / techy posts you would like to see, and the awesome blogging kiwis of Rebecca and Emma requested a post on some quick and easy SEO tips you can do to each blog posts which don't require too much thought or time. SEO is an incredibly popular thing in the world now, it helps get people out there in the world. It's not just for blogging though either, it works for a load of different businesses as well. Like did you realise that you could get marijuana seo if you wanted? Obviously, running a business is a bit different to writing a blog, but it's interesting right? Anyway, back to SEO for blogging. Well, your wish is here! And seriously, if anyone else has any blog suggestions throw them in the comments, tweet me, or drop me an email. My sister works for a law firm marketing company and taught me strategies that can help 10x the size of your business! So I decided I HAD to try them!!
So if you are like most of us and super busy and to be honest, cbf in terms of sitting and adding a meta description, configuring your HTML and searching for google key terms then this post is for you. Here are the 4 things you can do in each post which don't require much time or effort but will give you that golden SEO juice which will help filter searches to your blog more and more. Just a small pointer before you carry on, although these tips are good for certain blog posts, you want to market your blog well as a whole. Whether this means trying to market yourself, or work with an external SEO company like CommsLab, that's up to you. However, you'll probably find you'll get the best results by working with another company. Just saying!
This bit should be easy as most people are doing it anyway. But it just means making your post look not too spammy. So, make sure you break up your posts – no giant paragraphs. Use a spell check to make sure it's not full of errors. Think about breaking posts into lists or bullet points to make it easier to scan. Essentially, the easier you make your posts to read – the better. SEO takes into account the quality of your website along with how long a reader spends on it.
Try and make your posts longer than you think – don't post things with only a couple of hundred words. Throw in a couple of links within each post, even if it's just backlinks to your own posts. These kinds of things will soon become innate and as you write you won't even think about it but that SEO juice will be happy!
Yeah okay, it can be a right pain to find an optimum key word then make sure it's in 5000 different places and not look totally forced. Just try and keep some kind of key word flowing throughout. For example, this one is SEO. My travel posts are usually the location I'm talking about. This will help categorise your post a little more, just make sure instead of referring to 'it' or 'there' you just pop the name in each time. Much easier.
This is one of the only ones which is kind of a pain but totally worth doing. Alt tags are what google scans as it can't see your actual photo when it looks at your webpage. You can set your alt tag just by clicking on the photo and adding some text. You can add the same alt text to all of your photos, literally just type out whatever it is, then copy and paste it throughout all the images on the post.
Not only does this help your SEO but it is awesome for Pinterest as well, there are too many times where I think I will pin someones photo but as there isn't a description, I can't really be bothered writing one and give up. The alt tag is what appears underneath your pin when someone adds it. I actually usually when making my Canva image like the one at the top of this post, name it the pinterest description then it pops right in.
Another one which takes a bit of outlay but then is super useful. Number one, get your own domain name! Get rid of the .blogspot or .wordpress and get a .com or .co.uk ASAP. You will only build up SEO against your site if you have your own domain. Otherwise when you change over you will loose it all (same goes for domain authority too).
Next, I know it's tempting to do your blog design yourself but if you do buy a good quality design from someone else, they usually have a lot of the SEO optimisation built in. For example, any wordpress templates which are built on Genesis, genesis itself has a heap of good things. Meaning you get SEO juice with practically no effort at all. Just what the busy (or cough, lazy like me) blogger needs in their life!
So there we have it, one post you need to read to help you build up all that lovely SEO. This should then help Google drive more people to your site as it will appear higher in the search ranking. Tell me friends, do you have any quick and easy SEO tips we should be following?
PS if you are one WordPress then Yoast is a super handy SEO plug in to use which makes all of this much easier too!

Rediscovering old that's gold
Food bloggers are going out of their way to rediscover hidden, authentic eateries in the city
By Rachel Dammala
HYDERABAD: Food bloggers are typically known to try out the latest restaurants and eateries in town and review them for their followers. But, apart from doing just this and rating food places in the city, some of them have been discovering, trying and promoting places as old as five decades in the city. All this for no cost but for the genuine love of exploring and letting people know of good food when they find it.
Food blogger Srushty Ladegaam (@hydfoodtrip on Instagram) grew up visiting not just the fancy places in the city, but even the austere and unelaborate hotels and messes to dine at. That has, today, helped her put together her latest series called the Hidden Gems.
"For a long time now there has been this growing realisation that certain places with great food didn't get the recognition they deserve. Despite serving Hyderabad the best food for years, they remain where they were when they started out. Some of these places are as old as decades. This pushed me to do something about it and that's how the series to rediscover and popularise old yet gold kind of food started," Srushty tells CE.
Mohd Zubair Ali
As part of her series, she has covered places like the Fish Canteen at Shantinagar Colony in Masab Tank, Andal Mixture & Tiffins in Malkajgiri, Chattu Ram's at Chudi Bazaar and Megha City in Basheerbagh, among many others.
All these places probably ring a bell in a Hyderabadi's head, making them wonder why, despite serving lip-smacking food, these remain underrated.
"These places are not some new discoveries I've made. They're places I have visited as a child or suggestions made by my friends or followers. This is just to bring back the kind of name and fame they deserve," she adds.
The idea to start this series stemmed out of Srushty's pure passion and love for the F&B industry.
"I remember a time when I visited Shaalimaar Tiffins in Ranigunj after very long and the owner telling me how a picture I posted of his food got him good customers. He said a man came to him with a screenshot from my profile asking to be served that item. That's when I knew I wanted to do more of this."
Mohd Zubair Ali, another popular food blogger (hyderabad.food.diaries) in town, has been working towards rediscovering new places for seven years now.
"I'd mostly put out reviews of such places on Facebook and Zomato, back then, because there was no Instagram. The emergence of social media platforms and the new generation of bloggers have made the job easier. I did such a series as part of a category about places where students could get good local food at affordable prices. Passing on the information about such places has been very rewarding, emotionally," he shares.
Vasanthi Singampalli, who runs the popular food blog, @tastydrips on Instagram, says, "Hyderabad's street food is quite an experience. It comprises dishes that encapsulate the cosmopolitan and heritage-laced identity of the city. There are tonnes of not-so-popular places in Hyderabad, that serve great food and are known only to people in that particular neighbourhood. It's nice to see so many bloggers discovering these unexplored places and getting them into the limelight.
These are the little-known places of the city that have served mind-blowing food for more than two decades now, yet couldn't make it to the famous restaurants' list. Many good restaurants in a particular city go unnoticed mostly because they are either small or don't look appealing enough to attract good customers. Their food might be great, but the place has no good marketing. That's where food bloggers are being of great help."

Outside the classroom, the Center enhances a student's educational experience by providing campus-wide seminars, programs, and workshops on leadership and professionalism to help accelerate a student's development of the attitudes, behaviors, and skills that define an effective professional. These qualities are an impressive and distinguishing attribute of a York College graduate.
York College is committed to providing service learning opportunities that will allow students to contribute to the community while obtaining valuable experience and enhanced employment credentials. Volunteer programs at York reflect that students can obtain valuable life experience through service learning and that employers frequently seek graduates who have been constructively involved in their community. Service learning opportunities are available in a variety of organizations and can be selected based on a student's major or area of academic interest. Students interested in participating in service learning should contact the Career Development Center, Student Activities Office, or the Center for Leadership Development.


Top of the morning to y'all! So in light of my down-trodden self about my current stall, I've been collecting some NSV's to be excited about.
My 16 jeans – that have always been skin tight and I got to where I could not wear them because I was pushing a size 20 – fit perfectly and even have a little bag in the booty.
A pair of shorts I couldn't wear two months ago are super baggy on me now.
My husband and kids are really noticing and saying stuff about my weight loss to date.
I bought a small Fitbit HR on accident early this year and could barely make the last prong to put it on. I am now comfortably on the 3rd from the bottom prong and can place the lip in the strap holder now!
I did my C25K training four times this week and killed it!
And drumroll please…22.25 inches lost since surgery!
I took my measurements the day before surgery. I was over the moon when I saw these numbers this morning! I know I was a bit surprised at the waist but I did it three times so, it's right.
Now… To clean this house and get some homework done…happy Sunday everyone!

Great job! It's always good to remember, the scale isn't the only measure of success.
