Building Bridges to Careers: Q&A with Year Up CEO Gerald Chertavian
Customers and Community
Gerald Chertavian is founder and CEO at Year Up, one of the fastest growing non-profits in the nation that helps urban young adults develop technical and professional skills that they apply during a six-month internship at a company. We had the opportunity to sit down with Chertavian following a presentation he gave to executive attendees at Workday Rising to discuss his passion for building bridges that lead more people out of poverty and into successful careers.
Mary Hayes Weier
There's a significant opportunity divide in the U.S., and Gerald Chertavian is passionate about building bridges that lead more people out of poverty and into successful careers.
With a Harvard MBA and a resume that includes Wall Street banker and software company CEO, Chertavian has taken a businesslike approach to helping young people break out of the cycle of poverty. Year Up is one of the fastest growing non-profits in the nation with 21 training locations and 250 corporate partners.
We had the opportunity to sit down with Chertavian following a presentation he gave to executive attendees at Workday Rising in Chicago. As a corporate partner, we're passionate about our involvement with Year Up—the Workday Foundation has provided $1 million in funding to the organization, and more than 60 percent of our Year Up interns have become Workday employees. At the conference, Workday donated $135,000 to Year Up, and attendees donated cash, professional clothes, and participated in a mentoring session with its local students.
What inspired you to start Year Up?
Thirty years ago, I was involved in the Big Brothers mentoring program and began meeting each Saturday with a 10-year-old boy named David. He lived in a seriously crime-ridden housing project in New York—his mother wouldn't even let him outside to play. This was during the height of the crack epidemic, and I remember drug vials breaking under my shoes outside of his apartment. But as I got to know David and his family and friends, I realized they were some of the most remarkable and motivated people I'd met in my life. Yet because of their skin color, income, and zip code, they didn't have many of the same opportunities as other kids their ages.
That experience with David really stuck with me, and in 1989 I wrote a paper on starting a program to close the opportunity divide. After business school I was pretty broke, but luckily it was a good time to get into the software industry and I started a company that made knowledge management systems. I also started a family, and I knew I had to make sure my own children were secure before I could focus on someone else's children. When I sold the company for a profit, I was able to start Year Up.
How did you know the concept for Year Up would work?
I never doubted it, because I knew David—I knew how smart he was, and how smart his brothers were. I talked with them at length and saw such capacity. It was clear to me the market for talent was broken for all the wrong reasons. It's not that people stuck in poverty lack hustle, grit, and ambition; it's because they don't have opportunities. Sometimes when you see market failure you have to connect the market so supply and demand can talk to each other, and that's what we're doing with Year Up.
Can you elaborate on that idea of talent market failure?
Companies are requiring four-year degrees for jobs that didn't require them in the past, and they're using bots and AI to weed out resumes without degrees. But by doing this, they're potentially throwing out a lot of good talent. They're also overlooking massive opportunities to increase productivity and diversity, while also saving money.
Lots of companies are bringing outsourced technical jobs back to the U.S. because the labor cost arbitrage is declining. Some of these jobs are entry level. If a company requires every entry-level hire to have a four-year degree, it's pushing up its cost base. Alternatively, they could be opening up opportunities to more people, and creating pathways where new hires can work while also pursuing a higher education.
So the intention is these entry-level hires could ultimately pursue more education?
All of us should be focused on continuing to grow, and oftentimes that includes getting more education while working. The average age of earning a bachelor's degree is now between 26 and 28, and certainly, most people who graduate at that age were working while going to school. We want Year Up graduates to have not only opportunities but the economic stability required for continued career growth. Because if you're 22 and can't get a foothold on the economic ladder, then you end up working three jobs that pay $7 an hour and the pursuit of higher education becomes a pipe dream.
Does hiring people without four-year degrees require a different mindset within companies?
For sure. In the early days, it was harder for us to get corporate sponsors, because we didn't have any references. Now it's much easier to craft partnerships when business leaders can talk to people whose companies are very involved in Year Up, including Aneel Bhusri of Workday and Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn.
How has it been to partner with Workday?
Workday is a high quality, kind, and professional organization. I've met quite a few people from Workday, and they are just good humans. You talk with Aneel and get a sense of who he is, and it's no surprise the organization has that kind of culture. We see other enlightened leaders in tech, and we'd love for even more in the industry to help build a pluralistic and diverse society with opportunities for everyone, and one way to do that is to tap into different sources of talent. We've proven our approach works—we've expanded to 21 locations. We want to continue to work with the tech industry's bright minds and see if we can keep multiplying that number.
How else do you measure the program's success?
When our students graduate from the program they earn an average wage of $19 per hour, which is considerably above minimum wage in every state. Those graduates are also starting out in jobs that will grow over time.
"It's time to reimagine the talent marketplace, and this will only happen with deliberate leadership."
What else can you share about Year Up's growth strategy?
We now partner with 14 community colleges around the country and are in talks to partner with more. A good analogy is the Reserve Officers' Training Corps—Year Up is a program offered within a school, and as a student, instead of wearing a military uniform you're expected to dress professionally. Instead of going on a field exercise, you're going to an internship. You have additional requirements, coursework, and expectations. Think of us as a professional training corps.
What do you hope to be the most important takeaway from your talk at Workday Rising?
In this era of a tight labor market and global competitiveness, and our continuing need for a healthy democracy, we need to bring more people into the economy. Inclusive capitalism is surely a big idea. Yet we see the effects of not having economic inclusiveness, and how it's a big issue across all political parties. We also know that handouts don't work—what does work is opportunity. And if you set the bar high and challenge someone to jump over, the vast majority will succeed.
It's time to reimagine the talent marketplace, and this will only happen with deliberate leadership. I hope everyone recognizes the power they have to reshape the talent marketplace and to help pull people out of poverty, while also helping their businesses become more successful.

Źródło Główne lub Zdrój Główny – główne źródło siarczanej wody leczniczej w Krzeszowicach, o wydajności 1,61 m³ na godzinę. Źródło znajduje się na południe od kościoła, natomiast bliżej kościoła obok mostu na Krzeszówce (ul. Parkowa) znajduje się betonowa studnia z napisem Zdrój Główny. Około 1778 źródło zostało ocembrowane i przykryte drewnianą wieżyczką (nazywane kapliczką) z inicjatywy lekarza zdrojowego Jana Gotfryda Leonhardiego na polecenie Augusta Czartoryskiego.

Później, na południe od źródła, wybudowano zbiornik wody siarczanej, do którego pompowano wodę, by podnieść jej poziom. Z niego woda dostawała się do łazienek zdrojowych drewnianymi rurami.

W roku 1857 zdrój został ocembrowany cegłami i zmniejszono obwód studni, dzięki czemu wzrósł w niej poziom wody więc zaprzestano pompowania jej do zbiornika w tzw. kapliczce. W 1858 zabytek uzyskał teraźniejszy wygląd a w 1982 został wyremontowany

Dzięki regularnie prowadzonym analizom fizykochemicznym woda mineralna z ujęcia Zdrój Główny została scharakteryzowana jako siarczanowo-wapniowo-magnezowo-siarczkową i prawnie uznana za leczniczą. Obecnie wody ze źródła są wykorzystywane przez miejscowy Ośrodek Rehabilitacji Narządu Ruchu "Krzeszowice" SP ZOZ.

Obiekt został wpisany do rejestru zabytków nieruchomych Wojewódzkiego Urzędu Ochrony Zabytków w Krakowie.

Our "Monkeys and Crocodiles" tour starts by visiting the white-faced Capuchin monkeys' area, where you are guaranteed to have fun interacting with these lovely animals. Secondly, we head up to a beautiful rain forest and drive through our countryside driving around fruits plantations, having the chance to get involved with the local farmers in their fruits stands.
HIGHLIGHTS Monkeys, Crocodiles, Rainforest, Birds, Country Side.
Afterwards, there is a world-known jungle crocodile safari throughout the Tarcoles River that awaits for you. A large variety of bird species are here, among them the scarlet macaw that is the emblem of our forest you also have a nice combination of three different ecosystems. Having experienced all this you will be taken to a remarkable view point to see the canopy of the forest as well as the ocean from different levels.
On the way back, there is a shopping stop to purchase handcrafts (if you are not a good shopper we skip this.) Finally, a short city tour in Puntarenas gives you the chance to see its main attractions.

Maggie Tuttle
Investigative writer Martin J. Walker states: " I was asked to write the HRT: Licensed to Kill and Maim book by Maggie Tuttle who set up an organisation called the Menopausal Help Line (MHL) in London, in 1996. Maggie, who herself had a bad experience with HRT, wanted more than anything to give a voice to the thousands of women with whom she had come into contact who had also been damaged." Before Maggie folded the Menopausal Helpline, she had received over 10,000 letters.
The Menopausal Helpline Limited
A voluntary organisation for women's well being.
The Helpline, this is a voluntary organisation founded by Maggie Tuttle after she suffered a series of serious side effects from Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Maggie set up the Helpline after she realised that there were many other women with similar problems and no organisation which could listen and offer help. The impact was extraordinary. To date over 10,900 women have contacted her by letter or phone, desperate for someone with whom they can share their problems. She continues to receive calls and letters daily from women throughout the UK and elsewhere.
We are, perhaps the only menopausal helpline that is not funded by any pharmaceutical companies and we can hear the relief in women's voices when they find that they can talk freely about the problems they have had after taking these drugs. There is very little scientific evidence to prove that these drugs are of benefit to the heart, osteoporosis or anything else while the negative effect of synthetic progestogens have been withheld from the public for years. Even at the last International Conference in Florence in 1998, they bad to admit there was a lack of evidence and the fact that the long term effect of these drugs is UNKNOWN.

Maggie Tuttle writes to One Click http://www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk/
Menopausal Help Line on the side effects of HRT
Regarding ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and many other chronic nervous diseases, as I have told you, I have so much research and a lot of leads came from the women calling the help line, then I or others would research it.
A lady who was a nurse in Liverpool and had been on HRT was also very poorly, but she was very aware that, as she said, something was going down in the mortuary with the autopsies, so she got her self transferred to the mortuary. On every form filled in on the autopsy reports, the pathologist had to check every dead person for their oestrogen levels and had to tick a box on the left side of the form which was for oestrogen levels.
So I and others started to research via the women on the database. I also spoke to many neurologists here in the UK and America. Oestrogen from the pill, HRT or any form of hormones prescribed, or from the chemicals en masse in the environment which mimic oestrogens, what happens is that oestrogens in the body go directly to the central nervous system which is the spine, which goes directly through to the brain, so when I linked from the database why so many women had all sorts of nervous problems to include severe headaches, tiredness, muscle pain, body shaking, legs only shaking, depression was reported big time. Suicide, memory loss, black outs, unable to walk or move at times including Narcolepsy, which is what I also use to have and is very frightening, Parkinson's Disease burning in the body and many other nervous disorders.
After listening to Dr Robert Aronowitz, a physician and Historian, of the medical university of Pennsylvania, he commented that when oestrogens entered the central nervous system, they also attacked the nerve endings which in turn attack the muscles. Then we have the problem as I have stated above, and this does make sense.
When I personally questioned the women, and remember I have questioned thousands of women via the help line, I also questioned women who are prescribed the pill which is in the same form as HRT. All hormones are a form of steroids which deplete the body of the calcium, and that is why we have amongst women so much osteoporosis.
Then we go to the letter from the F.D.A in America and Martin Walker has also stated in the book HRT: Licensed to Kill and Maim, that all oestrogens are carcinogenic, so why are young girls and women prescribed oestrogens, when they all know oestrogens causes cancer?
I have also questioned many gay guys who have been prescribed hormones, they also have many of the same problems as we women. So if we go back to why in the present day in the autopsy reports, are they checking for oestrogens? They know from countless research from around the world that oestrogens are playing havoc on the body, including myself. So many of the women prescribed the pill and HRT are diagnosed with M.E, MS and chronic disorders.
My research is vast, even to the children born to mothers who had been on the pill, These babies are born with deformities, one being genital defects, and this organisation I also researched into. Is this why all mothers are being questioned as to the behaviour of children, and many children are hyperactive?
A Professor Baum here in London publicly stated when he was asked to comment on babies born with defects. He said that it was either the contraception pill or something that is in the environment that was not there 40 years ago. Yes the chemicals used on the food we eat are mimicking oestrogens. Again I spoke to a professor Sweating at the water board, his exact words were, it is not the women's hormones that go down the loo it is the chemicals used 6/7 times to try and purify the water, the chemicals mimic oestrogens not women's pee. Beer is made from water he also said, so I also researched in that field and found that the borough of Islington had also researched into why so many men were growing busts.
I have offered all the research that I have to governments, pharmaceutical companies, doctors and so on, but we are ignored. Cancer amongst women is a huge problem globally. If we go back in time to the 60s we had cancer, yes, but not on an enormous scale like it is today. And just look around the world at the amount of cancer charities, organisations for cancer, research into cancer - it is never ending. So why from the 60s to the present day is there so much cancer in women and children? The answer is very clear: oestrogens. But look at the billions of Dollars lost if all of this was made public. Remember a database with over 11.000 women all having been questioned and sent a form to fill in. Here lies the truth.

"That is not due to abundance or depletion of rain, but it is due to the disappearance of the 'Ulamā [educated scholars] then the occurrence of a "people" [not 'ulamā!] who give fatwā [verdicts] according to their own opinions [meaning unqualified opinions] corrupting/bending [the meaning] of Islām and destroying it".
The fact that Ibn Mas'ūd used the word "a people will come" shows that they are not scholars but pretenders; which is inferred from the fact that he referred to the first group as "scholars", whereas the second group, he referred to them as merely "people". It also indicates that such people will be mistaken by the common folk to be scholars, since they "give fatwā" and because they are assumed to be scholars by the common folk, their opinions are respected; although they are contrary to the practice of Islam. In this way the pretenders distort and help in destroying a true representation of Islam, as Ibn Mas'ūd mentioned.
Much of what we see happening today under the claim of "contextualisation and reform" is a result of what Ibn Mas'ud is talking about. Anyone will notice that those who are consistent in such claims, tend to focus on issues that conflict with societies whose moral compass is dictated by godless people; who openly disregard religion as a premise altogether and openly show disregard towards Islam as a religion. Much of it is done as a desperate attempt to convince such societies that "our religion" is suitable for their standard of life, or to make permissible what is known to be forbidden in search for desirable ease.
There is no doubt some type of contextualisation must apply in the modern world when it is necessary, which is embodied by jurisprudence.
To "contextualise" means to take the foundations of something and make it applicable to the times in a meaningful way, or to grant dispensations in areas recognised by the Sharī'ah. Some of what we see today is not that, but rather unwarranted and unqualified reasoning by those who wish to change the rules and regulations of matters well established in Islam.
When I read this I recalled the 'fatwa' of Usama bin Ladin that it was now open season on Non-Muslim civilians.
O ALLMIGHTY ALLAH give safty to us.


Members of the media are invited to a press conference on Monday 24 April 2017 at 12h00 in Johannesburg at Constitution Hill (Women's Jail, Constitution Hill, 11 Kotze St, Johannesburg).

– This past Monday, 17 April, over 1500 Palestinian political prisoners launched an open-ended hunger strike across Israeli jails, detention centers and prisons. The hunger strike has the support of the virtual entirety of Palestinian political organizations as well as civil society bodies.
– Over the past 50 years, more than 800 000 Palestinians have been imprisoned or detained by Israel (about 40% of all Palestinian men living under military occupation have been detained).
– 13 Palestinian parliamentarians are also currently being held by Israel.
– In the last one year period Israel has arrested more than 400 Palestinians for social media posts.

In other words, Timberlake plays that student named Richie Furst, who learns that the site is hosted from a remote island location and goes to confront the site's corrupt owner Ivan Block, played by Affleck.
But soon:
Richie is seduced by Block's promise of immense wealth, until he learns the disturbing truth about his benefactor. When the FBI tries to coerce Richie to help bring down Block, Richie faces his biggest gamble ever: attempting to outmaneuver the two forces closing in on him.
Also starring Anthony Mackie, David Costabile, Sam Palladio and Ben Schwartz, Runner Runner is set to open on October 4th, 2013.
Let us know what you think about the movie & stay tuned for more updates!

I am the grand parent of the bride and contributed to the wedding, we kept any problems from her as it should have been the beast day or her life, The points raised by me were not addressed. How many other women's shoes have been ruined by the grill as you enter the breakfast/conservatory. When was the loose taps repaired and hot water supply in the other room. May be other guests can help please.
Dear Victoria, I have posted a response to this review. If you would like to discuss anything with me personally please do email or call me. Contact details are on the response.


Another day, another delay, as a computer outage caused United Airlines to cancel nine flights and delay 580 others for two-and-a-half hours on Tuesday. But for passengers trapped in electronic limbo between the tarmac and takeoff, the Federal Aviation Administration is considering making air travel slightly more enjoyable after revealing plans to review the use of personal electronic devices during flight.
Announced on Monday, the agency intends to form a study group consisting of airlines, mobile and aviation technology manufacturers, pilot and aircrew groups, and passenger associations to determine whether devices like laptops, mobile phones, and tablets can be safely used while the aircraft is in operation, even during takeoff and landing. However, the FAA will not consider allowing passengers to make calls on their cell phones (which is OK with us because no one wants to hear you say sweet nothings to your significant other throughout the flight).
While the administration does not explicitly ban the use of such devices, it requires the airlines to prove the gadgets do not interfere with aircraft navigation and communication systems, testing that few carriers have done. Despite this, pilots have been cleared to use iPads in cockpits by the FAA since December 2011.
The group will present its findings in six months, but, for air travelers, the ruling cannot come soon enough. Under the current guidelines, passengers are not allowed to use their devices until the plane reaches 10,000 feet. Even being stranded at the gate means that you only have the in-flight magazine to keep you company. If the changes are enacted, passengers could potentially log on to Facebook or play Angry Birds from the moment they board the aircraft.
While that's great and all, how about some free Wi-Fi onboard to actually do these sorts of things?

EXCLUSIVE 'I have met someone and I'm really excited': Ferne McCann confirms romance with Jack Padgett after experiencing the 'struggles of single life'
Ferne McCann has confirmed her new romance with Jack Padgett and admits she's relieved to no longer go through the 'struggles of single life.'
The First Time Mum star, 30, told MailOnline she is officially off the market, after being pictured passionately kissing model Jack in South Africa last month.
In an exclusive interview, Ferne, revealed she's 'really excited' about her relationship and has enjoyed saying goodbye to life as a single woman in lockdown.
'I am really, really excited': Ferne McCann has confirmed her new romance with Jack Padgett and admits she's relieved to no longer go through the 'struggles of single life'
She told MailOnline: 'I have met someone. But it is early days and I don't want to divulge into too much information.
'We will see. I am excited, I am really, really excited about how this will go and how it will develop.
'Obviously I was single in lockdown so I knew the struggles of single life – it was like do you go on the apps? Am I going to meet someone randomly?'
Ferne, who's a mum to daughter Sunday, three, has been single since May when she and New York-based boyfriend Albie Gibbs went their separate ways.
'I knew the struggles of single life': The First Time Mum star, 30, told MailOnline she is officially off the market, after being pictured passionately kissing model Jack in South Africa last month
The former TOWIE star split from Sunday's father Arthur Collins, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for GBH and ABH, during her pregnancy.
Ferne told MailOnline in October last year she had been using celebrity-dating app Raya to meet her next partner – after turning 30 months earlier and asking herself: 'Am I going to be single forever?'
She said at the time: 'Turning 30… I had that whole moment where I'm still single… as a female, when you're single at 30 you really start to question yourself and you think "am I ever going to find anyone?" This isn't what I planned.'
Ferne's single days are finally over after Jack joined her in South Africa last year, with the pair pictured hugging and kissing during a trip to Boulders Beach in Cape Town.

The TV star confirmed she will return to ITVBe later this year with the seventh series of her reality show First Time Mum – but the pandemic has left her unsure of when she will start filming.
She said: 'The answer is yes we will see First Time Mum return back to our screens, which I'm really proud of.
'I got the news coming into 2021 and it's a show I'm proud of that is close to my heart because I started it when I was pregnant and the fan base and support I have had from the viewers, people have seen me learn how to become a mum and have seen Sunday develop.
'I don't know when I am starting filming again as everything in life is a bit up in the air but that's definitely something to look forward to.'
'Exciting': Ferne confirmed she will return to ITVBe later this year with the seventh series of her show First Time Mum – but the pandemic has left her unsure of when she will start filming
Ferne will put her culinary skills to the test as a contestant on Celebrity Best Home Cook, which starts on Tuesday night.
The BBC1 show challenges those taking part to create homely meals and impress judges and cooking experts Mary Berry, 85, Angela Hartnett, 52, and Chris Bavin, 40.
Due to Mary being in her 80s, she will give her critique from a balcony, a distance that means she will stay safe while still taking part in the celebrity series.
Mary being separated from the contestants didn't make it any less nerve-wracking, with Ferne admitting she felt pressurised to perform well for the former Bake Off judge.
'The pressure is on': Ferne will put her culinary skills to the test as a contestant on Celebrity Best Home Cook, which starts tonight, and is judged by former Bake Off star Mary Berry
She said: 'Best Home Cook was great. It was an amazing opportunity, I feel like it was a dream come true because I really love home cooking and to do it on a show and to cook for Mary Berry… it was so fab, I had a ball.
'I thought I was a relatively good cook walking into this competition but it was a whole different ball game. Now I have to cook for Mary Berry and she is not only going to be eating my food, she is going to be judging it. The pressure is on.
'She is an absolute legend and a national treasure – I have grown up watching her on TV so I was somewhat star-struck. There were a lot of added pressures to this.
'When I got over the nerves it was a real privilege, when Mary gives you a good comment, I cannot tell you, it is the best feeling in the whole entire world.'

Day 5 of 90, maybe 56, for good time. My son's jail time that's left after being kicked out of mental health court. No more probation after his days served. No felony conviction, thank God. Misdemeanors only. That frees him. He is 22, soon 23. He started mental health court at age 19. It kept him alive.
I'll never forget the night when Mitch called from his apartment in a panic. He was sure there were men in his house with guns. I told him to call the police immediately. He first took a baseball bat and broke open his bedroom window to escape and went to the neighbors' house in the middle of the night and called the police. He let them in his house. There was drug paraphernalia. We were trying to see if he could live on his own with his disability. He did well for almost a year, but the neighborhoods that those on disability can afford are drug infested. There were two heroin deaths in the apartment below my son's. But that was then.
Today, to get by in jail, Mitch imagines that jail is the only world that exists. If he thinks of his freedom, he says he will fall into depression. So, to him, there is no outside world. He says that helps him cope. I fear he will likely learn to be a better criminal. I want him to be a better person. They do give him his antipsychotic meds, but jail is no place for the mentally ill. They need to be in treatment. I worry jail will become familiar to him. Imagine a mentally ill person having to create an alternate universe for themselves because the one they are in feels so dangerous. How pathetic is that?
We send him money on his commissary account so he can buy food so he doesn't go to bed hungry. Ramen noodles are gold.
His last cell mate was a skin head. Swastikas were tattooed on his skin. Mitch said his cell mate's skin was peeling and landed like dust. The skin head's skin would fall into a pile on the floor. Mitch found the dead skin and this cell mate disgusting. He's so glad that one is gone.
His current cell mate talks to himself. The cell mate sits on the metal stool in the cell facing Mitch's bottom bunk just looking at him. That's now frightening Mitch and he wants to do something about it. I encouraged him to be curious and not confrontational. Mitch finds it creepy. Me too.
I need to remember to send him isometric exercises for his shoulder which was recently surgically repaired.
Tonight, there's to be a movie for the pod. He says it's currently a good pod. But it's always changing.
Once done with his time in jail, Mitch's through with mental health court. He didn't graduate from it. They basically kicked him off because nothing seemed to help him. He was on and off his meds, on and off the streets, in and out of hospitals, and in and out of jail. People with serious mental illness live in their own world. The best we can do sometimes is to meet them where they are with delusions, paranoia, and attempts at self harm. They need love and support. Please help break the stigma of mental illness. Tell your stories. We do not gain in shame.
One day at a time. Thank you to all the family, friends, and mothers I've met along the way in this journey. I'm forever in your debt for being a light in this complicated dark journey. I especially want to thank Sim Gill and the judges in the Salt Lake City Mental Health Court for their compassion. We must fund more programs for our seriously mentally ill and those with co-occurring substance use disorder. Keep peeling back the layers.
With all my gratitude, now on Day 6.

Q: How do you wire up jQuery global event handler for HTML5 date constraint validation? I have a html5 date control with a min/max contraint as below.
<input class="testclass" type="date" min="2020-02-01" max="2020-03-01"/>

The control can sometimes be loaded via ajax and there may be occasions when there are multiple of these controls on a form. I intend to catch the invalid state on submit so I can display the error in a way which is more coherent with the rest of the error messages in the forms.
The above works perfectly if I directly wire up the event listener to the specific control. However as it can be loaded by ajax, can appear multiple times, and I don't know the id's in advance; I really want to wire it up at the document level using something akin to the following:
  $(document).on("invalid", ".testclass", function (evt) {
    //Do stuff
  });

But when invalid this does not get hit (it is invalid and the default message shows etc). However the input event, if wired up the same way is hit as expected. I just can't see what I'm doing wrong. I've included a fiddle for anyone who wants to see it.
https://jsfiddle.net/thnderchild/dzm1sgvc/13/

A: Okay, so the answer I finally found was that the invalid event simply doesn't bubble, so a global event handler never receives the event.
I was under the impression all events bubbled up.
Which jQuery events do not bubble?
So if we use this as a control which is added to the dom via ajax - we have to bind/rebind the event.

Learn how to map a network drive to the Master Page Gallery so that you can use Design Manager to upload design files in SharePoint. You can create a visual design for your website by using any web design tool or HTML editor, and then use Design Manager to import the design into SharePoint. To do this, you have to make sure that the design tool stores its files in your site's Master Page Gallery, which is where SharePoint expects to find the files. We recommend that you map a network drive to the Master Page Gallery to make it easier to save files in the correct location.
First, find the location of the Master Page Gallery.
Important: If your site is hosted in SharePoint Online, when you sign in to the site by using your Office 365 credentials, make sure that you select the Keep me signed in check box. For more information, see How to configure and to troubleshoot mapped network drives that connect to SharePoint Online sites in Office 365 for enterprises.
In the numbered list, select Upload Design Files.
The Design Manager: Upload Design Files page contains the location of the Master Page Gallery. The location probably ends in /_catalogs/masterpage/. This is the location to which you will map a network drive.
Make a note of the location of the Master Page Gallery, or copy it to the Clipboard.

Q: IAP with Google Identity Platform throws "Failed to fetch the discovery document from issuer" I have activated Identity Aware Proxy on a GCP Load Balancer and configured it to authenticate the users against my OIDC Identity Provider (Auth0) through Google Identity Platform with a default login page hosted on Cloud Run.
When I browse my application I got redirected to the login page but then this happens:

although the document is available and publicly reachable at that URL:

I followed GCP documentation step by step and cannot find any troubleshooting guide. Any thoughts?
Thanks

A: Ok, solved.
The problem was I had configured my Google Identity Platform OIDC Provider with the full metadata document URL

while only the issuer base URL was expected

Newbie mistake, I know, but the error message is misleading, IMO, because it reports the URL where the document actually is. If the returned message had been
Failed to fetch the discovery document from issuer: https://REDACTED.eu.auth0.com/.well-known/openid-configuration/.well-known/openid-configuration

the misconfiguration would have been immediately apparent.

Pachelbel Being Goofy
I've often heard (and hoped it to be true) that Reformation-era and post-Reformation-era music saw no distinction between the solemn and the exuberant. The music laughed when it talked about death and bubbled and joked when it talked about repentance. Occasionally I've had a glimpse of that in recordings (particular examples are McCreesh's recording of Praetorius' Kyrie from Polyhymnia Caducaetrix or Bach's Gottes Zeit with Gardiner). This seems particularly prevalent in the Lutheran tradition, the one that famously took a German love song and out of it gave us the hymn tune that we know sing "O Sacred Head Now Wounded" to.
But sometimes I question that as a sort of Chestertonian exaggeration. It's just too good to be true. After all, you listen to recordings of a great deal of this Renaissance or early Baroque music, and it just doesn't strike one as all that fun, or funny, or exuberant, or jolly. I look at the music itself and see the potential for a radically different interpretation, one that stresses the comic and maybe even comical, but it certainly isn't commercially recorded that way very often. (The market couldn't handle picturing the Reformers as smiling singer dudes.)
And then sometimes I'll stumble upon music whose downright goofiness is just too overwhelming to ignore. This time, interestingly, the music I found is almost impossible to find recorded, even though it is by Johann Pachelbel, the same who composed the famous Canon in D. He wrote for organ a set of partitas on various hymn tunes, including hymn tunes we still sing ("O Sacred Head," "At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing," "What E'er My God Ordains Is Right," and even Psalm 42, "As the Hart, About to Falter").
First, this music is pretty easily sight-readable and is clearly designed to fit the hand in such a way as to make going fast really easy. But, more than that, it's just impossible not to laugh at some of this music, and not just because it sounds funny to our ears. To any ears, I'd say, taking a tune you know well and doing this and that with it is just funny. But some of the decisions Pachelbel makes are just horrid: he takes a quite cheerful major-key tune and tries creating a chromatic lament out of it. The result is disaster. Never have I run across a pre-19th century composer using chromaticism in this major-key sort of way (not that chromaticism doesn't appear in the major key, but he's clearly employing the chromaticism of pathetic lament, which to my knowledge is quite peculiar in this context). But Pachelbel was a smart guy. He must have known that the disparate genres came into conflict and produced some sort of humorous effect. You don't just throw in a slow chromatic counterpoint underneath a fast-paced tune and expect the whole thing to come off with a straight face.
All these partitas run along similar lines. Exactly when they start donning their most serious garb, they become goofiest. And perhaps this is exactly why this music hasn't been recorded (widely, at least): the market insists old music must be either garish and crude (like the Newberry Consort) or as solemn as a coffin (Tallis Scholars, Oxford Camerata, basically all Baroque organists). But the two can't coexist. The market is, you might say, functionally Roman Catholic when it comes to Protestant music: life is divided between the profane and hyper-sexualized on one side and the sacred and hyper-spiritualized on the other.
I have no doubt that, had I lived at the turn of the 16th to the 17th century, I would have been a prude. I would have been scandalized by all the composers I now idolized. But I hope I would have had the good sense to recognize that they were not, so to speak, marrying foreign wives and converting to Baal (Ezra 9), but were in fact asking their wives to convert and then marrying them (Deut. 21:10-14). And I hope I'm being objective and not prudish when I say that I can be in no way so generous in describing Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Hillsong, and the rest.
Eco Describes Organum
Posted on September 7, 2013 by John Richard Ahern
Eco in The Name of the Rose describes near the end the monks singing Sederunt principes in organum, probably much like this example here.
"On the first syllable, a slow and solemn chorus began, dozens and dozens of voices, whose bass sound filled the naves and floated over our heads and yet seemed to rise from the heart of the earth. Nor did it break off, because as other voices began to weave, over that deep and continuing line, a series of vocalises and melismas, it—telluric—continued to dominate and did not cease for the whole time that it took a speaker to repeat twelve 'Ave Maria's in a slow and cadenced voice.And as if released from every fear by the confidence that the prolonged syllable, allegory of the duration of eternity, gave to those praying, the other voices (and especially the novices') on that rock-solid base raised cusps, columns, pinnacles of liquescent and underscored numae. [Not sure they would still be in use, but I don't know for certain.] …Until that Neptunian roiling of a single note seemed overcome, or at least convinced and enfolded, by the rejoicing hallelujahs of those who opposed it, and all dissolved on a majestic and perfect chord and on a resupine neuma.
"Once the 'sederunt' had been uttered with a kind of stubborn difficulty, the 'principes' rose in the air with grand and seaphic calm. …Now the choir was festively chanting the 'Adiuva me,' whose bright a swelled happily through the church, and even the u did not seem grim as that in 'sederunt,' but full of holy vigor."
Particularly incisive on Eco's part, I think, is how this music is so dynamically clever. The drama of the music is simply the word. How exciting the word "adiuva" can be, when elongated! The vowels themselves portray some sort of story arc. The phrase sederunt principes will go from loud (e) to soft (u) to brighter (i) back to loud (e) and, as he says, the second a will be quite the dramatic surprise in adiuva.
Why I'm Encouraged by Pop Music Trends
Posted on August 29, 2013 by John Richard Ahern
An acquaintance of mine, a semi-well-known actress, apparently ran into Kanye West and talked with him for a bit. (I feel famous.) He told her that his latest big project is coming up with a way to release a song along with all the tracks and mixing that went into it. In other words, he wants to change the music scene so that whenever any artist releases a song, all the tracks are released as well and can be brought up in a sequencer. You, the recipient, can then perform a musical lobotomy on the song: you can take out Kanye's voice and put your own in, or change one of his loops, or put in your own percussion. Or you can just mess around with plug-ins and make it all sound like the chipmunks going hip-hop. And that's just an anecdote—I hear and see this idea gaining ground all over the place and have even seen a few examples. Everyone's becoming a producer these days.
Over on the other side of the popular music world, it seems these days like everyone is wearing a vest, plaid, learning guitar, and singing with a raspy voice. Many people lament this, that somehow alternative and folk rock is turning into something anyone can do. Oh, and, if you didn't catch it, that is a bad thing. Somehow the fact that Mumford & Sons can be reproduced by any group of four guys with some musical talent is a detriment to them.
I think not. What we're seeing is the collapse of a system of music that will, after its demise, be considered probably the most bizarre ever. It's a sort of game: whereas all your ancestors enjoyed music by actually doing it, you enjoy music by listening to other people doing it. Whereas popular music used to be a communal activity that everyone engaged in, popular music is now anything but popular: it's utterly professionalized. The melodies are so unsingable even the singers need autotune and only the talented perform karaoke. So we listen to other "talented" people perform and think that we're enjoying music ourselves through them.
All that is ending. To borrow Marxist language, we have alienated the human impulse to music from ourselves, but that is not a tenable situation in the long run. It's like putting a cap on a pressure-filled pipe, and it must burst. Sooner or later, we'll just decide to stop listening to other people enjoy music and we'll start to actually enjoy it ourselves. And then I think we'll realize just how bizarre we were for about 60 or 70 years there in the 20th century.
So, for my money, Miley Cyrus' performance was encouraging. Kanye West is encouraging. Everyone becoming the next Mumford is encouraging. We're seeing the old way of doing popular music die away (some say twerking, some say death throes…) and an older way resume. Increasingly, humans are becoming musicians. They're butting in on the musical act, because the musical act is an impulse God put in us. And that doesn't mean that there won't always be those who are better poets or better musicians than the rest, but what a difference it will make to have an audience of musicians to listen to them.
Learning Bach Experiment
"As an organist and keyboard player, Bach had studied everything he could lay his hands on, from very old repertories—his library eventually contained three copies of Elias Nicolaus Ammerbach's Orgel oder Instrument Tabulatur of 1571 and a manuscript copy of Frescobaldi's Fiori musicali—to works of German, French, and Italian masters from the previous generation, to compositions by his own contemporaries." Christoph Wolff, Bach: The Learned Musician
Lady Gaga Wisdom
"Don't spoon feed me the Beatles and Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and Elton John and not expect me to turn out this way."
Okay, we won't. But here is a mind-blowing and phenomenal The Lady Is a Tramp, lest you thought she wasn't a real musician. (I mean, it's easy to out-perform Tony Bennett, but the point is, between the two of them, she really can sing jazz.)
Bach's Organ Stops
"To all this was added the peculiar manner in which he combined the different stops of the organ with each other, or his mode of registration. It was so uncommon that many organ builders and organists were frightened when they saw him draw the stops. They believed that such a combination of stops could never sound well, but were much surprised when they afterwards perceived that the organ sounded best just so, and had now something peculiar and uncommon, which never could be produced by their mode of registration." Forkel, in Bach: the Learned Musician, Christoph Wolff.
Enough Weepy Choir Music
Posted on June 27, 2013 by John Richard Ahern
You know, I can't tell you how excited I get hearing a newly composed sacred choral composition hot off the press, written in the slow, modal style of Pärt or MacMillan or Whitacre. Fast, upbeat, cheerful music with texture and forceful rhythm and gripping harmony—it just doesn't fit Christian texts, you know?
It was great the first time Pärt did it, but it makes me wonder, what happens when someone commissions a sacred song with more than one verse of the Bible in it? Given how long it takes Whitacre to get through one verse, I'd need some popcorn. Imagine what would happen if Whitacre decided to set three verses of Paul from Romans 5. I might have to bring a little ethanol eco-friendly stove with French press, a "shade-grown, ethically-produced third-world roast", and maybe a tent and sleeping-bag too, just to keep me going. I don't know, over the course of four verses, what emotional turmoil I'd be in by the end or how many Kleenex boxes would be trashed. If he ever set five verses, why, undoubtedly the length would justify his choir unionizing. Maybe in between certain teary-eyed pan-diatonic chords he could allow for lunch and bathroom breaks.
But, hey, if composers of sacred texts decide to cheer up any time soon, maybe we could actually not make it sound like the world has just experienced nuclear war. Maybe even get through one verse of the Bible in a record-breaking 15 seconds of music and be upbeat about it too. But, hm, I think you have to be a reform Jew to compose with that much regard for the text. It's unlikely reformed Christians or classical Protestants would ever think to be text-centered and joyful in their music.

HOME > NEWS > THE COMMUNITY IS A FRIEND TO THE ELDERLY IN CUBA, IN THE TIME OF THE PANDEMIC
The Community is a friend to the elderly in Cuba, in the time of the pandemic
September 6 2021 - SANTIAGO DE CUBA, CUBA
CubaCovid-19
"The Community has flourished in the pandemic" are the words of Isabel, an 80-year-old woman and member of the "Long live the elderly" movement in Santiago de Cuba.
A Community of Sant'Egidio lives in this beautiful seaside city, about 900 km from the capital. It is the second largest city in the south- eastern side of the island
The city had important European influences, Spanish but also French and Italian, that left signs in its culture and architecture.
It was also a gateway for African slaves employed in harvesting and refining cane sugar. Indeed, it is the 'blackest' city, i.e. with the highest density of people from the African continent.
Here Sant'Egidio has set up the "Long live elderly" programme. The young people of Sant'Egidio are making a difference in various neighbourhoods - Maceo, Cicharrones, Flores and Martí - and are succeeding in giving hope back to many people.
Local authorities and academics also collaborate in the programme, and the Medicine Faculty has set up a Chair in "Long Live Elderly" , giving students the chance to do an internship and monitor more than 200 elderly people living alone..
In the time of the pandemic, while respecting the necessary restrictions and the 1 p.m. curfew, the Community intensified its activities. Even prayer and meetings in small groups have never stopped. Some young people have known the Gospel through their encounter with the Community. And there was a celebration with some young people who were baptised by Father Frederic Comalat after catechesis with the Community.

Facebook, without a doubt, is the most used social networking service worldwide. Almost everyone uses Facebook nowadays.
The fact is, we are all Facebook addicts – in a way. Wherever we go, Facebook is there no matter what. If you've something to do, there's no harm surfing Facebook. And when you've nothing to do, Facebook is the boredom relief.
The thing is… things could be really fun on Facebook. So, how can you not use it right?
So today, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna expose to you… how I use Facebook.
It starts by logging into my Facebook account.
Enter the account email and password. Easy peasy.
Once logged in, first thing to do is to check the new notifications.
Friend requests, private messages and notifications – just click to see updates and what's happening around.
Then, write an interesting statement on my Facebook wall.
After that, like a couple of status updates, links or any photos from friends.
Whatever it is, just like it – Facebook style!
When new notification comes in, reply to comments.
If there's extra time, check out friends' birthdays and casually wish them as if I remembered.
Adrian Bieber must be touched by my birthday wish. I'm such a great friend that I actually remembered and took that effort to wish him… on Facebook. Yay?
I like that big lizard on the page cover. Rawr!
Scroll down and read new comments, if there's any.
Okay no comments. Just some "likes". I iz sad.
Then, update timeline with the latest blog entry from kenwooi.com.
I'm always curious – let's say… if I don't update the Facebook page, will anyone even notice the new blog update?
Anyway, once in a while… spot profiles of hot babes.
Hey, spotted one! She's cute, and oh wow… nice asset! Michelle QQ, she is!
Click on her name and check out her profile.
Should I add her as friend first? No wait, that sounds desperate and not gentlemanly.
Eh hold on, this is too much exposure on my Facebook activities! Oh no!
I guess it's enough already. So, this is pretty much how I use Facebook. Kthxbai!
Mum, You Know I Love You Right?
What the heck did I just read… oh, cleavage!
You more active in Twitter aren't you?
You're a Facebook addict, are you? You missed out one – share video clips with friends, the one starring Ken Wooi… LOL!!!
I am a facebook addict..
but due to work load i hardly FBing..
and now I enjoy writing my blog…..
didn't you saw one of the picture on the hot babe's profile? She was with other boy. So were you jealous? Just kidding.
Not a fan of FB. Prefer Twitter anytime. Haha!!
