What is the Best for NYC Challenge?
The Best for NYC Challenge is an online impact assessment that helps businesses see how they perform on their worker, community, and environmental practices. It is the tool that is offered through the Best for NYC campaign, which supports businesses in making positive changes to their business practices throughout New York City.
How long does the Challenge take?
Approximately 45 minutes for most small businesses, and we strongly encourage that you estimate your answers the first time through.
The time involved largely depends on the size, age, and complexity (number of operating locations) of your company. For your convenience the assessment can be saved and revisited at any time to allow for easy access.
Does it cost anything to complete the Challenge?
No, the Challenge is a free business intelligence tool available to all businesses.
The Challenge contains questions that apply to all businesses, regardless of your business size (number of employees) or sector. You will view questions that are tailored to the size and type (sector) of your business when you register for the Challenge. Most businesses that complete the Challenge are businesses that have between 0 and 50 employees, but it is built for businesses with any number of employees.
Who developed the standards contained in the Challenge?
The standards in the Challenge are created and revised by the Standards Advisory Council (SAC), a group of independent experts in business.
The Challenge also goes through a private and public testing period in which feedback is collected and integrated into its final versions. Expert working groups are convened in order to explore specific issues more closely in an objective manner. The Challenge is updated every two years in order to accommodate new and innovative practices, respond to the feedback of its users, and to more accurately assess the impact of all types of businesses.
Who in our company should complete the Challenge?
Anyone that is interested, regardless of their title or tenure with the company.
We recommend appointing one person as a lead; this individual typically completes a first draft of the Challenge and then convenes a supporting team to assist. The most common types of individuals involved with the Challenge include CEOs, CFOs, HR Managers, COOs, Associates, Interns.
What will I need to prepare before completing the Challenge?
Company's financials. It may be helpful to have either a Profit & Loss Statement or your accounting system (e.g. QuickBooks) open.
Vendor ledger with amount spent in the 12 months. This will help you answer many questions related to your suppliers.
Employee roster. This will help you answer many questions related to your workers.
You can also estimate your responses and return to questions with relevant documents or materials as needed.
How can I access services or support to make improvements on my score?
Best for NYC includes a partnership of business service organizations that can help you consider ways to take action based on your business assessment and access other tools to support your business and workforce. Check out our Resources & Events page for more information.
Who sees my answers to questions in the Challenge?
Your data is kept confidential when you answer questions in the Best for NYC Challenge. Individual answers from businesses are never shared publicly.
Is the Best for NYC Challenge part of a competition?
The Best for NYC Challenge is a free business intelligence tool that helps businesses to "measure what matters" about their business practices. It exists to support businesses in making positive changes to their worker, community, and environmental practices. While business owners can view their performance measured against the performance of other businesses who have completed the assessment, the Challenge is part of a collaborative campaign that builds a community of out of people using business as a force for good in New York City.
Who is behind the Best for NYC Campaign?
Best for NYC is run as a collaboration between the nonprofit B Lab and the City of New York. It is part of a movement of other national and global campaigns that are supporting businesses in making positive changes to their business practices.
What is a B Corporation? And how do we become one?
Certified B Corporations (B Corps) are businesses that are leading the way in using business as a force for good. B Corp is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to milk. Unlike traditional businesses, B Corps meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Completing the Challenge is the first step to becoming a B Corp, because the questions in the Challenge are taken from the full assessment that businesses complete when certifying as a B Corp. Learn more about the full process here.
Today there is a growing community of more than 1,900 Certified B Corps from 40 countries and over 140 industries working together toward 1 unifying goal: to redefine success in business.
How can I access services or support to make improvements to my business?
Best for NYC works alongside a partnership of business service organizations that can help you consider ways to take action based on your business assessment and access other tools to support your business and workforce. Check out our Resources & Events page for more information.


INTENDED USE: Pyrolytic thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon waste with the recovery of pyrolysis gas, liquid fuel, and dry residue (carbon black).
— Fuel oil residue, lubricating and heavy oils.
The process is based on low-temperature pyrolysis principle, involving the use of heat to thermally decompose hydrocarbon-based material in the condition of oxygen deficit.
Paste and solid waste is fed by screw conveyor from the hopper.
Liquid waste is fed from the receiver tank by the pump.
2. The pyrolysis chamber is heated to the operating temperature by the mixed fuel burner installed in furnace.
3. The pressure in the chamber is controlled by temperature rise rate.
4. Boiler fuel or diesel oil is used for the plant startup. Fuel is self-fed from fuel tank to the burner.
6. The beginning of the decomposition process is determined by the heat exchanger temperature rise to the set value.
7. After process stabilizing the main burner capacity is lowered and heating is carried out by booster burners operating on pyrolysis gas.
8. Vapor and gas mix from pyrolysis chamber is fed to the condensation system through gas filter.
10. The further cooling of the mixture is carried out in the heat exchanger by recirculation.
11. Water is cooled in air cooler or in chiller (depending on the operating conditions and feedstock composition).
12. Extension tank is installed in the line for the compensation of the volume fluctuations of chilled water.
13. Vapor-gas mix then enters separator where it is separated to liquid and gas phases.
=> LIQUID FUEL is drained to receiver tank and from there to the fuel tank or to the storage.
=> GAS is cleaned from sour components and is fed to the burners.
14. DRY RESIDUE is discharged by screw conveyor from the top of the reactor to the air tight hopper, where it cools and further to the storage bin, all the way without oxygen access.

Notwithstanding the achievements, the Royal Audit Authority (RAA) noted certain shortcomings and deficiencies in the administration of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital (JDWNRH), Thimphu.
According to the RAA's Performance and Audit Report (PAR) 2014 – 2015, the average waiting time for patients in medical Out Patient Department (OPD) is observed at an hour and 38 minutes while patients in general OPD are made to wait over 45 minutes. This is in direct contrast to standard 30 minutes waiting time for the patients mentioned in general medical guidelines.
The report further mentioned that some patients are made to wait in queue for more than two hours.
The study conducted by RAA had also found out that doctors on-duty in medical OPD chambers arrive late and leave as early as two hours before their scheduled time. "The erratic arrival and exit time of the doctors were attributed to multiple tasks assigned to the doctors on-duty, including administrative works," the report states.
It mentioned in the report the doctors' were also called for other services when they were engaged in OPD chambers, thereby affecting smooth delivery of consultation services and increasing the waiting time for the OPD patients.
Talking to The Journalist, Sangay Chhenzom, 25, said that every time she visits hospital to consult her doctor, she has to wait for almost half a day. "I have been diagnosed with a cardiac problem and long futile waits make me frustrated, and that leads to increasing heart beats," she said.
Similarly, Tshering, a patient suffering from diabetic, said that it is very difficult for him wait for hours, especially after fasting for the whole night and waiting for hours to get sugar or blood tests.
"For a diabetic patient, it is very difficult to stay without eating for long hours as sugar level drops down, and when it does, it causes fatigue," said Tshering.
A civil servant, Deki, said that it is not only in JDWNRH that patients have to wait for hours. "The case is similar in almost all the hospitals in Bhutan. And it is even more disheartening to see doctors misusing their authorities and being biased at treating patients. Many a times, I have seen doctors attending the patients whom they know or who are related to higher officials leaving behind the poor ones outside their chambers in pains," she said.
Considering these lapses of JDWNRH, RAA made recommendation with an aim to enhance greater accountability, improved decision-making and efficiency in the delivery of healthcare services in the country.
RAA recommended that JDWNRH should institute proper control system to provide transparent, effective and faster delivery of health services and also to develop strategies to reduce waiting time in the OPD and diagnosis services.
The report also states that JDWNRH should conduct proper monitoring and evaluation of effective working hours of doctors and number of consultations provided by them.
Meanwhile, RAA had carried out the study with an objective to ascertain the turnaround time, the adequacy and optimal utilization of human resource and equipment and also to assess the existence and effectiveness of supervision and monitoring mechanism in delivery of OPD services.

Wow! Some pretty negative descriptions of what I feel to be a fascinating western astrological sign. I'm a gemini woman, born on the cusp (kind of) of taurus, Snake in Chinese astrology. Definitely not flighty (married since 1975, living with him since 1972), very honest, forthright, caring, empathetic, talented, never tricky.
Some of you must have met some younger souled Geminis, for sure!
I will put my all into something if I want it. But, it has to be something rewarding. Yes, we have some bad traits, but what sign doesn't. In all, we are ppl. who love hard and will give you the world if we can. BUT, never cross us. It's a toss up as far a forgiveness. It depends how bad the hurt is/was.
I do beleive Scorpio's have simular traits. They take things to another level. Like I said once, they are great as friends, never as lovers. When u hurt one of them, they take it to a CIA level to hurt you back.
GetSmart…I couldn't agree with you more. Personally I have a hard time letting go of something when someone has done something horrible to me or stabbed me in the back. On the other hand I never forget when someone has been kind to me.
-Sincerely, The dude with the water jug.
Gemini people have more then one personality, true. Everyone does.
Gemini perople are very creative. Very wise in many ways.
We, like everyone make mistakes.
We are honest, true to people we care about and love.
Gemini people love many intrest. We don't forget what is important to us and the ones we love.
We will go out of our way to prove it. We care deeply, and love just as deep.
Our thinking is even deeper. We make good friends, because we understand many things.
We can put ourselves in others place. We care.
We like loyality, honestly, dependabality, that is very important.
We find creative ways to make it fun for everyone.
Example, with your children , playing a singing game with words.
creating a game out of paper and pencil for your child's class.
We understand a lot, yet, there is more to learn.
Gemini's understand the mind. Most of it.
We understand people. Find a gemini and you found a friend.
One thing about Gemini's you have to understand, we have dual personalities. We have a masculine side and feminine side. Up front, you are kind of dealing with two people, but they are one in the same. As a Gemini, we try to blend both personalities into one, but at times it is hard. At the end of the day we are passive aggressive, so it takes a special and patient person to really get us. To the ones who don't get us, that is where trouble lies. We are not that hard to figure out LOL.
We need our independence and freedom. However, we do know where home is and always go back to the ones we love. You don't have to smother us to show you care.
Even though we have lots of acquaintances, there are very few we will do anything for. We are socialable, but at the same time we need space and alone time to recharge the batteries.
Gem's are always in search of that "one" person that will compliment and complete us.
The reason we come across as "cold" is because we are more logical than emotional. Are hearts are in our heads (which is backwards). With Gemini's it's the "mental" aspect of things that attract and keep us. Don't beat us down with B.S. because we can immediately pick up on that and we will shut down and try to beat you to the punch or just call you out on it and discard you like yesterday's trash.
We are fickle/flaky because we see life as a buffet, wanting to try a little bit of everything to see what we like and don't like. With all of the options, it's hard to pick just one.
Gemini's are CONSTANTLY in their heads. Constantly. Even when we are sleep, are minds are going, it never shuts off, ever. At times, we tend to overthink and analyze things. The reason we do that is to see the outcomes of situations (whether good or bad), so we can be prepared to deal with them.
Superficial, yes we are to a degree. The younger we are, the more it stands out. When I was younger, when I would date, I would look at only the outside, and if I liked it, I wanted to know more. Now, that has changed…still somewhat superficial, but looking at more deeper qualities/potential. Point is that what we see on the outside, determines if we want to go further. That is a gift and a curse. It can be blinding because we are only scratching the surface and not looking further, so details can be missed. But that is because if it doesn't interest us, we don't care.
We always get what we want because we know the right things to say and/or do to get it. Once we set our eyes on the prize, that will give us the drive we need to obtain it. Gemini's are very charming.
Gemini's are childlike (I think our zodiac age is either 14 or 21), so we never really "grow up"….we will always be a toys r us kid! We do mature and grow up, don't misunderstand, but there will always be this childlike, spontaneous trait there, no matter how old we get.
We can relate easily to people, even ones we don't know. We are the people you can bounce ideas off of easily, share crazy thoughts (even taboo ones) and talk to about anything. We make people feel at ease and actually can be saviors at awkward moments in group settings. That is why we are the life of the parties.
Bedroom action is NEVER boring with a Gemini. NEVER EVER EVER. We will try a lot of things once (I have my boundaries though lol). We like talking even in the bedroom (especially if it's hot) because it's a mental stimulation for us and turn on. We like racy texts/e-mails, cute texts/e-mails. Keyword w/ Gemini: MENTAL. If you can tap into the brain with a Gemini, you will never go wrong.
Gemini's never hold grudges and forgive easily. If a Gemini refuses to speak with or have any dealings with you…and you did something wrong, that means you REALLY messed up.
We are impatient, however we are patient. We curb our impatience when it comes to people we love or something we want that we are waiting for.
gemini are nice pple God created us to b wat we are.we did,nt create our self.the important thing is u try to understand us.every one has weakness and pls judge us not.
I've never met a Gemini in my entire life.
Oh, goodness. I think it's safe to say that we are the most fickle of signs. I like what someone said about us seeing life as a buffet, and that we want to try a little bit of everything. The same person said that we don't delve into things that do not catch our initial attention. I know that for me, I look for people with interesting faces, not neccissarily attractive ones. I love a good mystery, whether it be in novels, movies, or in the people I meet. I am very stubborn. My values and beliefs are always changing because I am easily influenced. And yes, as someone mentioned, I am constantly in my head. Always. I can never stop thinking, and never stop over thinking, over analyzing. It's hard for me to accept that there doesn't have to be a reason for everything.
I see myself as beautiful, but I easily get bogged down when even one person (even if they don't matter to me) says that I'm ugly or fat. If someone spoon-feeds me, I get annoyed; I don't like my intellgence insulted. I want to be adored, and at the same time, I want to be left alone. I want people to wonder about me, but I also want to talk about myself, because I want to be fully understood and appreciated. My persona changes depending on who I am around and what I feel about them. I find it difficult to stay faithful in a relationship, because, as was previously stated, the world is my buffet, and I want to try everything it has to offer. And at the same time, I want to be in a beautiful, long-lasting relationship. The trouble is that I get bored and want to explore some more.
So yes, I tend to cheat. I don't see it as wrong, which is considered even more wrong. As far as I'm concerned, if I AM in a relationship with someone, that means that I Want that kind of comitment. So if I cheat, the person I cheated with means nothing more than wanting to experience them. The person I am in a relationship with will be the only one that matters at the end of the day, and for me, that is enough. The same would apply to my lover; if he wanted to go try out other women, I would be fine with that, so long as I was the one he was coming home to. I think that this is my ideal relationship. An open one. With full trust and respect. I would be able to fickle without being conflicted. Maybe I will grow out of it. I don't know. I only know that this is the way that I am. I am a Gemini, 19 years old. And I am very proud of it, even in the worst of times.

The Jallikattu row ended in Chennai amid violence in various parts of Tamil Nadu. WION's correspondent Ramesh Ramachandran who was reporting live from Marina beach - the epicenter of the agitation - was caught in the crossfire several times.
The Tamil Nadu police repeatedly targeted WION correspondent Ramesh Ramachandran, not allowing him to report on events unfolding at Marina beach even though he had permission from the police. As the event was being covered live, Tamil Nadu cops manhandled Ramesh Ramachandran which resulted in an argument and amid the chaos WION's OB cable was damaged and the crew was forced to push back from the actual spot.
It did not end there, as the police began hitting the crowd with batons in the afternoon and the crowd retaliated by pelting stones, the Tamil Nadu police forced Ramesh Ramachandran to rush back to the van and prevented the WION crew from shooting the chaotic scenes at Marina beach. Ramesh Ramachandran sustained injuries himself as the police were hitting agitators. WION's OB van was smashed with both driver and engineer sustaining injuries.
Ramesh said the Tamil Nadu police mercilessly lathicharged the crowd and held the media responsible for the situation which quickly went out of hand. In fact, the Tamil Nadu police was criticised by actor Kamal Hassan in a series of tweets as he sought to know why police took action when the students were peacefully awaiting the decision the Tamil Nadu assembly on the matter. Many protestors stayed put despite police action and accused the cops of unnecessarily using force on a peaceful agitation.

Allegra at The Stratford
Beautiful fine-dining setting in the heart of Stratford by Danish designer Space Copenhagen.
Allegra is the signature restaurant of the new The Stratford Hotel, also designed by Space Copenhagen. The Danish duo intended to create a very simple, elegant and clean Scandinavian setting, to showcase Chef Patrick Powell's innovative modern European cuisine.
The almost monochromatic palette of finishes and textures of the interior meant that the lighting design had to play a key role in providing the required warm, soft and visually comfortable ambiance – for both lunch and dinner service.
As a result, Light IQ proposed a system of white-tuneable and dim-to-warm LED sources that were integrated into the architecture and interior design. The various lighting layers used to achieve this comprise simple lighting details such as coves, display lighting to shelving, gentle uplighting wash to curtains and screens and a soft glow under the seating areas, whilst discreet accents to the tables are provided by dim-to-warm downlights.
The majority of the installation changes colour temperature, from 2700K at lunchtime – when the interior of the restaurant is vastly flooded with natural light, to 2400K and 2200K after sunset. This maximises the guest experience, as the restaurant looks quite distinct during these two settings.
The design style and ethos of Space Copenhagen called for the most discreet lighting details and minimum disruptions to the ceiling, which meant that all lighting had to be carefully integrated in the furniture, walls and ceiling construction. The minimum number of downlights was proposed to accent each table and thus retaining a visually clean ceiling, as much as possible.
A rich layer of decorative lighting was naturally introduced to enhance the space and interior design, as well as to provide ambient lighting. All the sources are also fitted with dim-to warm sources that contribute to the transformation of the space throughout the day and into the night.

In the past, paying and collecting rent was stressful. Tenants with roommates would have to coordinate with each other to submit a single check, hunt for stamps, and then hope their payment didn't get lost in the mail. Landlords would hope to receive checks on time, but still end up taking endless trips to the bank.
With Tellus, paying and collecting rent is effortless. Tenants can choose to pay with one tap, or they can set up AutoPay and never be late. Tenants with roommates can split the rent through Tellus, with each roommate paying their share of the rent directly to their landlord. All rent money is deposited directly into the landlord's bank account. No more trips to the bank.
If tenants choose to set up and use their bank accounts, there is no charge for paying rent. If they choose to use a credit card, there is a small surcharge from the credit card company. Collecting rent and other payments is always free.
For tenants who prefer writing checks, landlords and property managers can still use Tellus to mark rent as collected by taking a picture of the check and storing the file with other documents.
If a tenant has not set up AutoPay, Tellus sends reminders about when rent is due to encourage them to pay on time. Once rent is paid, we send notifications to the landlord so that they know when it was paid and when they will see it in their bank account.
We accept payments with bank accounts, credit or debit cards, Alipay, and WeChat Pay.
No one wants to be late. Tellus makes every effort to encourage tenants to pay on time. We send reminders, we calculate the amount of time a bank transfer will take, and we encourage tenants to set up AutoPay—all so that landlords can receive rent on time. Despite everyone's best efforts, late payments can still happen. We want to be as upfront as possible about applicable late fees and when they take effect.
Depending on your state, there are different requirements for late fees. If a late fee will be applied through Tellus, it will already be in the lease agreement signed by both the tenant and the landlord. All parties should understand when a late fee is applied and if there is a grace period.
If the landlord chooses, late fees will be applied automatically each time rent is not received by the due date. Automating late fees makes it more of a policy and less of a personal decision. However, Tellus does allow landlords the option to waive late fees in the case of exceptional circumstances.
Most landlords will choose to collect a security deposit along with first month's rent to protect themselves against any damages a tenant may cause. The security deposit is not designed to pay for normal wear and tear on the unit, but is meant to go toward specific damages. The amount collected and any holding requirements vary depending upon the state. Tellus ensures all parties understand the amount to be collected by writing it into the lease agreement.
Typically, landlords and tenants will conduct a walk-through prior to move-in to note any already existing damages. Tellus recommends taking pictures of the unit and storing them as an album in the app to reference later for the move-out inspection. All photos and notes are time-stamped and backed up to the Cloud, so everyone is held accountable.
When setting up the lease, Tellus will give landlords the option of collecting a deposit along with first month's rent. We will notify tenants of the exact amount to be withdrawn from their bank accounts seven days in advance.
Landlords should be sure to check their state's holding requirements along with deadlines for returning the security deposit after move-out.
In the past, tenants who made approved changes to a unit had to wait for reimbursement until their next rent check. Now, it's simple to pay them immediately through Tellus. This feature also allows for better record keeping for landlords and managers, since each instance of approving a reimbursement request records it automatically as an expense in the Ledger.
Reimbursement requests between landlords and tenants are submitted through Tellus Home Chat. Tenants will use this feature if they use their own money to make significant, lasting improvements to the property, such as replacing broken fixtures, updating an old paint job, hanging a shelf, or updating appliances. Landlords and managers have the option to either approve or deny these requests. We encourage tenants to discuss changes with their landlords before investing significant time and resources.
Tellus accepts payments with bank accounts, credit or debit cards, Alipay, and WeChat Pay.
Paying and collecting rent with a bank account is always free. It takes 3-5 business days for the funds to transfer. Tellus will send tenants reminders to pay rent several days before it is due so that landlords will receive it on time.
Paying with credit or debit cards is a service that incurs a 3% surcharge from the payment network. Payment with cards is instantaneous.
Payment with WeChat Pay and Alipay is free, provided there are sufficient funds in the user's accounts.
Traditionally, tenants would pay rent with checks, cash, or a direct bank deposit. Unfortunately, each of these methods comes with major risks for landlords.
In cities like San Francisco, accepting a rent check from someone not on your lease means they are automatically a subtenant. You won't have screened them. You may have no idea who they are. But now they are legally on your lease (and most likely living in your rental) because of one check.
Accepting rent through Tellus eliminates this possibility. Only tenants on your lease can send you rent payments. Since funds will be deposited into your bank account automatically, you can say goodbye to all those trips to the bank.
Landlords who accept rent in cash open themselves up to risky situations. In extreme cases, tenants may be avoiding the law. In more common cases, holding a significant amount of cash on the premises carries the risk of theft or confrontation during payment. Landlords must remember to provide receipts for cash payments; forgetting to do this could lead to disputes about how much rent was actually paid.
Tellus ensures privacy and security with rent collection. We track it for you so that everyone keeps a record.
Experienced landlords will tell you that blocking partial payments is an important feature. If you are trying to evict a tenant in certain states, accepting a partial rent payment can delay or even halt the eviction proceedings, and you must begin again the following month. If partial payments are accepted (even if they are a mere fraction of the monthly rent), the landlord stands to lose thousands of dollars in rent money.
Tellus gives you the ability to block partial payments. This way, if you need to evict a tenant for failure to pay rent, you have that option.

Birding Vancouver Island
Vancouver Island is in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Canada. It is part of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The island is 460 kilometres (290 mi) in length, 100 kilometres (62 mi) in width at its widest point, and 32,134 km2 (12,407 sq mi) in area. It is the largest island on the West Coast of North America. This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.The Vancouver Island Ranges run most of the length of the island, dividing it into a wet and rugged west coast and a drier, more rolling east coast. The highest point in these ranges and on the island is the Golden Hinde, at 2,195 metres (7,201 ft). Located near the centre of Vancouver Island in 2,500 square kilometres (965 sq mi) Strathcona Provincial Park, it is part of a group of peaks that include the only glaciers on the island, the largest of which is the Comox Glacier. The west coast shoreline is rugged and in many places mountainous, characterized by its many fjords, bays, and inlets. The interior of the island has many lakes (Kennedy Lake, north of Ucluelet, is the largest) and rivers. There are a number of rivers draining the island, some of which though short are large in volume. Among the more notable rivers are the Somass River in the Alberni Valley, the Nimpkish River in the North Island region, the Englishman River up island from Nanaimo near Parksville, and the Cowichan River whose basin forms the Cowichan Valley region in the South Island region.The climate is the mildest in Canada, with temperatures on the coast even in January being usually above 0 °C (32 °F). However, the rain shadow effect of the island's mountains, as well as the mountains of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, creates wide variation in precipitation. The west coast is considerably wetter than the east coast. Average annual precipitation ranges from 6,650 millimetres (261.8 in) at Henderson Lake on the west coast (making it the wettest place in North America) to only 640 millimetres (25.2 in) at the driest recording station in the provincial capital of Victoria on the southeast coast's Saanich Peninsula. Precipitation is heaviest in the autumn and winter. Snow is rare at low altitudes but is common on the island's mountaintops in winter.Vancouver Island lies in the temperate rainforest biome. On the southern and eastern portions of the island, this is characterized by Douglas-fir, western red cedar, arbutus (or madrone), Garry oak, salal, Oregon-grape, and manzanita; moreover, Vancouver Island is the location where the Douglas-fir was first recorded. The fauna of Vancouver Island is similar to that found on the mainland coast, with some notable exceptions and additions. For example, mountain goats, moose, porcupines, chipmunks, and numerous species of small mammals, while plentiful on the mainland, are absent from Vancouver Island. Grizzly bears are absent from the island, where black bears are prevalent, but in 2016 a pair of grizzlies were sighted swimming between smaller islands off the coast near Port McNeill. Vancouver Island does support most of Canada's Roosevelt elk, however, and several mammal species and subspecies, such as the Vancouver Island marmot are unique to the island. The island's rivers, lakes, and coastal regions are renowned for their fisheries of trout, salmon, and Steelhead. It has the most concentrated population of cougars in North America. Wolves are also present on this island.

Fantasea Charter
Vancouver Island has a broad collection of birds and wildlife, both on land and in the sea. Learning to recognize different species can bring us closer to nature and keep us aware of the world we live in. Here are just some of the birds you might encounter walking the ocean shores of Victoria, or on one of our wildlife sightseeing cruises.
2016 [09 September] - Daniel Watson
Much of the birding was incidental, but I managed to catch up with most of my target birds. In total I saw 105 species of birds, of which 71 were lifers. We saw a total of 15 mammal species including all of our targets.
2017 [08 August] - Anna Wittmer
This was a fantastic Vancouver Island birding tour with a wonderful pair of participants. We found our number one target, Eurasian Skylark, and a nice variety of sea- and shorebirds. Several of the avian highlights were Surfbird, Black-throated Grey Warbler, and American Dipper. We were also treated with marine mammals such as orca, gray whale, Black Sea harbor porpoise, and harbour seal.
2018 [05 May] - Daniel Branch & Paul Collins
We chose Vancouver as a destination mainly because we wanted to see Varied Thrush. Thiswas not the only reason we chose to visit Vancouver, however, as there are many westcoast species that would be otherwise difficult to encounter. Many of the warblers andother migrant species that we encountered are restricted to the west coast, and Vancouverpresented an excellent opportunity to see these species.
Royston House B&B
The Comox Valley birds are as varied as the locations you find them in, from large predator species to the smallest. At royston house we experience over 50 different bird species throughout the year including the birds that winter near the K'omoks Estuary.
Birds of Vancouver Island
Some good places to bird watch include the Tofino Mudflats, Deep Bay Spit, Admirals Lagoon, Sidney Spit, Little Qualicum Estuary, Nanaimo Estuary, Somass Estuary, Englishman River Estuary and Courtenay Airpark. You can also see birds in many of the rocky and sandy beaches along each coast...

Bird watching is an essential activity on the south end of Vancouver Island, BC, where bald eagles are abundant, and auklets, guillemots, black oystercatchers and common murre are just a few of what you may encounter along the way.
Vancouver Island Birds
Vancouver Island Birds is an online magazine featuring photographs to celebrate and enjoy the birds of Vancouver Island. The purpose of this website is to share the many birds that I have been fortunate enough to encounter, enjoy, and photograph.

I am neither an authority on birds nor photography, but pictures don't lie. I'm counting on the images to inspire you to get interested in the birds and nature. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it is worth much more when shared with others. In the spirit of sharing and promoting interest in birds, nature, and conservation, it is my pleasure to present VANCOUVER ISLAND BIRDS.

MY GREEK TABLE season 1 is about to air.
Fillo Factory is a proud sponsor of the MY GREEK TABLE series on Public TV this fall. It is set to debut on October 4th on public television. Check your local guide for dates and times.
The series, filmed on location in Greece, features Diane Kochilas as the host – a celebrity chef, TV cook-show host, award winning author, cooking school owner, and an internationally renowned authority on Greek cuisine. Diane will be exploring the cuisine of Greece travelling through Crete, the Peloponnese, Athens, Santorini, Ikaria, Lesvos, Volos, Pelion, Ioannina, the Zagorohoria, and Naousa, meeting fabulous cooks and exploring uncharted Greece along the way. During this series, Diane will also take you on a personal journey, "to reveal a country and a culinary point of view that feeds my soul and has shaped me into the person and chef that I am today".
A point of interest is that Diane is a native of Ikaria, long known as the island of longevity. Where locals are 10x more likely to reach the milestone 100 years old than most Americans. It is speculated that the islanders pretty much follow the Mediterranean diet their entire lives. You will hear more about this during the shows.
Watch for the day MY GREEK TABLE premieres in your locale, and tune in to be amazed by the food, culture, and hospitality of the Greeks.
Everyone can enjoy Greek food, not just Greeks! I'm excited for the show, and seems like a great sponsorship opportunity to widen your audience!
Yes we are excited too! Thanks for your support!

ANSI Names Joseph Tretler Jr. as Vice President, International Policy
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the coordinator of the U.S. voluntary standardization system, is pleased to announce the promotion of Joseph Tretler Jr. to the position of vice president, international policy. Mr. Tretler will replace Gary Kushnier, who transitioned to the position of senior advisor - international in November 2013 [see related story].
Mr. Tretler joined ANSI in 1985 as a program administrator for the Institute's Standards Technology department. He became ANSI's program director, international, in 1989 and was promoted to information technology business director in 1996, overseeing implementation of processes and systems related to an organization-wide business process redesign. Since 1998, Mr. Tretler has served as ANSI's senior director, international technical program and services, managing ANSI's coordination efforts related to U.S. participation in the international standardization activities of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), overseeing ANSI's ISO outreach and enhanced services program, and leading ANSI's ISO Team (ISOT), among other responsibilities.
In his new role as vice president, international policy, Mr. Tretler will head up ANSI's policy coordination and liaison activities related to ISO, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), the European Organization for Testing and Certification (EOTC), the Pacific Area Standards Congress (PASC), and the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT), as well as their national member bodies and other relevant groups. He will also be responsible for liaising with U.S. government agencies, such as the Department of Commerce (DoC)'s International Trade Administration (ITA) and National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), and the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), as well as associations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
"Joe has long been an essential part of our team here at ANSI," said S. Joe Bhatia, ANSI president and CEO. "With his international experience, skill at building and maintaining working relationships, and his thoughtful, effective leadership, he'll be a wonderful asset as vice president and as a member of ANSI's senior staff."
Mr. Tretler holds his bachelor of arts degree in liberal arts from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In connection with his promotion, he will be relocating from ANSI's New York City office to the Institute's headquarters in Washington, DC.

Q: Turn-Based Multiplayer Quick Start The Google guide for Turn-based Multiplayer Support in Android Games walks through how to start a new match using the default UI using getSelectedOpponentsIntent(). It also mentions the following:

Alternatively, you can implement a Quick Start button to let users bypass the player picker UI, and instead use some default criteria to build the match.

I'm having trouble finding any examples on how to accomplish this. To my understanding, I would need to manually create the Intent that getSelectedOpponentsIntent() creates if you add an Auto-Match partner.

Q: Entity Framework Core 3.0 - Update an entities navigation property without first deleting or loading and then inserting I'm trying to update an entity Contact's navigational property Subjects. This is a collection of Subjects.
My intention is for entity framework to detect that if I have only 2 subjects in this list, but the database has 5 subjects, i want to delete the 3 subjects which are not present in the list.
I have acheived that using the code below.
// The entity we wish to update.
var contact = locationContact.Contact;

// Attach it and set all properties to modified.
_db.Update(contact);

// Since its an update, we haven't provided this property and don't want it to be changed, so unset IsModified.
_db.Entry(contact).Property(x => x.RegisteredUtc).IsModified = false;

// Set the updated subjects to a temporary list
var updatedSubjects = new List<ContactSubject>(contact.Subjects);

// Load the current subjects list
await _db.Entry(contact).Navigation("Subjects").LoadAsync();

// Replace it with the new list, so changes are detected
contact.Subjects = updatedSubjects;

// Save the changes
await _db.SaveChangesAsync();

My concern is the call to LoadAsync() - If I'm updating hundreds of Contacts it could cause a big slowdown.
I've tried setting IsLoaded on Subjects as opposed to calling LoadAsync but it didn't work.
Likewise, I've tried setting IsModified on Subjects but it didn't work.
There must be a way to ask EF:

Please consider the list I have provided for this navigation property as what I wish to exist in the database. If an entry exists in the list but not in the database, add that entry. If an entry exists in the database but not in the list, delete that entry.

Does anyone know a more performant way to do this than what I have done above?
Thanks

A: If you can build a simple where clause on the child table, you can load multiple records at once.
// capture all the modified contact.Subjects relationships.
// Assuming contacts is some IEnumerable<> of contact.GetType()
var newValues = contacts.Select(c => (contact = c, c.Subjects)).ToList();
// Re-load them all from the database
await _db.Subjects.Where(s => ...).LoadAsync();
// Reset them all again
foreach((var contact, var subjects) in newValues)
   contact.Subjects = subjects;

The trick is building the where clause. If you already have some criteria you used to fetch the contacts, re-use that. eg;
...Where(s => s.Contact.OtherFK == value);

However, personally I wouldn't do it that way. I'd keep track of each records EntityState, Added / Unchanged / Modified / Deleted and re-attach them to the context. Otherwise how are you going to deal with concurrency issues?

Guests at Disneyland Resort in California are experiencing some major nostalgia with the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade. Leaving the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World after running off and on from 1977 the parade is making a brief stop at Disneyland before being retired. Hit the jump to see a video of the parade's return to Disneyland!
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is an interactive card based game that guests can play at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. I have quite a few cards but have never really played the game. The object of the game is to go around to hidden portals in the park and use your cards to cast spells and defeat the villains. The cards are free to every Magic Kingdom guest and you can get one pack per day. Exclusive cards are usually given out during special events such as Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. During my last trip to Disney World I decided it was time to play a round of Sorcerers. Hit the jump to see me try (and fail) to play the game.
Now that guests are able to enter Main Street USA and the Hub at Magic Kingdom an hour before the park officially opens Disney has announced some new breakfast options coming to Casey's Corner and the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. Quick Service breakfast is one of the things that I don't really like about Disney food. I usually prefer to grab breakfast at my resort or a table service restaurant. Will these new offerings change that for me? More details after the jump.
I'm not a fan of the Disneyland Resort's FastPass system. I say this because I've become so accustomed to using the MyMagic+ system in place at Walt Disney World in Florida. I'm also a technology guy so being able to book, change and redeem FastPasses all electronically is definitely my preferred way to go! Well it looks like Disneyland Resort is sort of stepping into modern times…for a price. I guess that's the theme of this week's Disney news! Hit the jump for details on Disneyland Resort's new MaxPass system!
We posted earlier about the new Welcome Show and rope drop process for the Magic Kingdom. Well the new show debuted earlier this week and Disney is giving those who can't make it to the parks a look at what you can expect during your next visit to Walt Disney World. Check out the video after the jump.
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort is the oldest moderate resort at Walt Disney World in Florida. It's also the largest resort on property at over two hundred acres and 2109 rooms. I stayed here for the first time during October of 2016. The resort has just undergone a major renovation and every room is newly remodeled so I wasn't worried that it was the oldest moderate. What is it like to stay at the largest Walt Disney World resort hit the jump for my review of Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.
Walt Disney World is a huge place. It's over 43 square miles includes four theme parks and 34 resorts. I've always relied upon the Disney transportation system to get around the property. This has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the biggest disadvantages is that it can be time consuming. Getting from one park to another can sometimes take an hour depending on how lucky you are with grabbing a shuttle. Disney is now offering a solution to this problem…for a cost! Guest are now able to purchase express transportation to use while park hopping. Hit the jump for more details..
The Disney dining plan is something that divides Disney fans. There are staunch supporters saying it makes things easier and is cost effective while others say it overly complicates things and is not the bargain it's made out to be. I like the dining plan. I think it can be a bit expensive but it's nice to have all your meals paid for before leaving on vacation and I don't think it's a complicated system at all. The dining plan has traditionally only been offered to guests staying at a Walt Disney World resort. Now Disney is doing a test where guests can purchase a single day dining plan for the Magic Kingdom. Is this a good deal? Hit the jump for more details.
A lot of first time guests to the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World are often surprised to learn that alcohol is not served in the park. This is from an edict given by Walt Disney who was afraid that people would over indulge and ruin the magic for other guests. Disneyland follows this same rule and only serves alcohol in the ultra exclusive Club 33. Well it looks like Disney has decided to slowly change these rules and is now bringing booze to four restaurants in the Magic Kingdom. Hit the jump for more details on where you can get a cocktail in the park!
MagicBands have been at Walt Disney World since 2013 and have been widely liked by guests. Disney decided it was time for a face lift and re-worked the MagicBand. The new bands look a little different than the old MagicBands but open the door to be worn on lanyards, key chains and more. Hit the jump for more details on the new MagicBand and the accessories you can expect to see in the parks.

PAT EATON-ROBB
STORRS, Conn. (AP) — UConn won its rivalry game against Notre Dame but may have lost last year's national player of the year to a knee injury in the process.
Paige Bueckers scored 22 points before going down with just seconds left in No. 2 UConn's 73-54 victory over No. 24 Notre Dame on Sunday.
Bueckers, who is averaging a little more than 20 points per game, was dribbling up the court in the final minute of this one when she stumbled, twisting her ankle and coming down awkwardly on her left leg. She went to the floor a few seconds later and had to be carried off the court.
Coach Geno Auriemma said she injured her left knee but did not appear to twist it. He said the extent of the injury won't be known until scans are completed on Monday.
"The initial report is, she might have hyperextended it," Auriemma said. "But I think the first thing that goes through your mind is the worst thing."
Olivia Nelson-Ododa added 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Huskies (5-1), who dominated underneath, outrebounding Notre Dame 45-32 and outscored the Fighting Irish 28-16 in the paint.
UConn freshman Caroline Ducharme scored a season-best 14 points and Aaliyah Edwards chipped in with 10.
Freshman Sonia Citron, coming off a 29-point game against Michigan State, scored 19 points for Notre Dame (7-2), which had its final lead at 10-9 in the first quarter.
The Huskies led by 10 points at halftime and by 12 early in the second half. But Notre Dame used a 6-2 run to cut the lead to 51-44 headed into the fourth quarter.
The Huskies took over from there. A 3-pointer from Bueckers made it 56-44 and UConn scored the first 13 points of the final quarter to put the game away.
"We played competitively for three quarters," Notre Dame coach Niele Ivey said. "And in the fourth quarter they ran away with it. I think it's a credit to UConn. They are a really great team. Unfortunately, we got outrebounded and I thought that was the difference."
UConn fell behind early, before going on a 7-0 run to take the lead for good. The Huskies ended the first quarter leading 16-12.
A 3-point play by Nelson-Ododa after an offensive rebound gave UConn a 28-23 lead and sparked a run that saw the Huskies score 10 of the final 12 points in the half.
A long pass from Bueckers to Christyn Williams, who laid the ball in just before the buzzer, sent the Huskies into halftime leading 35-25.
UConn had 14 of its 18 second-chance points in the first half, while holding the Irish to just four during the game.
"We definitely celebrated the win, but we were definitely more concerned about Paige and just how she was feeling and her status right now," Nelson-Ododa said. "You know, we're praying for the best and praying for good news and just kind of waiting for the outcome."
Notre Dame: This was Ivey's first game against UConn as a head coach. The Irish are now 13-39 all-time against the Huskies, 0-9 in the month of December and 9-11 over the last 20 meetings.
UConn: Before the game, UConn dedicated a monument outside of Gampel Pavilion honoring the school's Olympians, including 16 former Husky women's basketball players. Eleven of those won gold medals, led by Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi, who each have five.
HE SAID IT
Auriemma was asked why Bueckers was on the floor in the final minute of what turned out to be a 19-point win. He said there is no good explanation for that.
"She never wants to come out," he said. "She's a pain in the (behind) to have on the bench, 'cause all she does is complain about why she's not playing and we've made a concerted effort in the last three or four games to get her some rest during the game."
POLL IMPLICATIONS
UConn likely will remain near the top of the poll, but how long it stays there may depend on the extent of Bueckers' injury. Notre Dame's losses have come to No. 20 Georgia in overtime and to UConn, which may be enough to push them outside the Top 25.
Notre Dame: Continues its road trip with a visit to Valparaiso on Wednesday.
UConn: Travels to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech on Thursday.

WARNING LATEST NIGHTLY TRASHED MY SESSION AND NEW TAB PAGE TILES.
When I checked for updates I noticed a very long shut-down time before the upgrade took place. No crashes/hangs were logged.
I remember someone commenting that the PID on mouse hover on a tab is a Nightly-only feature to aid in debugging Nightly, that it wouldn't be present in the other channels. This has remained true since last July or so when I started using Nightly.
I have no idea what's going on here... History is not being saved, and each open and close opens only a new tab page, that is not populated fully and is taking forever to load those.
Sessionstore and backups are being deleted on close.
Off to do a system restart.
Going to back up my profile now with Mozbackup. Would hate to go backwards at this point. Already at a step back without Session Manager running.
I have no idea what happened but my places.sqlite somehow lost over a year of history even though it shows its intact. I copied it into a clean profile and there is nothing. Was not saving history or session data.

I don't know for sure but I would think that the databases have a limited capacity.
And out of curiosity may I ask just why you thought it was necessary to try to store that much data?
I use Nightly in as bare-bones as possible. That is just what's been stored over the years of testing determined by default settings. I've never changed those.
Firefox will purge data I assume on space-needed basis, but this is a first in a long time it wiped all history and sessions leaving Bookmarks intact.
I see. So this is an incontinence and not a disaster.
I don't worry about that but the last time I paid any attention there were settings and the default was 350 MB. IIRC, the larger the 'saved' the slower Firefox would run. Maybe it is different today? It has been a while.
I've had the strangest stuff go missing constantly recently as well. Video I watched 2 days ago wasn't in my history at all today. It's driving me nuts. No I'm nt in private mode or anything, on this PC my profiles pretty stock.
Do you find it odd that no one else mentioned it? Or am I being ignored. Again?

Sender for controlling appliances and lights, that are plugged into the X10 modules, through the existing house wiring. Automatically switches all lights (on or flashing) in case of alarm, without running any extra wires. You can use almost every signal as a "trigger" for the SM10: contact closure (relays, switch of alarm keypad), but also any voltage between 6 and 18 V (e.g. doorbell transformer or amplified audio signal).
A magnetic switch can be connected to the SM10, which can be used to turn lights on and off when opening or closing doors and windows.
The SM10 can be connected to the switch contacts of a light sensor or motion sensor or an (amplified) microphone or humidity sensor in order to activate X10 modules.
will also turn On any other Modules set to its Unit code, a stereo connected to an Appliance Module, for example. All Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Module are left in the On state when the system is deactivated, but the Module set to the same Unit code as the SM10 will turn Off.
The SM10 will FLASH all lights connected to Lamp Modules or Wall Switch Modules. All Lamp and Wall Switch Modules will be left in the On state when the system is de-activated but Appliance modules set to the same House code as the SM10 will turn Off.
The SM10 will turn ON any Module set to the same House Code and Unit Code as the SM10 when the system is activated and turns it OFF when the input contact is opened.
Set the input switch to A for triggering the interface by a low voltage input (6-8 V AC, DC or audio), to B for triggering the interface by a dry contact closure. Do not connect 220V to the input terminal!


The next producer to be added to our "foodie footsteps" mobile app, Paddock2Plate, not only grows pomegranates but produces beef, lamb and eggs as well.
We are excited to be adding Cameron Phillips and family of Pomegranate Farm to our growing list of farmers that can be found along our food trails in Victoria and Western Australia (…so far).
Here's a little bit of info about the business: Pomegranate Farm is a small family enterprise using Demeter Biodynamic farming methods. The Phillips family has not used chemical pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilisers on the property since moving to Barmah in September 1991. Pomegranates are ripe from late April through to May and June. Beef is available from June and lamb is usually available year round. Eggs from pastured hens are still a developing enterprise. The Phillips' will be looking at pasture-raised meat birds in the future.
For producers… this app promotes and supports your business, while boosting the local economy.
For everyone else… this app will assist you in finding farm gates and embarking on food trails where you can purchase produce directly from local farmers throughout the state.
Download the FREE app from the App Store today and start planning your next "foodie" trip in rural and regional Australia.
Spread the word about this app on your social media pages and don't forget to tag us. There is a 'From Paddock to Plate' Facebook page, Instagram account (@paddockproduce) and Twitter feed (@paddockproduce).
