Editor's note: J-Source comes of age
By Many	• 4 years ago
Bruce Gillespie looks back on his three-year term as J-Source's editor-in-chief.
By Bruce Gillespie, Editor-in-Chief
When I was invited to become the editor-in-chief of J-Source almost three years ago, it was to help shepherd the site through a period I've come to think of as its late adolescence and early adulthood.
After all, the site was about to leave its place of birth, the Canadian Journalism Foundation, and strike out on its own to become an independent organization. It also had to find a new home of sorts, as its content management system was starting to show its age and the site was in need of a mobile-friendly redesign.
Plus, in the couple of months before I came on board, the site had started to stretch its wings by covering breaking news more frequently, in addition to the deep dives, analysis and commentary it had always provided.
Looking back, agreeing to take on the role at such a time probably should have felt more daunting than it did. But thanks to the hard work of my predecessor, Janice Neil, and the enthusiasm of everyone involved, it just felt like an exciting opportunity to dive into digital journalism and support an organization I'd long enjoyed as a reader.
Three years and more than 1,100 articles later, I'm proud of what we've been able to accomplish and how we've met our goals. Not only have we survived the transition to becoming an independent organization and updated our website, but we have continued to produce top-quality stories while growing our audience steadily. J-Source continues to be the go-to source for industry professionals, as well as scholars and students, for news, analysis and commentary about journalism in Canada, whether you're reading the site, following us on Twitter or Facebook or keeping up-to-date via our weekly newsletter.
None of this would be possible without the work of people across the country who volunteer their time in a variety of ways, from editing different sections of the site and working with student reporters to fundraising and providing technical support. Like so much behind-the-scenes work, theirs goes largely unnoticed by readers. But I have always appreciated the energy and enthusiasm they have put into J-Source—without it, the site simply wouldn't be the lively, engaging hub it is today.
I'd also like to thank the three associate editors I've worked with, who have always shouldered the lion's share of the work involved in keeping the site going: Tamara Baluja, Chantal Braganza and H.G. Watson. Each of them worked above and beyond the hours they were paid for, chasing breaking news stories into the evenings and weekends and coordinating coverage from across Canada. It has been an undeniable pleasure to work with such smart, talented and hard-working journalists, each of whom put her own stamp on the site and pushed us to expand our coverage and try new things. I always appreciated their passion for their work and the graciousness and good humour with which they responded to my vague story ideas or nagging reminders about Canadian Press Style.
As I finish up my term at J-Source, I feel as though the site has come of age and am confident about its future in the hands of my successor, Patricia W. Elliott, an assistant professor at the University of Regina. She is an accomplished journalist and a respected academic with long-standing ties to J-Source, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the site grows and changes under her leadership—this time, as a reader.
Bruce Gillespie was the editor-in-chief of J-Source from 2013 to 2016 and is an associate professor in the Digital Media and Journalism program at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Media captionMitt Romney: "I wish President Obama had succeeded, because I want America to succeed"
Mitt Romney has pledged "to restore the promise of America", as he accepted the Republican presidential nomination at the party's convention in Florida.
Mr Romney accused President Barack Obama of failing to deliver on his promises and presented his plan involving energy independence, cutting the budget deficit and creating jobs.
He also spoke of his Mormon faith.
The Obama campaign said Mr Romney had "no tangible ideas" and "would take our country backwards".
Mr Romney will challenge the Democratic president in November's election.
His speech was the climax of the three-day Republican convention, which correspondents saw as an attempt to show the human side of a candidate who is sometimes accused of being opaque and distant.
On Friday Mr Romney will visit Louisiana to tour areas damaged by Hurricane Isaac. He will visit LaFitte, some 16 miles (25km) from New Orleans, and a local command centre.
He will miss pre-planned campaign events in Florida and in Virginia to make time for his detour to the storm zone.
Mr Romney began the most important speech of his political career by accepting the nomination that he was overwhelmingly awarded on Tuesday by thousands of delegates at the gala in Tampa.
It secured him the position that eluded him in his first presidential bid in 2008, when Arizona Senator John McCain became the Republican nominee.
"I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed," Mr Romney said, in a speech that was watched by millions across the US.
Instead he told his audience: "You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him."
And he pledged to do things differently: "President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet. My promise... is to help you and your family."
The 65-year-old presidential nominee recounted details of his Mormon upbringing, with anecdotes about his family life and his parents' loving marriage.
Mr Romney talked about his own experiences as a father, apparently becoming emotional as he talked about the times when he and his wife Ann would wake up to find "a pile of kids asleep in our room".
Mr Romney vowed to create 12 million American jobs over the next four years and turn around an economy saddled with an 8.3% unemployment rate.
He also pledged to make the US energy independent by 2020, cut the national deficit and negotiate new trade agreements.
"I will begin my presidency with a jobs tour. President Obama began his presidency with an apology tour," he said.
He accused the president of having "thrown allies like Israel under the bus", while being too lenient with Iran.
"Under my administration, our friends will see more loyalty and Mr Putin will see a little less flexibility and more backbone," Mr Romney said.
He brought the crowd to its feet when he pledged to repeal Mr Obama's signature healthcare bill.
The Washington Post's Jonathan Bernstein writes of "a generic speech and a generic convention for a generic Republican candidate", adding that "everything in it was perfunctory".
The Boston Globe describes the speech as "less of an emphatic statement of purpose than a direct challenge to President Obama". The ball is now firmly in Mr Obama's court and he will have a chance to return the volley next week, the editorial says.
The New York Times' Jim Rutenberg says Mr Romney worked hard to show he had a heart but still has to convince many Americans that Mr Obama's presidency did not work, and to let go of him and move on.
"Romney is very effective at puncturing Obama's grandiosity. If he does it half as well in person, the debates will be a blast," writes the Wall Street Journal's James Taranto.
Fox News' Douglas Schoen says that while Mr Romney's speech did not close the deal, he took a "giant step forward" and his speech began the process of "humanising" him.
The event ended with the entire Romney family - his wife, five sons and their wives and most of his 18 grandchildren - on stage with him as thousands of balloons were released over the convention floor.
Republicans at the convention said they were confident of victory after the speech.
"It's been great. It's fired us up. We're going forward. We're going to make it happen," one delegate told the BBC.
"This is just the cherry on the whipped cream, on the ice cream, and we're going to win in November, and there's no stopping it now. This is the wind that's going to blow us into office," said another.
But Mr Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina said the address contained little substance.
"Much like the entire Republican Convention, Mitt Romney's speech tonight offered many personal attacks and gauzy platitudes, but no tangible ideas to move the country forward," he said.
"What he didn't share were his actual proposals, which would take our country backwards."
Appearing on stage earlier to pledge his support for Mr Romney, Hollywood star Clint Eastwood raised eyebrows with an off-the-cuff monologue to an imaginary Mr Obama in an empty chair.
Referring to the president, the actor told a rapturous audience: "When somebody does not do the job, you've got to let 'em go."
Media captionMarco Rubio said "hope and change has become divide and conquer"
Democrats have sought to depict Mr Romney as a wealthy, elitist, tax-dodging, corporate raider and policy chameleon. Low favourability ratings have dogged him throughout his campaign and he trails Mr Obama in likeability.
To counter that image, the convention heard emotional testimonials about Mr Romney's work as a Mormon leader that left some attendees in tears.
One couple talked of how Mr Romney had befriended and comforted their dying teenage son.
A woman recalled how the Republican's "eyes filled with tears" when her premature baby daughter was close to death in hospital.
On Wednesday, Mr Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, pledged a "turnaround" for America, while attacking Mr Obama.
But fact-checkers said there were a number of inaccuracies in the Wisconsin congressman's address.
The job of softening Mr Romney's edges also fell to his wife, who brought down the house on Tuesday with a speech about their high-school romance.

The Golden Age of the Automobile
by Trent
These may be some fighting words, but we are in the golden age of the automobile. Just yesterday, the Bugatti Chiron was announced and most of us don't really care because it's far beyond our means. I understand that, but there was one thing that really stood out to me, the speedo. It goes to 500…really! FIVE HUNDRED kilometers per hour! Though it's top speed is limited to a mere 423km/h or 261 mph, that is still insane to the point where you'd never expect a production vehicle this side of Hennessey to ever reach that number when I first started driving.
That was only 14 years ago, and airbags back then basically came in two flavors(front and side). Now they have airbags in your seatbelts and Volvo, the crazy Swedes that they are, is even toying with airbags on the outside of the vehicle. We live in an age where if your new car doesn't do 0-60 in under 4 seconds, it doesn't get a second mention. Do you know how much work you have to do to get a 93 Civic to do 0-60 in 4 seconds?
Yes cars are becoming increasingly complicated, and heavier, but I can do 0-60 in 5.8 seconds while getting 31 mpg in a large sedan like the Lexus ES350 and yet it will feel as though I'm gliding on Ashley Furniture's latest and greatest sofa.
If you think I'm wrong, and many of you may feel that way, look toward the future. How many RWD platforms are still being developed? Look at the movement towards autotonomous cars where you have no driving inputs at all. We're killing the auto industry every day and these next 10-15 years will be the last hurrah with the safest, quickest vehicles on the road before we give up our ability to purchase a fun vehicle to our Prius-loving, hipster overlords. Just as we are doing now looking back to the 90's and 80's and saying, "They don't make them like they used to", we'll be doing the same to this generation of cars before long.

New Memorandum of Understanding to Strengthen Bilateral Cooperation on Animal Health and Sanitary Measures between Kenya and Ethiopia along Common Border
The Standard Methods and Procedures in Animal Health (SMP-AH) Project organized a bilateral cross-border meeting for the Kenya-Ethiopia border from 18th to 21st May 2015 in Nanyuki, Kenya under the auspices of AU-IBAR and IGAD/ICPALD. Its main objective was to develop a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen cross-border collaboration on disease surveillance, information exchange, disease control, and trade in livestock and livestock products. A total of 32 participants drawn from Ethiopia, Kenya, AU-IBAR, IGAD, FAO and Kenya Red Cross attended the meeting.
In his welcome remarks, on behalf of the Acting Director of the IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD)-Dr Solomon Munyua, Dr Ameha Sebsibe noted that several cross-border activities have been conducted in the region but are not coordinated. He noted that IGAD and AU-IBAR work in partnership to implement SMP-AH activities tailored towards coordination and harmonization, and especially identifying common issues between countries and concretizing actions with bilateral agreements.
In his opening remarks, on behalf of the Director of African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) – Prof. Ahmed Elsawalhy, Dr Joseph Magona noted the challenge that transboundary animal diseases continue to pose to livestock production and trade in the Greater Horn of Africa region. He further emphasized that the bilateral cross-border meeting for the Kenya-Ethiopia border was intended to operationalize action plans developed during the regional cross-border meetings through developing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Kenya and Ethiopia to allow them work together in cross-border areas. He requested each country to embrace the development of MoU to achieve stronger regional cooperation.
In his official opening, on behalf of the Director Veterinary Services of Kenya, Dr Michael Cheruiyot stated the need to focus on disease surveillance, control and trade in livestock and livestock products as major areas of collaboration during the development of the bilateral MoU between Kenya and Ethiopia. He emphasized the need for greater collaboration and stronger linkages between counties and the National Government in Kenya.
Dr Kabayo, a Regional Coordinator for the IGAD Drought Resilience Platform thanked organizers of the bilateral cross-border meeting. He noted the continued need for such meetings to allow grassroot implementation of important resolutions normally generated through high-level regional meetings. He highlighted the need to consider drought and its associated negative effects on livestock productivity and livelihoods of pastoral communities as an important issue that needed addressing in the cross-border areas. He observed that if appropriate regional drought resilience measures are put in place, drought occurrence should not always lead to famine among communities.
In his remarks, on behalf of the Chief Veterinary Officer of Ethiopia, Dr Hassan Chaka lauded the good relationship existing between Ethiopia and Kenya, manifested through recent and on-going cross-border, political and economic meetings and joint development projects. He called for joint interactions, wider consultations and collaborations during the meeting to achieve best results.
The two countries exchanged information relating to occurrence of transboundary animal diseases, ongoing vaccination campaigns and animal health human resource distribution in cross-border areas along the Kenya-Ethiopia border.
Kenya and Ethiopia adopted the conventional structure of an MoU outlining the various articles and the key content. The agreed areas of collaboration included the following: control of trans-boundary animal diseases (TADs) through surveillance, vaccination, reporting, information sharing, livestock movement control, and awareness creation for communities; mapping of stock routes and natural resources (water and pasture), including control of invasive weeds; enforcement of regulations on veterinary drug use; facilitation of livestock trade through quality control and certification; access to livestock-related infrastructure including diagnostic laboratories, cold chain, and holding grounds (quarantines); joint promotion of livestock identification and traceability; cross-border networking among communities; and joint capacity building of stakeholders.
The MOU will be implemented in specific identified areas of the counties of Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit and Turkana in the Republic of Kenya, and in identified areas of Somali, Oromia and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Regional States of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. The participants first debated the components of the agreement, and then followed a step-by-step process before reaching an agreement on the draft MoU.
The meeting further discussed the formation of the Cross-border Task Force for the Kenya-Ethiopia border, defined as a Technical Committee. The committee will advance issues and complete developing the MoU. It will be composed of a multidisciplinary technical team of officers from each of the countries, comprising up to 10 from both countries. Members of the multidisciplinary technical team shall be appointed by the Steering Committee. The key aspects of the ToR for the technical team included: drawing up the MOU implementation framework and strategic action plans; implementing activities in cross-border areas at county, regional and lowest administrative levels, and resource mobilization and sharing exchange visits.
The meeting agreed on processes that will lead to the finalization of the MOU, namely that IGAD will share the draft with member states by 5th June 2015; two respective Governments will ensure the MoU satisfies their internal processes at MS level by 5th August 2015; a validation meeting for the MoU will be held by 7th September 2015; the MoU will be concluded by 8th September 2015; and the Steering Committee will be launched by 8th September 2015.


Welcome and thanks for joining us for this episode of the unSeminary podcast. I'm thrilled to have Marty Sawyers with us today. Marty is the executive pastor at Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Arizona.
Cornerstone Christian Fellowship is one of the fastest growing churches in the country. It has a lot of activities for the family with a very practical, biblical message. As the Executive Pastor, Marty oversees all staff and is part of the executive team which oversees every part of the church.
Communication breakdowns are a fairly common challenge in all types of interpersonal relationships, including ministry, and can be linked back to causing most problems. Marty is talking with us today about how Cornerstone has tackled the challenge of improving the communication culture among its staff.
Find the problems. // The first evidence that the communication culture needed work among the staff at Cornerstone was a general sense that something wasn't right. Marty says they did the Best Christian Workplace Survey, which is a standard 55 questions regarding the workplace, plus Cornerstone could add a few extra questions specific to them. The survey revealed some consistent themes that needed to be addressed. The biggest issue was that the staff just wasn't talking with each other very well, both up and down, top to bottom, and side to side.
Examine the problem. // Not everyone may realize there is a communication issue, but if some people on the staff are saying it, it should be looked at closely. Approach it ready to listen and admit, "We have a problem, so let's talk about it." At Cornerstone, everyone was sent off in their divisions and asked a series of questions. The executive team wanted to know what people thought it would look like to have a healthy culture of communication from top down, between ministries, and on their own team. They also asked about some specific examples of the existing issues. After compiling the data and looking for trends, they developed a couple of focus groups among the staff.
Include everyone in the solution. // It can be difficult to get honest because no one wants to put themselves out there. As a result, no one on the executive team led the focus groups. An outside HR consultant was brought in, which provided a feeling of security and comfort. Staff were able to open up and share things they might not have said to Marty or other staff members. Marty knew as people felt safer being honest, it would contribute to a better communication culture – one where the staff understood the executive team really wanted to listen to them. As Cornerstone began implementing strategies to address the existing issues, Marty emphasized how important it is that the staff be a part of the solution. Everyone needed to own the steps the church as a whole was taking to improve the culture.
Communication reminders. // Very practically speaking, when a decision or change is made, Cornerstone now makes sure everyone who needs to hear about it does. Sometimes it's just a matter of casting vision and helping people understand why a decision was made rather than just sharing what the decision was. The staff wants to get on board with these decisions and be a part of supporting them. Remind your staff leaders to communicate with their team. Explain that while a decision may be more impactful to a specific department, it does affect the entire church. That constant conversation and sharing with your team keeps spreading the vision and will help people feel included.

Q: Assets in Android Studio can not be found I have imported an existing Android Project from Eclipse into Android Studio. I had my assets like icons in the src/main/res folder. When I tried to run the app the following error occured:
Content is not allowed in prolog: my_logo.png
So I searched for a solution and found out that I should use "src/main/assets" instead of "src/main/res". I then created the assets folder by clicking on "File -> New -> Folder -> Assets Folder", moved the content of the res folder to the new assets folder and tried to run the app again. Now I am getting this error:
No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/my_logo').
It seems like Android Studio does not look inside the new assets folder for the resources. How can I fix this? Thanks a lot!

A: You shouldn't need the assets folder for image resources. Images should be placed inside a drawable folder in your project's res directory.
The reason it's not finding the image now is because @drawable looks for an image resource in the res/drawable/ folder.

Interviews with Luminaries from the Indie Film World
Ep 566: Guy Nattiv
[5 mins. 37 secs.] This episode welcomes Israeli filmmaker (and now transplant), the director of "Skin", Guy Nattiv. After a difficult childhood drives him into the grasps of a white supremacist gang, Bryon (an unrecognizable Jamie Bell, delivering a visceral, explosive performance) tries to escape to a new life, all the while questioning whether he's capable of undoing—and repenting for—the evil he's done. Nattiv, whose short film of the same title won the Academy Award earlier this year, makes his English-language feature debut with this galvanizing story of transformation, inspired by actual events. The film also stars past Filmwax Radio guests Danielle Macdonald and Vera Farmiga, and was edited by Filmwax Radio friend Michael Taylor (next episode's guest). The film is being distributed by A24 and opens theatrically Friday, July 26th. This conversation was recorded at the Lighthouse International Film Festival where "Skin" was opening night film.

What to make of No. 8 Ole Miss' 17-1 start to the season
The Rebels are 17-1 and open SEC play against Tennessee Friday night.
What to make of No. 8 Ole Miss' 17-1 start to the season The Rebels are 17-1 and open SEC play against Tennessee Friday night. Check out this story on clarionledger.com: https://www.clarionledger.com/story/sports/college/ole-miss/2018/03/15/what-make-no-8-ole-miss-17-1-start-season/427506002/
Antonio Morales, Clarion Ledger Published 7:07 p.m. CT March 15, 2018 | Updated 7:49 p.m. CT March 15, 2018
Shortstop Grae Kessinger has been one of the bright spots in Ole Miss' 17-1 start.(Photo: Joshua McCoy/Ole Miss Athletics)
OXFORD — When this time of year rolls around, Grae Kessinger said, "the feeling in the air becomes special."
What Ole Miss' sophomore shortstop is referring to is the beginning of SEC play. The eighth-ranked Rebels have spent the 18 games leading up to this posting a nearly flawless 17-1 record, which is tied for the third-best start in program history.
Ole Miss opens conference play against Tennessee in Oxford Friday night (7 p.m., WatchESPN). So what should we make of this hot start?
"Just their consistency. We figured they were going to have a great year. We ranked them in the top 10 in the preseason," said Aaron Fitt, editor and national writer for D1Baseball.com. "We did that because we believed in the talent. We believed that the sophomores would benefit from the lessons they learned last year as freshmen and would take big steps forward this spring. So far they've done that, kind of as we've expected."
Nine in a row: No. 8 Ole Miss routs Georgia State for ninth consecutive win, moves on to SEC schedule
Kessinger, who struggled at the plate last year, has done well in the leadoff spot this season and is batting .338. Sophomore outfielder Thomas Dillard, who was part of the nation's No. 1 recruiting class with Kessinger, is hitting .350 with four home runs, 15 RBIs and eight stolen bases.
Those guys, along with catcher Cooper Johnson, took their lumps last season. Like Fitt mentioned, it appears they're better for it.
"You just kind of appreciate everything a little bit more," Dillard said. "You're not pressing so much, you're just coming to the field to have fun. That's one of the things that's helped me, not necessarily anything mechanical or approach-wise."
Mike Bianco said the way the team has performed hasn't come as a surprise to him. Fitt said he doesn't have many lingering questions about the Rebels.
More: No. 9 Ole Miss sweeps Eastern Illinois, wins 7th consecutive game
A 17-1 record means a team is doing a lot of things right. But the combined record of Ole Miss' nine opponents is 72-81. After the Rebels swept Tulane to start 7-0, Bianco said his team hadn't been hit with adversity yet.
They suffered their first loss two days later but have responded with a nine-game winning streak. SEC play is sure to bring more challenges than what Ole Miss has faced to date.
So Bianco didn't mind the fact there was some in-game adversity Tuesday night at Georgia State. The Panthers trailed, 5-3, and loaded the bases with one out in the ninth, but the Rebels secured the win with a game-ending double play.
"We all want it easy. We all want to win 10-0, 16-2 like we did the next day, but it's not going to happen. You've got to be able to be in those games, and you learn a lot about yourself in those games," Bianco said. "Proud of the way we handled it, not necessarily the way we got into it. ... We put a lot of pressure on ourselves, but the good news is we were able to handle it.
"But no, it's good for you. You start to realize what kind of club you are."
The SEC has five teams ranked in the top 10 of the USA Today coaches poll. Florida is No. 2, Kentucky's No. 4, Texas A&M is sixth, the Rebels are eighth and Arkansas is 10th.
As far as Fitt goes, he thinks the upper tier of the conference belongs to the Gators, Wildcats and Razorbacks. He doesn't think Ole Miss and Texas A&M are too far behind those three.
More: Ole Miss vs. Tennessee: How to watch, pitching matchups, live stream
"For me, Ole Miss is probably the No. 2 team in the (SEC) West behind Arkansas and I think they have a chance to win the West," Fitt said. "Because Arkansas, as talented as it is, isn't a finished product yet. They've had some hiccups along the road here and there. I don't think they're going to run away with the division."
The Rebels will have to adjust to the quality of pitching they're about to face from here on out, but they can take some faith in knowing they can throw the likes of Ryan Rolison, Brady Feigl and James McArthur onto the mound on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
And that's part of the reason Fitt believes Ole Miss' ceiling is so high.
"It's a team I think has a real shot to get to Omaha," he said. "And if they do, look out. I think they're dangerous."
The next few months will go a long way in telling if the Rebels can live up to such praise.

President Trump is planning to oust Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as early as this week, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
Five current and former White House officials told the Post that Trump is planning to remove Nielsen as soon as possible.
White House chief of staff John Kelly is reportedly fighting the president on the matter, hoping to keep Nielsen in place. Kelly hired Nielsen as his chief of staff while DHS secretary and has reportedly defended her for months.
Trump has berated Nielsen in public and in private since she was hired, aggressively going after her during Cabinet meetings and mocking her in conversations with other White House officials, the Post reported.
Nielsen has reportedly told confidants that she is unhappy in the position. Aides told the Post that Trump does not seem to understand the nuances of immigration policy, creating a rift between himself and his Homeland Security secretary when Nielsen tries to explain the challenges posed by some of his proposals.
Trump has grown frustrated with Nielsen when she reportedly tells him that some of his hard-line proposals, including completely shutting down the border with Mexico, would not be feasible.
Nielsen's departure would be the latest in a string of high-profile Trump administration exits, including Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Sessions resigned last week at Trump's request.
Nielsen came under widespread scrutiny over the summer when reports emerged that the administration's so-called "zero-tolerance" policy had resulted in the separation of thousands of migrant children from their parents at the Southern border. Nielsen vigorously defended the policy in public, drawing the targeted ire of immigration activists and top Democratic lawmakers. Some critics called for her immediate resignation.
Trump later signed an executive order ending the practice amid heavy bipartisan pressure.
The Democratic Socialists of America's Washington, D.C., chapter confronted Nielsen while she dined at a Mexican restaurant over the summer, chanting the words "shame" and "end Texas concentration camps."
DHS in response said Nielsen shared "concern" over border immigration laws with the demonstrators.

Pennsylvania to Allow Wine Sales in Grocery Stores
Wineries to benefit as governor signs bill allowing direct shipping and grocery sales
by Linda Jones McKee
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signs a bill today that will allow grocery stores and convenience stores to sell wine outside of the "state store" system. House Bill 1690 will go into effect in 60 days.
Harrisburg, Pa.—Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf signed legislation today that reforms the way wine, beer and distilled spirits are sold in the state. Long known as a "control state," Pennsylvania has permitted sales of liquor and wine only at "state stores" owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and operated by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. The only exception was made in 1968, when legislation was passed that allowed "Limited Wineries" to produce and sell up to 250,000 cases of wine per year. Now, House Bill 1690 will allow grocery and convenience stores that already sell take-out beer to sell up to four bottles of wine to a customer. Licensed restaurants, hotels, bars and delis also will be permitted to sell the same quantity of take-out wine.
In addition, the legislation addresses the issue of direct shipping to Pennsylvania residents. After paying $250 for a direct wine shipper license, wine producers will be permitted to sell up to 36 cases of wine per year to each Pennsylvania resident of legal drinking age. Each licensed wine producer will also pay a per-gallon tax to the Pennsylvania general fund. Republican legislative leaders believe that these legislative changes will provide an increase of about $150 million in revenue in the next fiscal year.
House Bill 1690 passed the Pennsylvania House by a vote of 157-31 on June 7, and it will take effect 60 days from today. The Senate had passed the legislation Dec. 10, 2015, but it did not advance as the issue of privatization of the state store system became entangled in the state budget debate between the Republican-controlled legislature and Gov. Wolf, who is a Democrat. The June 7 vote was unexpected, as it was not included in plans for this week's legislative session.
Jamie Williams, president of the Pennsylvania Wine Association and vice president of the Winery at Wilcox in Wilcox, Pa., told Wines & Vines that there are numerous positive aspects to the new bill. "It settles the shipping problem," he said. "The per-gallon tax paid into the general fund will provide at least $1 million that will go to the Pennsylvania Wine Marketing Research Board." That board will then make grants for marketing and research projects to local wineries.
"It puts us on a par with Virginia and Ohio and other states that get funding from their state governments," Williams said.
Under the new legislation, limited wineries in Pennsylvania will be able to sell beer produced from licensed breweries and liquor produced by licensed distilleries, and craft distilleries will be able to sell beer and wine for on-site consumption. "It makes a lot of sense. It opens up reciprocity for Pennsylvania wineries, breweries and distilleries to be able to sell each other's products," Williams said.
Some Pennsylvania wineries already have a license to produce distilled spirits. Linda Rice, owner of Mountain View Vineyard Winery & Distillery in Stroudsburg, Pa., said, "The new law will allow us to sell all of our products in the same room and ring up our customers on one cash register. Currently, the law requires us to sell our wine and spirits in separate rooms with separate cash registers. When visitors come for tasting experiences, they legally have to be kept apart." She believes the change will eliminate an inconvenience for customers and increase sales.
Rice also thinks that the changes to direct shipping "will certainly help us satisfy our customer requests and allow us to increase sales." She noted that the new law will allow Mountain View to sell their handcrafted distilled spirits at farmers' markets as well as their wines.
As the owner of a small winery that also makes distilled spirits, Rice said that the changes in excise taxes on distilled spirits will also be an important business tax savings for craft distilleries. "Currently a small winery receives a discount on excise taxes paid as compared to a large winery," she stated. "The new bill will reduce the excise taxes similarly for a small craft distillery."

Apprentices join major Newcastle housing project
By Coreena Ford
The Rise is the first phase of a project which will create 1,800 new homes in Scotswood, Newcastle, as well as community and commercial facilities, parks and public open spaces on a 66 hectare site
A team of young apprentices have started work at the region's largest housing-led regeneration scheme.
The Rise is the first phase of a project which will create 1,800 new homes in Scotswood, Newcastle, as well as community and commercial facilities, parks and public open spaces on a 66 hectare site.
Construction partners Barratt Homes North East and Keepmoat Homes have now taken on trainee bricklayers Connor Summerville, 17, from Scotswood, Michael Connor, 20 and Ryan Gadomski, 19, both from Gosforth, and trainee joiners Taylor Robson, 16, from Newcastle, Neil Bulloch, 18, from Benwell and Jamie Tulip, 19, from Walbottle.
In addition, Vicky Dixon, 18, from Fenham has secured a business administration apprenticeship with the New Tyne West Development Company – the joint venture partnership between Barratt, Keepmoat and Newcastle City Council which is driving the Scotswood initiative.
And Sarah Hewitt, 18, from Scotswood, has started her catering apprenticeship at the Scotswood Community Cafe, which has seen trade increase due to the influx of construction workers.
Neil Bulloch said: "I heard about the opportunity at Newcastle College and it is great to be learning a trade.
"I'm so happy to be working after making loads of unsuccessful applications."
Development director Duncan Bowman said: "From the outset the aim has been to develop a new community to complement and merge with the strong existing community in the area.
"In addition, we want to create jobs and supply chain opportunities for local businesses.
"I am delighted that within just a few weeks of starting construction the partnership has been able to provide these young people with the chance to learn new skills and forge new careers."
The Rise is one of several sites in Newcastle that are part of a Targeted Recruitment and Training Project, through which the city council has helped secure employment and training opportunities for residents through the use of planning agreements and also by including clauses in council contracts.
Cabinet member for communities and local ward councillor, Hazel Stephenson added: "At last, it is wonderful to see the first houses being constructed on this site and it is even more encouraging that this development is able to give a handful of local young people a chance to gain valuable skills and begin a meaningful working life."

Q: Testing outbound requests from Firebase cloud functions on free tier Each dev on our team is setting up a Firebase project to work with 'locally'. Due to the outbound requests restriction on the free tier, the implication here is that non-Google services that are being called from our functions, cannot actually be called to validate the function works as expected.
Right now the best I can come up with is determining which environment a cloud function is running in (e.g. local, master, prod, etc.) and, if not on a paid tier, fake the outbound service response.
Is there a better way to do this? Ideally we would like to be able to have a fully functional cloud function for each dev.

A: As you said faking the 3rd party service is one solution.
Another could be using Google's 12 month 300$ credit at https://cloud.google.com/free/
That makes it possible for you to have a single Google account with 300$ credits, then you can change your Firebase free plans into Blaze.
If needed, you can also set up budget alerts which notifies you when you spend a certain amount of credit.

Film Commercial Schizophrenia
There's a great tradition of Warner Bros making awful crossovers: Daffy Duck and Porky Pig meet the Groovie Goolies, Justice League 2017 and Tom & Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory immediately come to mind. Now a new addition has arrived. One which makes Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain feel like Citizen Kane by comparison.
As I sat through this movie, I could actually imagine the meetings made at Warner Bros Studios which spawned its creation. They paid close attention to how Disney raked in the cash with Ralph Breaks the Internet and how the Avengers movies make millions just by existing. If Disney could do it, so could they.
Unfortunately, while Disney is shallow, greedy and insincere, Warner Bros is lazy and half baked. And no other product displays this fact like Space Jam: A New Legacy. The sequel to the atrocious advertisement from 1996 isn't a movie. It's haphazard, frenzied, unfunny and, at the end of the day, filling a corporate quota.
Bright colours and glitzy fanservice have been engineered specifically to pander to nostalgia and burn a hole in people's wallets. LeBron and the Looney Tunes fart around in various Warner Bros franchises so that YouTube nerds can upload their "Spot the Character" videos. It's a shamelessly cold and calculating project almost reminiscent of parents who spoil their children and mistake it for love.
Space Jam: A New Legacy wants to copy the success of all the big crossover ensemble movies while cutting corners. Who needs a story and an honest effort when you can create the illusion of a bigger world by name dropping and shoehorning characters from your library? How about having your characters rapping, mentioning social media and internet memes?
At the end of the day, once you look past the world building and scenes of Clark Kent watching a runaway train or King Kong fistbumping the Iron Giant, it's heartbreaking.
It's evident that Warner Bros has little to no confidence in Looney Tunes ever since Back in Action failed to make money. This movie stems from the belief that a Looney Tunes movie, that doesn't shoehorn celebrities and characters from other properties, will be automatically terrible.
In time, Warner Bros will rename it "The HBO Max Movie". Or perhaps even "The Movie That Reminds You of More Superior Movies". Because that's what it is.
This movie is despicable.

Film Just not much to it
Now I was never into the original ''Space Jam''; I didn't grow up with it, so I never really developed the nostalgic connection I know a lot of other people did. So I wasn't especially thrilled when I saw the trailer, and didn't really intend on seeing it when it came out. But I saw how much people on the internet were savaging it, and I found myself deciding to look at it myself, to see if it was worth all that contempt. In the end, I say it isn't, but I also don't contend it to be a good movie.
There is certainly some good in this movie. The direction of this movie is good, with scenes being allowed to play out, and there isn't a sense that the actors didn't have any direction at all. On that note, the acting in this isn't bad either, especially from the Toons, and even from Lebron James himself; he's got a sense of comedic timing, and he can do the emotional scenes alright. I'd also be lying if I said that there weren't some scenes that did actually make me laugh, so I'd say there is talent here. But, in the end, it's all brought down by a simple issue: the writing.
The ultimate problem with this movie, is that instead of being self-referential and satirical (which Looney Tunes always excelled at best), it instead ends up being self-promoting; so many scenes seem to be WB saying "Yeah, we did ''that'' too! Watch more of our stuff!" If the movie had a more self-aware, maybe cynical attitude, I think it could've been a lot funnier, and I don't know if it was too many hands in the pot (this movie had ''six'' writers), or if WB wasn't willing to let itself get made fun of. A few of the references aren't bad, and I'll admit I chuckled at a few cameos, but considering what could've been, it's hard not to feel a little disappointed. The story is also very by the numbers, and the moment we see Lebron and his son, I knew almost everything that was going to happen.
I guess, in the end, this movie is just kind of unimpressive to me. It had some laughs, good ones actually, but the story and tone just didn't really do much.

Film Entertaining, But Deeply Flawed
So much to unpack about this fun but frustrating exercise in crass commercialism. My verdict is "more good than bad, but very, very mixed."
The Tear Jerker stuff surrounding Bugs (the "alone in Toontown" scenes, the heroic near-sacrifice) works surprisingly well; yes, Bugs can make you cry as well as laugh. It makes up for the predictability of the "Well Done, Son!" Guy arc between LeBron and Dom.
I'm all in for Lola as an Amazon warrior. I've always thought she could be a first-class Action Girl, and Wonder Woman agrees with me! I hope to see more of badass Lola in the future.
The toony antics during the big game are hilarious, especially Wile E.'s duplicating machine and Taz rotating the stadium.
The voice actors do their best throughout, supplying most of New Legacy's entertainment value.
LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan... but not by much. As for the live-action cast, Don Cheadle easily walks away with the movie, making Al G. Rhythm a menacing as well as funny character whose wounded pride motivates him to control, corrupt or destroy everything and everyone around him.
"Haters gonna hate", but the mainstream critics complaining about this film's relentlessly mercenary nature have a point, since it interferes with the storytelling. During the "WB worlds" sequences, Lola in Themiscyra works because it's an underappreciated character getting her due, but everything else is random; "Hey, let's put character X in movie Y!" During the game, it's hard to focus on LeBron emoting when we're simultaneously thinking "Hey, there's Jabberjaw!" The cameos are fun up to a point, but they contribute little to the story; they ultimately get in the way of the plot and character dynamics.
Are the Goon Squad corrupted versions of the actual NBA players or just video game characters created by Dom? I was never clear on that.
I didn't miss Pepé Le Pew that much, since his sexist nature needs to be rethought, but where's Penelope Pussycat? She should be a Looney Tune whether Pepe is there or not.
So is New Legacy a good movie? Sometimes. Parts of it even improve on the first film. However, the critics are right about this film's sheer bloated excess. It throws (almost literally) everything at the screen, and some of it sticks, but too much of it is just "Hey, look at all these Warner properties! Oh, and there's a story in here somewhere..." It's still worth seeing, but if there's a Space Jam 3 (which I would actually welcome), WB should forget about doing a massive corporate promo and put the story and characters first.
Or just have Lola kick everybody's ass. That would work too.

80% of people give up on their resolutions by February. Forget new year, new me; let's talk goals. Goals can be set at any time, any place, but most of us struggle with where to start. We break it down to 3 questions and simple steps to take action.

Fiscal targets explained...
The latest forecast from the Office for Budget Responsiblity show the Coalition government on track to meet its moving target to eliminate the structural deficit on current spending within five years. But what do the financial figures look like and what do they mean?
The government is aiming to remove the 'Cyclically adjusted deficit on current budget' within five years (on a rolling basis). This is the deficit on government spending (but not investment, or capital, spending) that does not get eroded with economic growth. When an economy goes into recession, tas revenues go down (people out of work, having pay cuts or pay freezes) and spending goes up too (benefits to those out of work or on low incomes). This usually results in the government having to borrow each year, the cyclical deficit. When the economy grows again, tax revenues rise and people find work and have pay rises -and the government has more to spend elsewhere. The borrowing by government reduces and in a boom time, in theory, government can receive more in tax revenue than it spends.
However, governments often have deficits throughout the cycle. Why is this? It's because they also borrow more money than will be received by taxes in an economic boom. This difference, between the cyclical deficit and the total deficit is known as the structural deficit, or the 'Cyclically adjusted deficit'. When we make sure there is no capital (investment) spending included we get the Cyclically adjusted deficit on current budget - the structual deficit.
Why cut the structural deficit? Well, as long as the government can fund its debt it can borrow for ever. Unlike households. However there are limits. If the debt becomes too large, investors may stop buying government debt (gilts). For the UK, investors might sell Sterling if they feared inflation. And the government's interest bill would grow, dominating the budget and putting the finances at risk of a rise in interest rates (which would increase the interest rate bill). The government can print money and use it to buy gilts (it did this during the crisis when it got the Bank of England to spend almost £375bn on gilts) but in some cases that can risk inflation and affect the value of Sterling against other countries (if people think the pound is worth less).
So central to showing you are credible on the economy and public finances is to show you mean business about getting structural borrowing down - or at least controlling it.
In the table below, from the OBR's latest Economic and FIscal Outlook, the government's 'Fiscal mandate' is in the third section down - I have highlighted it.. Here, it is expressed as a % of GDP. It starts at 2.6% of GDP, then goes up to 2.7%, before falling to be in surplus (a negative number) by 2017-18. Two things are going on here - overall the borrowing is going down mainly as spending is cut and GDP is growing.
At the bottom of the table we can see the actual amounts, in £ billion. Again, the structural deficit rises this year (2014-15) before falling - I've ringed round where it rises. The reason is that the OBR believes the economy is operating nearer full capacity than it thought previously. Taxes from income are well below its expectations but survey data suggests the economy doesnt' have that much spare capacity (the so-called output gap). The OBR has concluded that upside is more limited as far as tax receipts are concerned (at current tax rates) and therefore, compared to its March forecast, less of the deficit is cyclical and more is structural. Hence the figure rises.
The structural deficit then falls as spending cuts kick in further. In particular, the Treasury has told the OBR that although it doesn't have any specific plans beyond 2015-16, the OBR should assume that spending will fall at the same rate as in the current parliament (ie since 2010). We can see this in the highlighted (by me) figures at the top of the table. It's assumed tax receipts jump from 2015-16 but more importantly spending ('Total managed expenditure') falls further as a % of GDP. Those two moves combined produce a step change fall in borrowing as we can see down the table as we compare 2015-16 to 2016-17.
There are various reasons why, despite a higher structural deficit than previously thought, the OBR Outlook has helped George Osborne. A significant reason is that it assumes spending falls faster than previously forecast because the interest the government has to borrow on new debt will be much lower. The OBR has noted that gilt (government bond) yields have fallen this year - the government can borrow for 10 years for around 1.9% pa - and so has assumed that low rates continue for longer than expected. It has also corrected a £3.9bn (by 2018-19) error in its model. These changes add up year on year until the end result is an underlying downward revision to the spending forecast of almost £18bn in 2018-19.
How did we get such a large structural deficit (amount we have to borrow each year, don't forget)? The financial crisis hit the economy hard and we lost a lot of output compared to what would have happened if things had been fine. If the economy had carried on growing at its previous trend rate, we would have no, or only a small, structural deficit. So while the economy is believed to be growing at 3% this year, output (and all the taxes that would have brought) is well below the pre 2008 trend.
The huge increase in borrowing after the crisis was not mainly due to the government increasing spending by its departments in 2008-10. It was due to much lower taxes and higher benefit spending as a result of the banking disaster and consequent recession. But now the OBR (and most economists) is saying, much of that tax revenue will not be regained (or at least, the economy will never get back to the pre 08 trend level) so the spending that revenue was supposed to fund is now part of the structural deficit.
What if the government had not permitted borrowing to rise so sharply? There would have been sharp spending cuts and tax rises at a time when people were losing their jobs and businesses were struggling to survive. It would have caused a Great Depression, an act of gross irresponsibility and callousness.

The dot SE country-specific domain name extension was established in 1986 and delegated to Sweden. During the first years after its introduction, the registration procedure was quite restrictive, so a very low number of domain names were purchased. Individuals were permitted to obtain only one domain under .PP.SE ("pp" stands for "private person"). Local presence was a necessity, i.e. only Swedish persons, firms and organizations were able to buy a .SE domain. In 2003, however, the registration process was liberalized notably and, as a consequence, the number of dot SE domains has been rising each year.
Nowadays, anybody can grab a .SE name, which allows you to get in touch with the Swedish WWW community even if you do not have a local presence. We are amongst the registrar companies that offer such domains, as they cannot be obtained directly from the Registry. We can also assist you with the registration process because the Registry needs specific documentation such as an ID for persons or a registration certificate for commercial entities. This is a one-time process, which will not be required for further renewals, and we can save you all the trouble by working with the Registry to get your .SE domain operational in no time.
The dot SE country-specific top-level domain is also among the domain extensions that can be used for the so-called "domain hacks", i.e. using a domain with a specific TLD to represent a word. A number of illustrations would be "ofcour.se", "endor.se", etc., so you can secure an interesting and easy-to-memorize domain name. Such a name will also be simple to share, which can boost the popularity of your site.
Our full-featured, yet easy-to-work-with Domain Manager can be used by both experienced web site owners and hosting rookies. It offers everything that you need in order to take care of a variety of domain names simultaneously from the exact same location. Your domains' DNS and WHOIS controls will be totally within your control.
The Domain Manager is, actually, an integral part of the Web Hosting Control Panel. Which means you will be in a position to manage not just your domain names, but, in addition your web sites, without actually logging out of the Control Panel, on the sole condition that you also have a hosting account with us.

A story of the very complicated demographics of small-town life.
"But I'm no country bumpkin, let me tell you.

Hence, the art school moving to Spencer. If you're wondering how a city gets on the list, it says on Relocate-America.com's website that theirs is the "only list that is determined by statistics and feedback of the people who live, work & play in these communities." So basically, they take in consideration both fact and opinion and process them in a secret formula to produce a totally non-biased ranking based not just on numbers but also on the enthusiasm of Real People Who Definitely Live There. This explains why we are only three slots down from San Francisco, California on the rankings, because we are definitely on par with a major metropolitan, ocean-bordering melting pot with a majority-minority population of close to a million people where it Doesn't Snow Ever; anyone who's ever been to Spencer, Iowa can attest to that."

Leesburg woman gives black eye to man friend who wasn't trying to better their situation
China Jordan
A Leesburg woman gave a man a black eye when she allegedly attacked him because he wasn't trying to better their situation.
A Leesburg police officer was dispatched to that location when a witness called 911 early in the afternoon of Nov. 17 at the intersection of South 14th Street and Sumter Street. The officer talked to the witness who said he saw a woman, later identified as 26-year-old China Jordan, arguing loudly with a man. The man turned and started walking away from Jordan who then attacked the man striking him several times in the head.
The officer spoke with the victim and observed that the man's left eye was swelling up as he talked to the victim. He could not say how many times he had been hit but that he was hit in the head and face.
When the officer made contact with Jordan she admitted to striking the man with her fists. She was in a relationship with the man and she was upset with the man not trying to better their situation. She said that she, "feels extremely violent when I see people not taking care of themselves." She told the officer that they don't have much and the victim isn't trying to better their situation.
Jordan was placed under arrest for domestic battery and was transported to the Lake County Jail where bond was set at $1,000.
