In the fall of 2014, Jeremy, Jake and I traveled around the East Coast for a month to film ACT (About Clinical Trials). ACT is a program created in collaboration with The American Cancer Society to empower people to understand cancer clinical trials and discuss this option with their doctors and loved ones. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to meet so many courageous patients, top notch doctors and film beautiful places. It was the openness and vulnerability of these people that made me fall in love with documentary filmmaking.

Why Should I Consider a Cancer Clinical Trial?
This video from the ACT program features patients and doctors who share their perspectives on why joining a cancer clinical trial may be an option worth considering at any point in ones' cancer journey.
How Will I Know if a Trial is Right for Me?
Patients, doctors, and patient advocates discuss the pros and cons of joining a cancer clinical trial.
How Should I Prepare for Discussions With My Doctor?
ACT offers guidance from doctors and patients about what questions people should be prepared to ask about cancer clinical trials.
What Standards Are in Place to Safeguard Trial Participants?
Doctors and patient rights advocates explain some of the procedures and regulations that protect patients' rights in cancer clinical trials.
This video from the ACT program explains what informed consent is (and isn't) from the perspective of patient rights advocates, patients, and doctors.
Where Can I Turn for Information and Support?
This video from the ACT program reinforces the role of the medical team, discusses the importance of a trusted caregiver, and recommends unbiased resources for information about cancer and cancer clinical trials.

Angústia é um romance publicado por Graciliano Ramos em 1936. Nesta época Graciliano estava preso pelo governo de Vargas e contou com ajuda de amigos, entre os quais José Lins do Rego, para a publicação.

A obra apresenta um narrador em primeira pessoa, Luís da Silva, funcionário público de 35 anos, solitário, desgostoso da vida e que acaba se envolvendo com sua vizinha, Marina. Com traços existencialistas, Luís mistura fatos do passado e do presente, narra num ritmo frenético, utilizando do fluxo de consciência.

O leitor de Angústia certamente se lembrará de Crime e Castigo, de Dostoiévski, pois em ambos há as angústias de um crime, o medo de ser pego, a febre; em Angústia o crime é o clímax, enquanto em Crime e Castigo é o ponto de partida para a história, e a personagem consegue a redenção. Outra influência marcante é a dos naturalistas brasileiros, especialmente à Aluízio Azevedo, o determinismo e a animalização do homem. O narrador não quer ser um rato, luta contra isso; compara-se o tempo todo os homens aos bichos, porcos, formigas, ratos, e usa-se verbos de animais para as reações humanas.

Crítica
Alfredo Bosi afirma que Angústia foi a experiência mais moderna e até certo ponto marginal de Graciliano Ramos e que "tudo nesse romance sufocante lembra o adjetivo 'degradado' que se apõe ao universo do herói problemático; estamos no limite entre o romance de tensão crítica e o romance intimista. Foi a experiência mais moderna, e até certo ponto marginal, de Graciliano. Mas a sua descendência na prosa brasileira está viva até hoje".

Apesar de ter lido Crime e Castigo de Dostoiévski, Ramos inicialmente recusou qualquer semelhança da obra com Angústia, em 12 de novembro de 1945, ele escreveu a Antonio Candido avaliando as considerações do crítico a respeito de Angústia:

Inicialmente Graciliano declara ter lido Dostoiévski, mas negou qualquer influência até as vésperas da morte, segundo seu filho Ricardo Ramos. Por fim, o autor reconhece ter sofrido influência de Dostoiévski, Tolstoi, Balzac e Zola e também seu permanente interesse pela literatura russa.

O próprio autor diz sobre a obra para Antonio Candido:

The juicy pomegranate seeds in Chicken Pomegranate Guac Tacos add tangy flavor, and research has shown they have more inflammation-fighting antioxidants than red wine or green tea.
Preheat grill pan over high heat. Coat chicken with olive oil spray; season with Mexican seasoning and salt. Grill 4–5 minutes per side; cut into bite-size cubes. In bowl, mash avocado with fork; stir in pomegranate seeds, juice from 1 lime, and minced garlic. On each of 4 plates, divide chicken and guacamole among 2 (6-inch) corn tortillas; top with 2 tablespoons sliced red onion, 1/4 cup shredded red cabbage, and 2 tablespoons crumbled low-fat queso fresco.
Normally I am a huge fan of pomegranate seeds, but they gave this a really weird texture. In addition, stirring the seeds into the avocado turned the guac an unappetizing shade of brown. I would make it again, only with leaving out the pomegranate!

Put These 5 Quotes on Your Wall Now
By Meredith Turits
Sometimes, you're lucky enough to be in a room that's charged with positive energy — the kind you want to stick in your pocket and carry around all day. At the 2014 WIE (Women: Inspiration and Enterprise) Symposium in New York on Sept. 19, speakers delivered that kind of vibe throughout the entire program while doling out advice and insight on everything from building a business to building a better you. Turns out that's what happens when you're in a room with people like Zosia Mamet, Cindy Gallop, Rachel Sklar, Debra Sterling, Alina Cho, and... well, I can go on, but I think you get the point.
During the panels, I heard some quotes that were the kind I'd want to remember and repeat to myself more than once (and, yes, OK, felt very Pinterest-worthy), and I couldn't help wanting to share them. This is the kind of stuff that goes on that corkboard above your desk, or is the sentence you reach for in that situation where you need one extra push.
Below, check out some words from some very smart and successful ladies — hopefully their insight will spark you the same way it hit me at WIE.
On being a more confident you all the time...
—Gabrielle Bernstein, author and motivational speaker
On walking into a job interview with the right attitude...
—Amy Odell, Editor, Cosmoplitan.com
On taking risks when you're afraid to...
—Cindy Gallop, advertising executive
(One more gem from Cindy: She said to ask yourself, "WWASWGD?": What would a straight, white guy do? Hot damn.)
On doing what you love...
—Zosia Mamet, actress
On how to make your mark...
—Amy Odell

In 2012 we were introduced to Jacque and Cloris Teguel who are working among the muslim community in Dakar, a city in the western-African country of Senegal. With the offering we were blessed to give, we were able to help the Teguel family with a new gas stove, a set of living room furniture, regular monthly support as well as funds to visit Dakar in early 2013. We are all so excited about what God is doing in Dakar. Our friends at St. Peter Presbyterian Church in Virginia lead us to the Teguels, who they also support, and we will be working together to further this inner-city ministry.
The Teguels are from Camaroon and felt called to leave their country and bring the Gospel to this area which is 95% Muslim. They currently have a small group of believers who meet with them each week and we pray God would make them fruitful in all their work.
To the right are some photos of Jacques and Cloris – their old cook top and their new stove as well as their old couch and their new living room set.


Lavender is one of these almost magical, seductive plants: some say it soothes headaches and relaxes the body, others prefer it as an infusion. In a village in south France, I even found lavender syrup – to be mixed with water or put on top of pancakes (!) the lavender grower explained. While I love the sight of my lavender bouquet on my desk and I enjoy it's delicate perfume, call me square but lavender is not something I enjoy tasting.
However, I remember how my mother always used to put lavender flowers in the laundry closet and me and my sister would love to sleep in the clean, lavender scented sheets. For practical reasons I prefer lavender in sachets: on one hand because it makes less of a mess and on the other because the dried lavender flowers release their perfume when pressed. Should you want to give your laundry closed a boost of perfume just squeeze the sachet 🙂 Fun!
This is a quick and rewarding project: you need just a few minutes to make it and you can enjoy it immediately: you can put it in your closet, under you pillow, in a hot bathtub or you could embroider a word or a name on the sachet and give it as a gift to someone close to you.
First cut a fabric rectangle. Choose a natural fabric with a plain weave to allow the fragrance to dissolve in the air. Sew a hem on one of the sides of the fabric rectangle.
Then fold in half and sew the other two sides together.
Turn outside out and sew a thin ribbon.
Put the lavender inside and tie the ribbon.
If you want, you can tie in the outside knot a few lavender flowers. Make a bow. You're done!

Big I/O for Big Oil: Perspectives from the Rice Oil & Gas Workshop
March 7, 2013 by Cray 1 Comment
A number of Cray folks attended the Rice Oil & Gas workshop in Houston last Thursday, February 28. It was incredible visiting such an influential group of energy leaders. Most of the major US oil & gas companies and service providers were there.
The morning keynote was presented by Dirk Smit, VP of Exploration Technology and Chief Scientist Geophysics, Innovation and R&D, at Shell. In the keynote, Compute Challenges to Meet Future Energy Demands, he stated that supplying the world's water and food will become progressively critical. According to the LA Times, we're adding more than 70 million people a year to the planet. Supplying water and food to them will demand new research and investments.
In upstream oil & gas exploration, a big challenge today is storing, processing, and interpreting seismic data. There is so much data, the big challenge is visualizing and transforming the data into useful information.
People often think of Cray in the context of supercomputers. What's less known is that we also deliver massively scalable storage solutions for upstream oil & gas exploration. Workflows for data acquisition, processing, and interpretation of seismic and full wavefield inversion (FWI) create tremendous amounts of data. These workflows are well-suited to Cray's storage offerings. The storage I/O demands are growing such that parallel file systems and interconnects are being pushed to the max (often obviating the use of traditional SAN or NAS) for primary "close to compute" workflows.
In the future, according to Smit, data may need to move closer to compute. He used the analogy of data being like raisons in a compute cake. The data and I/O simply needs to be there. Available and accessible when needed—without the latency of retrieval. Today IO is separated by networks—IP, fiber channel, InfiniBand, for example. Smit questions the viability of current network-attached models for storage IO. Will they be fast enough to handle the upstream exploration workloads of the future?
At Cray we consider these storage and big data challenges in the context of Excascale. Storing and protecting really big data sets—as immediately accessible—requires new architectures to dispatch the right storage IO depending on the application. Today we talk about "Big I/O". Fast forward to tomorrow's architectures, where Cray systems will dispatch data to compute in real-time based on application or code need. One building block technology for achieving near-real-time I/O across heterogeneous file systems is Cray Data Virtualization Services.
One of the most entertaining and informative speakers of the day was John Kuzan, Manager for ExxonMobil's Upstream Research business. In Kuzan's afternoon keynote, Kuzan said he expects performance—and that his HPC systems are accessible and adaptable. Kuzan does not want to have to call an HPC specialist to get work done. Years ago, proprietary systems often required a specialist to assist. Today, Kuzan can remote in from his PDA, update models on the fly, and his team can do more on their own.
Another speaker was Bill Kramer, Deputy Project Director for the NCSA Blue Waters project at the University of Illinois. In Kramer's presentation, he discussed how the NCSA Blue Waters project uses Cray for compute storage. The open Cray Linux Environment (CLE) uses Fortran, C, C++, Python, and UPC for a broad range of codes and applications. The platform is completely open and adaptable—supporting a broad range of compilers, debuggers, I/O libraries, tools, and workloads. For storage, Cray packages these data management tools externally in a development platform (esLogin).
At Blue Waters, they're using Cray Sonexion to store over 26 petabytes of usable storage. 23 petabytes are in a single Lustre file system. This is online storage, with aspects converging on nearline. Keeping the data on disk is also important for accessibility. Although the systems supports a massive tape archive, users prefer not to wait for data to be retrieved from tape.
Kuzan said ExxonMobil constantly evolves their upstream research business. It's incredible how far Exxon has come and were they're going.
Some of this evolution is tracked in their corporate magazine, The Lamp. An interesting factoid about The Lamp, according to Kuzan, is the name: The Lamp was named in honor of the switch from whale oil to petroleum for fueling household lighting lamps in the mid-1800's. It's a good read. Check out ExxonMobil's latest edition of The Lamp. Cray is mentioned in the context of seismic and FWI.
Jason Goodman says
Cray finally has a solution to Dr Dirk Smit's layer cake analogy. We call it Cray DataWarp.

Trump also warned that if China takes retaliatory action against US farmers or industries, "we will immediately pursue phase three, which is tariffs on approximately $267bn of additional imports".
Trump said the tariffs aim to force a change in Chinese trade policies that he said posed "a grave threat to the long-term health and prosperity of the United States economy".
China had previously vowed to retaliate further against any new US tariffs, with state-run media arguing for an aggressive "counterattack".
The escalation of Trump's tariffs on China comes after talks between the world's two largest economies to resolve their trade differences have produced no results. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin invited top Chinese officials to a new round of talks last week, but thus far nothing has been scheduled.
"This is not an effort to constrain China, but this is an effort to work with China and say, 'It's time you address these unfair trade practices that we've identified that others have identified and that have harmed the entire trading system,'" the official said.
China's yuan currency has weakened by about six percent against the US dollar since mid-June, offsetting the 10 percent tariff rate by a considerable margin.
The US Trade Representative's office eliminated about 300 product categories from the proposed tariff list, along with some subsets of other categories, but administration officials said the total value of the revised list would still be "approximately $200 billion".
"President Trump's decision to impose an additional $200bn is reckless and will create lasting harm to communities across the country," said Dean Garfield, president of the Information Technology Industry Council, which represents major tech firms.
"We are ready to negotiate and talk with China any time that they are ready for serious and substantive negotiations towards free trade, to reduce tariffs and non tariff barriers, to open markets and allow the most competitive economy in the world – ours – to export more and more goods and services to China," Kudlow said.

RODERICK RANDOM: Can't know your Caseys without scorecard
BY RODERICK RANDOM / Published: July 13, 2019
For the first time in almost 30 years, a guy named Bob Casey lost an election in Lackawanna County.
In the May primary election, former Scranton School Director Bob Casey, the older former school director with the same name, lost the Democratic county controller nomination contest to incumbent Gary DiBileo.
You see, a political brand name doesn't always guarantee success.
As others have said of this primary election, voters really paid attention.
DiBileo did a good job of making sure everyone knew his opponent wasn't U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, who has a long election winning streak.
We won't accuse Bob Casey the former school director of trying to take advantage of the Casey name. As this Bob Casey said before the primary, people know him and his son, Robert Casey, who resigned his school board seat in January after winning election twice.
The father, Bob Casey, 66, first won a school board race in 1979, the vintage era for electing people named Bob Casey, but not the one everyone here remembers best.
That would be attorney Robert P. Casey Sr. of Scranton, whose work as a state senator, auditor general and governor honed his name's fine reputation.
The Real Bob Casey.
Robert P. Casey Sr. ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination for governor against Milton Shapp in 1966 and 1970, won election as state auditor general in 1968 and 1972, lost the Democratic nomination for governor in 1978, finally won for governor on his fourth try in 1986 and won re-election in 1990.
By the time Robert P. Casey Sr. ran for governor in 1978, state government already had a Robert Casey in a state elected row office.
As his second term as auditor general wound down in December 1975, Robert P. Casey Sr. declined to run for state treasurer in 1976. So another Robert Casey did.
The same day Robert P. Casey Sr. said he wouldn't run for treasurer, Cambria County Recorder of Deeds Robert E. Casey talked about running himself with a Harrisburg bar owner, Johnny Durbin, according to a United Press International story from back then.
"Durbin said, 'You know, you would have a good chance this year. Why don't you put the $50 into a nominating petition and make a run for it,' " Robert E. Casey told a UPI reporter.
He ran for state treasurer as a Democrat and won by more than 254,000 votes.
Obviously, the auditor general had polished the name.
As Scranton's Robert P. Casey Sr. ran for governor in 1978, he faced Pittsburgh Mayor Pete Flaherty and two others in the Democratic primary.
In Pennsylvania, voters nominate lieutenant governor candidates separately. What happened in the Democratic lieutenant governor race turned into a raging dispute.
Another Robert P. Casey, a high school biology teacher who lived in Penn Hills, Allegheny County, ran for the Democratic lieutenant governor nomination.
The former auditor general from Scranton lost the primary to Flaherty by almost 130,000 votes. The Penn Hills Robert P. Casey won the lieutenant governor nomination by almost 128,000 votes.
"Everyone has a right to run," said Margi Casey McGrath, the oldest child of Scranton's Robert P. Casey. "It was frustrating, though, because it was a clearly a case of mistaken identity."
A newspaper editor she met on the campaign trail mentioned that if Flaherty won, her father could still win the number two spot because he was running for both offices, which wasn't true, she said.
"People really did believe they were voting for him (her father) and were voting for the other person," Casey McGrath said.
The Real Bob Casey, as he billed himself in the 1986 gubernatorial campaign, and his family suspected Flaherty foul play. Penn Hills' Robert P. Casey went to high school with Flaherty's brother, Jim, the chairman of the Allegheny County commissioners. Penn Hills' Casey denied Flaherty put him up to running.
"I get angry when people say that," he told the Pittsburgh Press at the time. "I did this on my own."
Penn Hills' Casey ran on a strong anti-abortion platform and had a wife named Margie, according to the Pittsburgh Press. Besides a daughter with a similar first name, Robert P. Casey Sr. of Scranton later gained great renown opposing abortion.
A pleased Flaherty said a Flaherty-Casey ticket sounded better than a Casey-Casey ticket, but it lost in the fall to Republican Dick Thornburgh, whose lieutenant governor running mate was William W. Scranton III.
Unknown to many, another Bob Casey lost in that primary, too. Robert J. Casey lost a Democratic contest for an Allegheny County congressional seat to incumbent Rep. Doug Walgren by a more than 3 to 1 margin.
The next year, 1979, the Scranton Bob Casey who lost to DiBileo this year won his first city school board race. He won again in 1983 and 1987 before losing in 1991.
In 1980, Robert E. Casey the treasurer faced re-election. He easily won the Democratic primary, but lost to Republican R. Budd Dwyer that fall.
Though the other Bob Caseys frustrated the Casey family, Margi Casey McGrath said all their political success contributed to her father's decision to run for governor a fourth time.
"Something's right about this name," her father said.
The Real Bob Casey finally broke through and narrowly defeated Lt. Gov. William W. Scranton to become governor. He won a landslide re-election in 1990, the same year Walgren lost to another guy from Penn Hills who figured in a Bob Casey's future, Rick Santorum.
In 1996, the governor's son, Robert P. Casey Jr., took advantage of his father's good name and won election as auditor general. He won re-election in 2000 but lost the 2002 Democratic primary for governor to Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell (whom his father defeated in the 1986 Democratic gubernatorial primary).
In 2004, Casey Jr. ran for state treasurer as his auditor general term ended and won with the largest vote in state history.
Two years later, he beat the Penn Hills guy named Santorum to win a U.S. Senate seat. Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr., known best now as Bob Casey, won re-election in 2012 against a Republican with a most generic name, Tom Smith, and in 2018 against Hazleton's former mayor, Lou Barletta.
This year, Allison Barletta, Barletta's cousin, ran for his old job. She lost the Republican primary to incumbent Mayor Jeff Cusat.
As the Bob Caseys proved, political brand names have their limits.

"Well Met in the House of the Rose" The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower
Stephen King, The Dark Tower
"We'll go," he said. "We'll find the Dark Tower, and nothing will stand against us, and before we go in, we'll speak their names. All of the lost."
"Your list will be longer than mine," xxx said, "but mine will be long enough."
(Name withheld to prevent spoilers!)
And so, at last, I have arrived at the end. The clearing at the end of the path. The conclusion of Stephen King's monumental magnum opus, The Dark Tower. Seven books written over the span of over thirty years, which I have spent the last year-or-so reading. (I read the first three novels last summer, book four last fall, and the final three novels over the course of this past summer.)
Long-form stories like this (whether one is talking about novels, movies, or TV shows) rise or fall, ultimately, on the strength of their ending. (For five wonderful seasons, I would have told you that Lost was one of the greatest television series ever made. Then that disastrously terrible final season destroyed almost every ounce of my affection for the show. Conversely, for five seasons I felt that Babylon 5 was an entertaining but fairly mediocre sci-fi TV show. But the incredible, heartbreaking final episode was so good that it somehow elevated, in my mind, all that had come before.)
I will admit that, as I approached the seventh and final book in the Dark Tower series, I was a bit nervous. Book VI, Song of Susannah, while still enjoyable, had nevertheless been my least-favorite book in the series to that point. It felt to me like the narrative was spinning its proverbial wheels, and with so much story as-yet unresolved as I began book VII, I wondered how Mr. King could possibly tie up all of the myriad dangling story-threads. I also couldn't quite conceive of what the resolution of the Gunslinger's life-long journey towards the Dark Tower could be. At the start of book VII I, as a reader, had not much more idea than Roland himself as to what exactly the Dark Tower was, and what Roland might find there should he actually be able to enter the tower and climb to the highest room, as was his proclaimed goal. The tower was so mysterious, and the source of so much speculation on my part (and, I'm sure, the part of every other reader ever to make his or her way through this saga), that I began to fear that any resolution couldn't possibly live up to all of that anticipation.
Well, Mr. King, I cry your pardon. I should never have doubted.
The Dark Tower Book VII: The Dark Tower is a magnificent conclusion to the saga, everything I might have hoped for and more. It is thrilling and devastatingly heartbreaking, a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to this epic saga and, even more than that, one of the greatest novels I have ever read.
Big words? I stand by them. The novel is so good that it makes me want to start the whole series over again right now.
Where Song of Susannah felt slight, The Dark Tower feels like three or four novels stuffed into one. The book is mammoth, and so filled with plot that, as I got towards the end of the novel, I found it hard to believe that the events I'd read in the book's first two hundred pages or so had actually occurred in the same novel. Story-lines that had begun all the way back in the first book come together beautifully. Long-standing questions are answered, and so many characters and story-points I had thought long-forgotten are referenced or brought back in a major way. (I was so happy to see a certain character from Wizard and Glass again!!)
I found myself quite satisfied with the resolutions given to each of the character's in Roland's ka-tet. Not every story has a happy ending, oh no. When the tet shatters, as one knew it ultimately would, it is heartbreaking. And while I was saddened by the tragic event that happens to the tet mid-novel, in the town called Algul Siento, it's what comes later, on a street in Maine, that I found even more devastating. (Not to mention the events of the approach to the scarlet fields of Can'-Ka No Rey.) The entire second-half of this novel packed an emotional wallop that I was completely unprepared for. It was a wrenching experience, and there were times when I quite literally did not want to turn the page, because I feared what I would read in the words to follow. All of this is a testament to Stephen King's magnificent skill as a writer and a story-teller, and to the incredible bonds that readers built up with his characters over the course of this series. And to return to my original point, while there is much sorrow and grief in the denouement of the saga, the resolutions to the stories of all of the beloved characters all felt somehow RIGHT to me. That's an intangible thing, but so critical in bringing a series like this to a close.
As stuffed with circumstance as this novel is, I was pleased that Mr. King somehow still found time for some wonderful digressions (such as our peek into the life of Pimli Prentiss, the master of Algul Siento) and to introduce and develop some fascinating new characters (such as Ted Brautigan — though apparently he's one of many Dark Tower characters who has an origin in a different story by Stephen King — and Patrick Danville). This novel is filled to the brim with characters and ideas, and even here at the end of this extraordinarily lengthy saga I found myself wanting to spend more time with these characters, to learn more about their histories and the many secret corners of this incredible fantasy world. (Worlds, actually!) I don't mean to suggest that I felt that things were left unsatisfactorily unresolved, just that there was so much life in this saga, even here at the end, that I would have happily read several more books in the series! (Though the fun thing is that apparently the Dark Tower saga spread its tendrils into many other of Mr. King's novels. So while the Dark Tower books are over, I find myself eager to read The Stand to learn more about Randall Flagg; 'Salem's Lot to read more about Pere Callahan; Low Men in Yellow Coats to read more about Ted Brautigan, and on and on.)
And, in fact, the Dark Tower saga isn't really over at all! Though all of the characters' stories reach very definite conclusions in book VII, Mr. King recently announced that next year will see the publication of an eighth Dark Tower book: The Wind Through the Keyhole, set in between Wizard and Glass (Book IV) and Wolves of the Calla (Book V). And I have high hopes that even that novel will not be the end. I dream, as an example, of one day reading the story of the founding of the Tet corporation. Stephen King himself gave me the idea that this would make an excellent novel, as in the section in which Roland meets Moses Carver (Susannah's godfather and guardian), we read: "These three men — Carver, Cullum and Deepneau — had come together, almost magically, to fight for the rose in their old age. Their tale, the gunslinger believed, would make a book in itself, very likely a fine and exciting one." I agree! I hope to read it some day!
But, for now, I am completely satisfied, satiated and content, with having reached the end of this journey towards the Dark Tower. Stephen King set out to craft an epic saga on par with The Lord of the Rings, and I would argue that, by every measure I can bring to bear, he succeeded. I am confident that this is a series that — like the very best of fantasy and science fiction, sagas like Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Asimov's Foundation, and Frank Herbert's Dune — I shall relish returning to many times in the future. I can't wait.
Can you give me hallelujah?
Thankee-sai.
Now somebody yell me a big old God-bomb amen.

Introduction. Graves' disease (MGB) is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in children and adolescents. This condition is more common in girls than boys, in a ratio of about 5:1. The coexistence of Graves' disease (MGB) with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is not common. Much more often GHD connects with hypothyroidism. Case report. We present the case of 13-year old female patient with Graves' disease, diagnosed at 10 years of age and growth hormone deficiency, which was confirmed at the age of 12. Currently, the girl was qualified to growth hormone therapy. Conclusions. 1) Described by our case is interesting because of the rarity of coexistence Graves' disease with growth hormone deficiency. 2) GH deficiency often accompanies hypothyroidism. Note, however, that hyperthyroidism may be associated with short stature in the course of growth hormone deficiency. 3) The coexistence of endocrine disorders in childhood is not uncommon, so the diagnosis of one disease entity should not exclude further observation for the presence of other endocrine disorders.

A Tribute to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
UnderCover presented by YBCA |
February 16–18, 2017
Clas/sick Hip Hop →
Fifteen Bay Area ensembles pay homage to Grammy award–winning, iconic artist Lauryn Hill, lending their unique, creative voices to songs from her timeless soul and hip hop album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Reinterpreting the classic record from start to finish, they create a musical cross-pollination ranging from jazz undertones, hip hop, Latin rhythms, and high-energy. UnderCover Presents: A Tribute to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill reflects on gender in unique ways while also responding to ongoing curatorial inquiries into the viability of hip hop at a contemporary arts center. We ask ourselves how we can embrace its rapidly changing form as it takes new shape across the domestic landscape and is transposed within international bodies. Clas/sick Hip Hop is our vehicle.
This year, Clas/sick Hip Hop, explores gender norms in hip hop culture, celebrating the presence and impact of femininity in a subculture that has historically been characterized by hyper-masculinity and violence. Dance performance Opposing Forces, with artist Amy O'Neal, responds to society's binary frameworks through dance styles like breaking and cyphering. UnderCover Presents: A Tribute to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, spotlights the work of the iconic artist whose first solo album shaped a woman's perspective on everything from relationships to life in the hood, in a genre and industry dominated by men. Sixteen Bay Area ensembles pay homage to the Grammy award–winning iconic artist by lending their unique, creative voices to the classic songs we know and love. Be there for the return of Clas/sick Hip Hop. Move and be moved.

During the 2008 presidential election President Barack Obama had a clear lead over of his former and current presidential opponent Mitt Romney. However, that does not appear to be the case based on the current polls for the upcoming 2012 elections. As reports have come in over the past few weeks result show Romney either trailing President Obama by a mere 3-5% or Romney surpassing the president on the current campaign trail.
Mitt Romney introduces Paul Ryan to America. Ever since Mitt Romney announced his running mate Paul Ryan to Americans on August 11th, 2012 polls have been increasing more in Romney's favor. It appears that Republican Paul Ryan is not only popular among women but also the younger generation. With more and more 18-25 year old voting than ever this appears to have a positive effect of Mitt Romeny's quest to relieve President Barack Obama from his current seat as President of the United States. The question being raised is, Is Ryan's youth what American are looking for? It seems like the answer to that question is leaning more to yes rather than no.
Only time will tell whether or not Mitt Romney made the right choice in choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate for the 2012 elections and whether President Obama will be the first president in many terms not to be re-elected to serve a second term in office. Another question could be posed.

Tran says she never expected such a drawn-out fight and that in hindsight the couple could have taken the money they've spent on the treehouse, gone somewhere else and built an actual house.
It's still costing the couple. They're accumulating a $50 a day fine for not taking down the treehouse, a fine that's now tens of thousands of dollars.
Tran says she's afraid to think about it. Until the high court acts, she's enjoying the treehouse on sunny days, meditating there or napping in a hammock. The couple doesn't have any children of their own enjoying the treehouse and renters aren't allowed up for liability reasons, but Tran says guests and beachgoers often admire the structure.
"It's kind of fun to have around," she said.
If the treehouse ultimately has to go, there's a lurking irony for the couple. To take down the structure, they'll need the one thing they didn't have before they began putting it up: a city permit.

U.S. Citizen May Be Targeted With Drone Strike: Reports
Published February 10, 2014 at 10:11 AM PST
A U.S. drone in the sky over Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan.
"An American citizen who is a member of al-Qaida is actively planning attacks against Americans overseas, U.S. officials say, and the Obama administration is wrestling with whether to kill him with a drone strike and how to do so legally under its new stricter targeting policy issued last year," those officials tell The Associated Press.
The wire service writes that "four U.S. officials said the American suspected terrorist is in a country that refuses U.S. military action on its soil and that has proved unable to go after him."
The Washington Post, which has followed up on the AP report, writes that "U.S. officials" it has spoken with "said that no decision has been reached on whether to add the alleged operative to the administration's kill list, a step that would require Justice Department approval under new counterterrorism guidelines adopted by President Obama last year."
CNN writes that a senior U.S. official says "high-level discussions" are under way about "staging an operation to kill an American citizen involved with al-Qaida and suspected of plotting attacks against the United States."
That network adds that the official "declined to disclose any specific information about the target or the country the suspect presides in."
The Post writes that "U.S. officials have not revealed the identify of the alleged operative, or the country where he is believed to be located, citing concern that disclosing those details would send him deeper into hiding and prevent a possible drone strike."
The AP says it "has agreed to the government's request to withhold the name of the country where the suspected terrorist is believed to be because officials said publishing it could interrupt ongoing counterterror operations."
One year ago, the Justice Department drew up a "white paper" defining when it believes an American citizen overseas can and cannot be the target of a U.S. drone strike. As NPR's Carrie Johnson reported last February, "the document says the U.S. doesn't need clear evidence of a specific attack to strike." The definition of what poses an imminent threat appears to be "a little stretchy, like a rubber band," she added. She also said that the memo makes the case that the U.S. government "doesn't have to try all that hard to capture someone" if they are in another country and trying to grab them would be an "undue burden."
Three months later, in May 2013, President Obama said in a policy address that:
"I do not believe it would be constitutional for the government to target and kill any U.S. citizen — with a drone, or with a shotgun — without due process, nor should any president deploy armed drones over U.S. soil.
"But when a U.S. citizen goes abroad to wage war against America and is actively plotting to kill U.S. citizens, and when neither the United States, nor our partners are in a position to capture him before he carries out a plot, his citizenship should no more serve as a shield than a sniper shooting down on an innocent crowd should be protected from a SWAT team."
Continuing, Obama spoke about the Sept. 2011 drone strike in Yemen that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen. Awlaki, said the president:
"Was continuously trying to kill people. He helped oversee the 2010 plot to detonate explosive devices on two U.S.-bound cargo planes. He was involved in planning to blow up an airliner in 2009. When Farouk Abdulmutallab — the Christmas Day bomber — went to Yemen in 2009, Awlaki hosted him, approved his suicide operation, helped him tape a martyrdom video to be shown after the attack, and his last instructions were to blow up the airplane when it was over American soil. I would have detained and prosecuted Awlaki if we captured him before he carried out a plot, but we couldn't. And as president, I would have been derelict in my duty had I not authorized the strike that took him out."
Today's reports about what the Obama administration is said to be debating prompted this statement from the American Civil Liberties Union's Hina Shamsi:
"The government's killing program has gone far beyond what the law permits, and it is based on secret evidence and legal interpretations. The targeted killing of an American being considered right now shows the inherent danger of a killing program based on vague and shifting legal standards, which has made it disturbingly easy for the government to operate outside the law. The fact that the government is relying so heavily on limited and apparently unreliable intelligence only heightens our concerns about a disastrous program in which people have been wrongly killed and injured. Today's revelations come as the administration continues to fight against even basic transparency about the thousands of people who have died in this lethal program, let alone accountability for the wrongful killings of U.S. citizens."
Monday's reports come the same day as new details about how data the National Security Agency gathers during its surveillance of telephone and Internet traffic are then allegedly used to locate those who are the targets of drone strikes.
The Washington Post reported last October about that link from the NSA's work to the drone strikes. Today, a new website — The Intercept — writes that the NSA "is using complex analysis of electronic surveillance, rather than human intelligence, as the primary method to locate targets for lethal drone strikes." The Intercept bases that reporting on information provided by "a former drone operator for the military's Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) who also worked with the NSA. ... His account is bolstered by top-secret NSA documents previously provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden."
The Intercept is the debut online site from First Look Media. Its editors include Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, two of the journalists who broke the Snowden leaks last summer.

Are you trying to watch a video using the AV1 codec, but it won't play on Windows 10? That's because you don't have the required codec. Here's how to get it for free.
Developed by the Alliance for Open Media, the AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an emerging free and open source video codec designed specifically to become the next standard for video streaming over the internet.
A lot of companies, such as Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Mozilla, are already behind this project, and it's expected to replace Google's VP9 codec and take over the costly HEVC/H.265 codec.
Although there isn't a lot of content encoded with AV1, if you want to stay ahead of the curve, or you came across a video using the new codec, and you can't watch it, Microsoft is already making available an extension for Windows 10 to play AV1 videos on your device.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to add AV1 codec support to your device running the latest October 2018 Update (version 1809) or later.
Search for AV1 Video Extension, and click the result.
Once you've completed the steps, there are no additional steps that you need to take. The next time you come across a video using the AV1 codec, as a file or on the web, Windows 10 will be able to play the video using the Movies & TV app or in Microsoft Edge.
This is an early preview of the codec for Windows 10, which means that hiccups and performance issues are expected. If you install the package now, and your device is configured to receive updates for apps automatically, future releases of the codec will install automatically.
In the case that you no longer need the playback codec, you can remove the extension on Settings > Apps > Apps & features, select AV1 Video Extension, and then click the Uninstall button.

Encontro Irmandiño (nombre gallego que significa Encuentro Hermandino) es una organización que forma parte del partido político Anova-Irmandade Nacionalista y que anteriormente estuvo integrada en el Bloque Nacionalista Galego como corriente interna.

Historia
El Encontro Irmandiño fue fundado como corriente interna del Bloque Nacionalista Galego (BNG) el 21 de julio de 2007 en una reunión en Santiago de Compostela. Encabezado por Xosé Manuel Beiras, defiende una vuelta a los principios fundacionales del BNG, como la democracia interna, el asamblearismo y la comunicación fluida entre los estamentos de la organización. Tiene unos documentos de base que guían su trabajo político.

En la XIIAsamblea Nacional del BNG, celebrada en Santiago de Compostela el 2 y 3 de diciembre de 2006, la lista propugnada por el Encontro Irmandiño consiguió nueve de los cincuenta miembros del Consejo Nacional y tres en la Ejecutiva Nacional. Fue la segunda lista en número de votos, con 449 (17,09%). Tras perder sus candidatos (Xosé Manuel Beiras y Carlos Aymerich) y su candidatura (en alianza con Máis Galiza, CS, PNG, EN, Inzar, UG y EGS) en la XIII Asamblea del BNG, el Encontro Irmandiño convocó una Asamblea Nacional Extraordinaria el 12 de febrero de 2012 en el recinto ferial de Amio, en la que decidió abandonar el BNG.

El 14 de marzo de 2012 el Encontro Irmandiño anunció que había empezado a contactar con otras pequeñas formaciones de cara a la creación de una plataforma electoral, entre las que estarían Máis Galiza, Esquerda Nacionalista, el Espazo Ecosocialista Galego, Nova Esquerda Socialista, Frente Popular Galega (FPG), Partido Comunista do Povo Galego (PCPG), Movemento pola Base (MpB), Causa Galiza, Fronte Obreira Galega (FOGA) (creado por exsindicalistas de la CIG), Nacionalistas de Marín y un pequeño sector escindido del PSOE de Vigo. Dicha plataforma, que tendría el nombre temporal de Novo Proxecto Común, daría lugar al nuevo partido político Anova-Irmandade Nacionalista.

Paul Marinaro gives an unusual Father's Day gift, in jazz
By Howard Reich and Howard Reich
(Photo courtesy of Paul Marinaro)
Joseph Marinaro had a dream: He was going to be a great singer, like his heroes Frank Sinatra and Mario Lanza.
But the talented young crooner from Buffalo, N.Y., got married and had 10 kids, set aside his musical ambitions and laid asphalt to support his family.
Now, several decades later, the youngest of that brood – the formidable Chicago singer Paul Marinaro – has fulfilled his father's promise in a most unusual way. Indirectly, the younger Marinaro has realized his dad's dream, producing a stunning debut album, "Without a Song." The plushness of Marinaro's baritone and the acuity of his interpretations of classic American repertoire hint at what might have been for his father.
But Paul Marinaro has made the link to his father's aspirations even more explicit, digging up his dad's long-lost, self-made, 78 r.p.m. recordings and elegantly interweaving snippets of them into "Without a Song." To hear his father's ghostly, grainy old tracks dovetailing with his own lustrous, state-of-the-art cuts is to behold two generations communing through time and space in a language they share: music.
How fitting that Paul Marinaro is releasing "Without a Song" this Father's Day week, with a celebratory performance Wednesday night at the Jazz Showcase, his father and mother flying in from Buffalo for the big event.
When Joseph Marinaro, 85, first heard this music, "I couldn't hold myself from crying out loud," he says, speaking by phone from Buffalo. "It's a marvelous thing to (hear) something that was put away. I had to put it away because I had too much to do. ... I didn't get mad at God because that's the process of life: We go from young to old, and we take on a lot of things that we don't particularly care for."
But even as a child, Paul Marinaro knew that his father's music had meaning, that it shouldn't have been discarded or forgotten. Which is why when he was 5 or 6 years old and saw something awful happening to his father's old records, he had to act.
"I watched my brothers throw all of them in the garbage – I was horrified and I pulled them out," says Marinaro, 39, realizing in that instant that his siblings did not understand what their dad was all about.
Joseph Marinaro "seemed like a man who was stuck doing something he wasn't meant to do, and I knew that as a kid," says Paul Marinaro. "It was a very physically exhausting job, he didn't have the best equipment, and I always thought he wasn't meant to do this. And he would get bitter. …
"I think my brothers might have picked up on some of that negativity. … There was a bit of: 'What good was that stuff? It didn't get him anywhere.' They couldn't see it, and I could."

Flash forward a few decades, and Paul Marinaro – who moved to Chicago 10 years ago to launch his career as a singer – became increasingly obsessed with those old acetate discs, which he had lost track of. When his father suffered a stroke on the night Marinaro was making his Chicago singing debut, a decade ago, the young man realized more clearly than ever that time was passing quickly.
He eventually located the old friend he suspected might still have the recordings – they were stored in a piece of recording equipment he had lent her, tucked inside an old sweatshirt. But when Marinaro got the discs back, he was shattered by how much they had deteriorated: They were badly warped and "flaking away," says Marinaro, making them virtually unplayable.
Marinaro discovered, however, that he could retrieve the music locked into those grooves by spinning the acetates at 16 r.p.m. – instead of the 78 r.p.m. at which his father made them on a record-cutter he had bought at age 17 (at the then-exorbitant price of $275). Marinaro and technicians then poured this "audio soup" into a computer and used various editing programs to delete pops, clicks, hisses, scratches and what-not.
Finally, they arrived at a haunting echo of what Joseph Marinaro sounded like as a hopeful young singer more than half a century ago.
Yet it's what Marinaro and friends have done with these ancient sounds that proves so deeply moving. The album opens with the scratchy tones of a teen-aged Joseph Marinaro singing "That Old Black Magic," the hope and buoyancy of his vocals expressed in the murky technology of 1947. After about a minute-and-a-half of these historic sounds, the album segues into the younger Marinaro picking up the same tune, his voice sumptuous and luxuriant, the son answering the father.

Later on in the recording – after Paul Marinaro delivers evocative readings of "Fools Rush In," "Everything Must Change" and other songs of his father's era – we hear a disarming duet pairing a vintage, cassette recording of Joseph Marinaro with a contemporary one of Paul Marinaro in "You Will Be My Music." But unlike, say, Natalie Cole's somewhat creepy duet with her dead father on "Unforgettable," the Marinaros' partnership sounds fresh, urgent and very much alive. The two artists phrase quite differently, and there's no attempt to make their melodies line up precisely.
"I wanted to give the listener the sense of hearing two singers in two different times, with two different technologies," says Paul Marinaro, whose story is the subject of a documentary film in the making. "It wasn't about trickery and perfectly matching. It was: This is all we have – unfortunately, he was never recorded professionally, but it's still important."
Perhaps not surprisingly, considering Paul Marinaro's gifts, his father sounds quite good, singing with conviction, warmth and dramatic insight.
How bold of the younger Marinaro to pack this much storyline, as well as technological creativity, into a debut album.
"In a day and age where everybody is downloading things, there's no such thing as an album anymore," says Marinaro. "I wanted to do a real concept album – and give people the feeling of what those old acetate recordings were like."

Marinaro clearly has done that, and something more, too. For in addition to creating his first album, documenting one of the most beautiful vocal instruments in the business today, he has said a great deal about the nature of family, of fathers and sons, and of how music can bind them.
His father "always carried a bittersweet connection to music," says Marinaro. "I think he's accepted the path that he took, and he's proud of his life and his kids, (yet) he always wonders: 'What if?'
"And while I still have him , I wanted to show him how important he was. That my connection to the Great American Songbook was a priceless gift (from him)."
To Joseph Marinaro, hearing himself in his youth – and belatedly duetting with his son on CD – "is like coming alive again," he says.
"A lot of times I watch that movie ('On the Waterfront,' in which Marlon Brando says), 'I could've been a contender.'

Cauliflower, we meet again. If you've read my last post on cauliflower then you will know it is not my favourite vegetable. Growing up it was one of those dishes, alongside beans, that if I didn't eat it I couldn't have homemade sausages (my mother was very strategic in her meal planning). And if you've ever had my family's sausages, they are pretty damn delicious.
I grew up eating pretty much everything my mother made, except for mushrooms. I just hated the texture for whatever reason. My mother was always the type that would cook something and say "eat it, it's good for you" and if you wanted to eat, you would listen to her. How many of us, just sat quietly and ate what our parents told us to eat and never really thought twice about it?
It's not until in recent years that I really researched the nutritional value of different foods that I eat everyday. When you begin to realize what cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts and the rest of the gang actually do for you, it makes eating them that much more enjoyable.
Tonight I decided to elevate my mother's classic dish, of sautéed cauliflower and potatoes by adding purple cauliflower, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes and onions in the mix.
Cauliflower and brussels sprouts belong to the cruciferous vegetable family. These vegetables are jam packed with nutrients. They are high in Vitamin A, C, K, manganese, fibre, and so much more! I could go on about how amazing cauliflower and the rest of the cabbage family are great for you, but really we just want to find easy and tasty ways to eat these powerhouse vegetables!
Dice the onion and sauté them in a heated pan with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
Using a garlic press, add the crushed garlic to the onion.
In a shallow pan, add water 1/4 to 1/2 way (depending on the pan).
Steam cauliflower for 5 minutes, add the brussels sprouts.
Steam vegetables for another 5 minutes.
Drain the vegetables and add them to the potato stir-fry.
Season vegetables with salt, pepper, garlic powder, a little extra olive oil.
Sauté for 2 minutes until everything has mixed well together.

Q: TFSBuild 2010: File.Copy c# snippets throw me exception after compilation With TFS Build 2010, I have build process running devenv.com for several projects. After that, I want all the binaries to be copied from the output folders with C# Custom Build Activities with "File.Copy". However, it threw me this exception with the first copy of the file:
The process cannot access the file 'C:\Test\BuildServer\Sources\Library\LibraryInstall\LibraryInstall\Release\LibraryInstall.msm' because it is being used by another process.

It seems the file is still been using by the devenv.com. Any idea how? Other than File.Copy, is there any better way to copy it regardless the file status?
======
I found an ugly way:
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\WINDOWS\system32\xcopy.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "/Y " + Path.Combine(sourcesDirectory, fileName) + " " + binariesDirectory;
proc.Start();

A: Devenv is an agressive file locker.  If you can build your projects by creating an MSBuild file and bypassing devenv you'll be better off.  Some project types can only be built with devenv though, you've not specified what project types you are using so this may not be an option.
MSBuild has a feature called "node reuse" whereby it creates processes that can hang around for up to 15 minutes as an optimization for subsequent builds.  It may be that the node reuse combined with devenv's file locking behavior is giving you trouble.
You've not made it clear just exactly how you are executing your build, but if MSBuild is involved, you could try to specify the /nodereuse:false option to disable this feature.
I've also seen rogue MSBuild and devenv process hang onto files, they can get hung up and stay around forever until you kill them if there are obscure exceptions in your build.

A: I have few amateur things. Don't put a minus on my answer =)
First, take a look at this answer to change your algorithm little bit

*

*You can create batch file which includes same ugly method in
it. Then call this batch file from C#

*Maybe you can use FileStream.. binary read-write

*Maybe you can import vb referance to your project and use ( non-sense
)

*Or directly kill the process which accourding with this error.

And here is an another search, please take a look this question too.
This is the last and hard-core long shot.
Best Regards...

Weak storyline, like most aviation film much as to my disappoint this could have gotten a good 7 if the writers thought of a better script. There was too many silly lines that I wonder if this was suppose to be a manga filled humour or a live action film. The thing I found interesting though is the tensed relationship with the Americans and Koreans when dealing with missile crisis, couldn't the writers explore on that more than silly aspect of the film. Poor CGI, while it is understandable that there are parts of the film where real fighter jets cannot be used i.e. city dog fight scenes, I believe that they could have done a better job. The characters, I really don't think the Korean Air force would have allowed impulsive, childish and hot headed pilots into their ranks. And what is with them abusing the engineers. Come on its the military discipline, team work and proper conduct is a big thing there.
Verdict: Disappointing, this film could have done better.

British Columbia's new premier has presented each cabinet minister with a to-do list, and in an effort to promote transparency, has also made these letters available to the public. In the letters, each minister and minister of state is reminded of the governing party's three major committments to British Columbians:
To make life more affordable.
To deliver the services that people count on, by ensuring that children get access to the quality public education they need to succeed, that families can get timely medical attention, and that senior citizens are able to live their final years with dignity.
To build a strong, sustainable, innovative economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and the well-connected. Prioritize tackling poverty and inequality, creating good-paying jobs in every corner of the province, and ensuring people from every background have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The premier also reminded his 22 ministers of the Confidence and Supply Agreement reached with the B.C. Green caucus, and the responsibility of ministers to consult the Greens on major policy issues, budgets, and legislation as they carry out their mandates. The relationship between the NDP and Greens will be supervised by the Confidence and Supply Agreement Secretariat in the Premier's Office.
The Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Claire Trevena, has been assigned a long list of tasks, indicating the new government's intention to prioritize infrastructure investments that will make life in both rural and urban B.C. more affordable. Trevena will be responsible for, amongst other things: developing a plan to address the infrastructure needs of rural and urban British Columbia under the government's comprehensive capital infrastructure plan; reducing the number of tolls across the province; securing federal funding for Metro Vancouver to help implement the mayor's 10-year plan for transit and transportation; and funding transit improvements across the province.
Michelle Mungall will be tackling one of the more contentious files as Minister of Energy, Mines, and Petroleum Resources. As the success of this government depends on the Green Party's confidence in the NDP, pipelines remain a divisive issue between the two parties, and this will have a major impact on the way Mungall navigates the file. The minister will be responsible for: creating an innovation-driven roadmap for the future of B.C. energy focused on energy-efficiency and conservation programs; reinvigorating the Innovative Clean Energy fund to boost investments in new energy technologies and climate change solutions; refering the Site C dam construction project to the B.C. Utilities Commission on the question of economic viability.
Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, George Heyman, will be working to ensure that British Columbia remains both green and competitive. This will involve: defending B.C.'s interests in the face of the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, and the threat of a seven-fold increase in tanker traffic on the coast; renewing the Climate Leadership Team within the first 100 days; implementing a comprehensive climate-action strategy that provides a pathway for B.C. to prosper economically while meeting carbon pollution reduction targets.
Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, will partner up with with local governments and First Nations to develop a community capital infrastructure fund, develop a homelessness action plan to reduce the homeless population through permanent housing and services, and support the Mayors' Council 10-Year Vision for Metro Vancouver Transportation by funding 40%of the capital costs of every phase of the plan. Robinson will also partner with local governments, the federal government, and the private and not-for-profit sectors, begin to build 114,000 units of affordable market rental, non-profit, co-op, supported social housing and owner-purchase housing.
Working closely with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, will be Shane Simpson, Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction. Simpson will be focused on developing a basic-income pilot, designing and implementing a province-wide poverty-reduction strategy with legislated targets and timelines, and developing a homelessness action plan to reduce the homeless population through permanent housing and services.

Master keying is a key duplication system that was developed so that companies could accurately and effectively control who has access to specified areas of a building and how those areas are accessed. A masterkey allows the holder to access all areas of a building while other key holders are restricted to particular areas. This is an excellent way to organize and control access.
