Q: nvd3 cumulative line doesn't work: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined This is my first time using nvd3. When I practised with the example and data of the official site, I had no problems, but when I used my data and tried to adapt the code, it doesn't work. Nothing appears. And when I go to the console: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined in nv.d3.min.js:3
The code is:
<script type="text/javascript">

                                    d3.json('rc2.json', function(data) {

                    var chart = nv.models.cumulativeLineChart()
                                  .x(function(d) { return d[0] })
                                  .y(function(d) { return d[1]/100 }) //adjusting, 100% is 1.00, not 100 as it is in the data

                        .tickFormat(d3.format(',.1%'));

                    d3.select('#chart svg')
                        .datum(data)
                        .call(chart);

                    //TODO: Figure out a good way to do this automatically

I know the time format is not the same as in the official example. I use years instead day/month/year. That's why I modified the chart.xAxis:
chart.xAxis
                        .tickFormat(d3.format(',.1%'));

I also know that the format for the yAxis is not the right one, but it shouldn't be a problem for being displayed, should it?
I only wanted to see if it appeared on the screen.
After reading some documentation and other questions, I don't find out what should I do. I don't know if it's relevant that the "values" arrays have different length.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advanced.

A: I tried to modify your code:
nv.addGraph(function () {
   chart = nv.models.cumulativeLineChart()
                  .x(function (d) { return d.x })
                  .y(function (d) { return d.y / 100 })
                  .color(d3.scale.category10().range());

    chart.xAxis
        .tickFormat(function (d) {
            return d3.time.format('%x')(new Date(d))
        });

    chart.yAxis
        .tickFormat(d3.format(',.1%'));

    d3.select('#chart svg')
        .datum(json)
        .call(chart);

    nv.utils.windowResize(chart.update);

    return chart;
});

I imported these libraries: d3.v3.min.js, nv.d3.js, nv.d3.css.

"Hell on Wheels" shines as newest western
By Kevin Romani
Courtesy of AMC
In just four short years, AMC has established itself as a leader in dramatic television. The basic cable network has given HBO a run for its money as the most synonymous station for great and compelling series. HBO's famous motto over the years – "It's not TV, it's HBO" – is very apropos, as the premium channel has offered countless memorable programs over the years. AMC's tagline – "Story matters here" – is similarly fitting for the channel, as their relentless dedication to substance has propelled it to this high level of quality.
AMC's maiden voyage into original programming waters was with "Mad Men." The series has been awarded the Best Drama Emmy every season it has been on the air. "Breaking Bad," "The Walking Dead" and "The Killing" all followed, and have all received their own accolades, respectively. This month, AMC premiered "Hell on Wheels," a western set in the backdrop of the early stages of the Reconstruction Era. After its pilot episode, it appears AMC has found itself yet another successful series to build its reputation within the television industry.
"Hell on Wheels" was created by brothers Joe and Tony Gayton, who are serving as first time show runners of a television series. The series stars relatively unknown Anson Mount as Cullen Bohannan, musician turned actor Common as Elam and Colm Meaney as 'Doc' Durant.
This new series focuses on the creation of the Union Pacific Railroad shortly after the end of the Civil War. Bohannan is a cold blooded killer who finds himself at the work site for the railroad on a search for those who killed his wife during the War. Bohannan is a southerner, and fought for the Confederacy. Prior to the War, Bohannan was a plantation owner who also owned a few slaves. He released his slaves from their service prior to the end of the War, after his wife revealed to him the cruelties of slavery. Bohannan fought on the Confederate side not to protect the southern way of life, but for the "honor."
Bohannan is the classic western archetypal anti-hero. Similarly to Clint Eastwood's "Man With No Name" character from the Sergio Leone "Dollars" trilogy, Bohannan is a morally ambiguous man who will stop at nothing to achieve what he wants. Eastwood's character was after money, whereas Bohannan is after revenge for the death of his wife. He has little to say, but when he does share his thoughts they leave a lasting impression with the audience. Bohannan kills at will, yet has some semblance of a heart. His favorable treatment towards the former slaves who are working on the train gives him some redeemable qualities, but not enough to make him a completely good natured person. Bohannan's character is certainly the one worth watching on "Hell on Wheels," as there is nothing more compelling than a well-written and sympathetic anti-hero.
If one word could summarize the mood of the pilot episode and what is to be expected in further episodes of "Hell on Wheels," it would be lawlessness. The period after the Civil War is reputed to be remembered for having little sense of order and established law. This was especially pertinent to the western part of the country, as America's pursuit of "Manifest Destiny" led it to new found territory where normal rules did not apply. The cast and crew compared this sense of lawlessness to that of "The Walking Dead," which features a world overrun by zombies. Similarly, greedy and murderous men plague the American western frontier, and they have nothing in their way to interfere with them achieving their goals. Murder, extortion and bribery are just a few of the unethical activities that are seen in the pilot episode alone. This chaos leaves the series with a sense of unpredictability from episode to episode, which will benefit the entertainment value of the program.
Along with FX's "Justified," "Hell on Wheels" may help lead to the reemergence of the western on television sets. A return to this genre has already taken place in film, as pictures like "3:10 to Yuma" and "True Grit" have received recent success both financially and critically. The western is the quintessential American genre, as archetypes and subject matter from the genre have been seen in American film and television for decades. Movies like "Die Hard" and "Dirty Harry" may take place in more contemporary time periods with contemporary issues, but the essence of both pictures is undeniably that of the western. It will be interesting to see if audiences react favorably to both of these new series and welcome the idea of the western as a television series.
As AMC's tagline suggests, story truly does matter to them. This belief is confirmed once again with "Hell on Wheels." The pilot episode offers a beautiful depiction of the western landscape, and was well produced on all technical levels. But it is clear that the creators of the series have their primary focus in the narrative, as the premiere episode provided the foundation for several interesting plot lines. "Hell on Wheels" follows "The Walking Dead" Sunday nights at 10 p.m.

In California a restaurant can be FINED for just giving a plastic straw to a customer, without the customer asking. This law is based on KNOWN junk science. Where does almost all the plastic in the oceans come from? NOT from a single source in the United States—the plastic comes from Asia and Africa.
"By analyzing the waste found in the rivers and surrounding landscape, researchers were able to estimate that just 10 river systems carry 90% of the plastic that ends up in the ocean.
China has to be laughing at how stupid Americans are—we give up freedom of choice—we are allowed to killed babies, even after they are born, but not allowed to give out a plastic straw. We need to educate Republicans about this—since many of them, to look like environmentalists instead of scientific illiterates, agree to ban whatever the Left wants—free elections, free speech, safe streets and even plastic straws. Stop the hoax—use a plastic straw.
After the last decade we have become increasingly alarmed at the amount of plastic in our oceans.
More than 8 million tons of it ends up in the ocean every year. If we continue to pollute at this rate, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.
But where does all this plastic waste come from?
Most of it is washed into the ocean by rivers. And 90% of it comes from just 10 of them, according to a study.
Schmidt and his team found that the quantity of plastic per cubic metre of water was significantly higher in large rivers than in small ones.
The rivers all had two things in common; a generally high population living in the surrounding region – sometimes into the hundreds of millions – and a less than ideal waste management process.
The Yangtze is Asia's longest river and also one of world's most ecologically important rivers. The river basin is home to almost 500 million people (more than one third of China's population). It is also the biggest carrier of plastic pollution to the ocean.
Recently, however, China has made efforts to curb waste.
For years the country had imported millions of tons of recyclable waste from overseas, but a growing recycling burden at home prompted the government to shift its policy.
Last year, it ended imports of "foreign garbage". Recently it extended the ban to metals, saying stopping imports of foreign waste was "a symbolic measure for the creation of an ecological civilization in China".
And this year China has ordered 46 cities to begin sorting waste in order to reach a 35% recycling rate by 2020.
According to the UN Environment Program head Erik Solheim, while China is the biggest producer of plastic waste, it is also making major efforts to curb it.
The Indus and the Ganges, which flow through India, carry the second and sixth highest amounts of plastic debris to the ocean.
Several years ago, the Indian government launched the Namami Gange project in a bid to clean the Ganges, but recently the National Green Tribunal, India's dedicated environmental court, said that "not a single drop of the Ganga has been cleaned so far".
At the United Nations Environment Assembly in December 2017, India along with 193 other nations, signed a resolution to reduce marine plastic waste.
Also, CA emits maybe 1% global carbon emissons…while China emits more global carbon emissions than the EU and US combined .
The low carbon emissions are due to many initiatives that CA set to make those reductions by 2020. The state was 5+ years ahead of schedule. Thank you for marking this accomplishment.
You can thank stupid Moonbeam and Mary Nicholls of CARB for the 72 cents per gallon gas increase coming. Moonbeam thought he could save the world with his "carbon" plans. It will affect the World total by .1% Just keep voting democratic!
We have junk politicians believing in junk science who pass junk laws imposed upon their junk constituents.
Welcome to the Age of Junk!

Q: Combining three SQL queries into one to find a data with reference to a given table order I understand I couldn't come up with the right title for this question.  Perhaps I will edit it after some inputs from community members.
I have TableA, TableB, TableC.   For simplicity reasons,  assume they all have ProductID and Price as fields.
In the code,  first TableA is searched. If it contains the price for the productid,  return.  If not,  search TableB for the same and then TableC for the same.  In many cases, it results in three separate queries.   SQL experts is there a way to run just one query with a hierarchical preference.  Meaning if the price is found in TableA disregard the results from the remaining two tables,  then the second option is to accept the price from TableB if the price doesn't exist in TableA.  Meaning,  if all three table contains the price,  take the price from TableA.  If the price doesn't exist in TableA take it from TableB and finally from TableC that will always has the price.

A: One way to approach this uses filtering:
select a.productid, a.price, 'a' as which
from a
union all
select b.productid, b.price, 'b' as which
from b
where not exists (select 1 from a where a.productid = b.productid)
union all
select c.productid, c.price, 'c' as which

Trudeau's Blackface: The Chilling Effects of Disinformation on Political Engagement
During election season, journalists should be ready for even more sophisticated attempts to plant false narratives and to spin disinformation via legitimate news stories

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, framed by a teleprompter, is facing a furor after a 2001 photo of him in brownface surfaced and two other similar incidents came to light. He is up for re-election October 21. Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press via AP
At Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center, the Technology and Social Change Research Project (TaSC) studies how networked social movements use social media to reframe, and often remix, the news. Memes, hashtags, and YouTube videos spring up around controversial stories during breaking news events, such as hotly contested elections and crises, manifesting in hyper-partisan talking points, and often, weaponized disinformation. Whether they are alt-right trolls trying to trick reporters into misidentifying a mass shooter or foreign interests impersonating black activists, media manipulators come together in loosely-formed coalitions to coordinate during periods where breaking news is unverified and unstable.
At TaSC, we are tracking disinformation surrounding the Canadian elections on October 21, using a digital ethnographic approach to investigate online communities and media movements amplifying and generating content that bends and distorts information for political gain. We study both successful and failed manipulation campaigns, looking at the artifacts and instructions left behind by manipulators attempting to plant false information in front of journalists, and influence perceptions of social media users. As journalists and researchers brace for this onslaught of increasingly polarized political attack ads and deceptively framed information, no amount of preparation can defend against the reckless actions by the candidates themselves.
We have found that the widely reported Trudeau black and brownface story has created an information environment ripe for exploitation by partisans and other bad actors seeking to spread confusion, division, and hate. First, while the Trudeau black and brownface photos are authentic, journalists should be prepared for an onslaught of doctored pics around this news story and others like it, making it harder and harder to tell a legitimate news story from a partisan fake.
We have seen this already with the manipulated Pelosi video and the fake photo of a Parkland student ripping up the Constitution and journalists should be ready for even more sophisticated attempts to plant false narratives and to spin disinformation via legitimate news stories too.
Second, the Trudeau controversy, and emerging disinformation, trolling, and messaging around it, may already be having a chilling effect on discussion and engagement, particularly among minorities.
The Trudeau controversy, and emerging disinformation, trolling, and messaging around it, may already be having a chilling effect on discussion and engagement, particularly among minorities
To begin with, the leak has intensified polarization around issues of race, particularly systemic racism. Blackface and brownface practices have a distinctly racist history and origins, but discussion of that history, and racism in Canada more generally in the course of the election, is now complicated by crude politics, and subject to misappropriation and abuse by partisans for political gain.
On September 18, Time magazine reported that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is running for re-election, wore brownface at a work party in 2001. That story surfaced other images of Trudeau wearing blackface and brownface, as reported in Canadian media outlets, including a brief video. During the series of revelations in the press, Trudeau addressed the reported instances of racist face painting and costuming, while acknowledging the veracity of the photos.
National and international outlets were quick to pick up the story, republishing the report with their own political framing. More left leaning outlets like the Toronto Star, for example, quoted Liberals defending Trudeau from accusations of racism by pointing to his record on promoting equality, while Jagmeet Singh, candidate for the New Democratic Party, questioned that record.
Meanwhile, conservative opinion writers and pundits decried a supposed double standard being applied to Trudeau and other Liberal politicians who have been accused of racism and other violations of politically correct norms. These pundits claim mainstream press and voters are more likely to ignore racism and gaffes by liberal or progressive candidates for actions that would be damning for their counterparts on the right, and have subsequently been urging Canada's left to abandon the Liberal candidate during this close election season.
Other right-wing outlets like The Rebel have employed the scandal to attack other Liberal candidates. The Post Millennial, a growing conservative news site with ties to right-wing political operatives and advocacy, has been deeply critical of Trudeau since its inception in 2017. Not surprisingly, the outlet quickly reposted the story with its own conservative editorial framing. This initial repost was followed by a flurry of spin-off stories mocking Trudeau for his missteps, and promoting his Conservative opponent Andrew Scheer. The staff has an ongoing collection of the "best" memes mocking Trudeau, including his racist gaffes. Using social media analytics, we see that the photos have been widely shared among known U.S. right-wing operators who have also amplified disinformation in the past, including Andy Ngo and Jack Posobiec.
All of this polarization around race has important consequences. There is extensive literature on how such polarization has a chilling effect on political participation and discussion. People often self-censor out of fear of being ostracized from a group or broader society for expressing an unpopular opinion. Research on this "spiral of silence," as it is called, has shown that as political climates become more polarized, people may avoid participating in political speech or engagement.
Research has shown that as political climates become more polarized, people may avoid participating in political speech or engagement
The controversy has also led to the generation and circulation of photoshopped racist blackface and brownface images and memes online, often under false pretenses. This is not unexpected. In a new report on audio-visual manipulation from Data & Society, Britt Paris and the Shorenstein Center's Joan Donovan describe how photoshopping images to produce "cheap fakes" can be an effective tactic to trick audiences into believing a hoax. Cheap fakes use conventional techniques like speeding, slowing, cutting, re-staging, or re-contextualizing footage.
Examples of racist "cheap fakes" in relation to the Trudeau's black and brownface controversy include racist defacement of actual political ads, generation and circulation of fake ads, and employment of images that recycle crude racial stereotypes.
Such divisive cheap fakes can also have important social and political impacts. The spread of faked blackface photos—both those intended as satire as well as those created out of racial animus—and other racist imagery and stereotypes can have corrosive silencing effects. That is, it fosters a climate of hostility that re-enforces racist stereotypes and chills the speech and engagement of visible minorities, the usual targets of such abuse.
Other aspects of the Trudeau blackface story make it uniquely vulnerable to disinformation and its chilling effects. First, though Trudeau has confirmed the authenticity of the widely reported images, there remains some uncertainty about how they were leaked or disclosed to media outlets. The surfacing of three incidents of Trudeau in brownface and blackface at the same time suggests a possible coordinated effort to upend Trudeau's campaign for re-election. At least one independent Canadian journalist has suggested a coordinated "dirty tricks" campaign behind the scandal. And, in fact, Global News has confirmed that the Conservative Party of Canada was the source for the blackface video it reported.
Second, Trudeau has refused to rule out the possibility there may be more black and brownface images or videos that could surface. Third, Canadian and international news outlets, in declaring newsworthy and publishing old yearbook photos and a grainy, low quality video clip from the early 1990s, will likely further incentivize what one of us (Joan) has called digital dumpstering—combing through bits of digital information, records, data, and media, to shame or embarrass candidates or spread confusion for partisan gain.
These kinds of uncertainties and conspiratorial dimensions help foster a media environment easily exploited with cheap fakes and other forms of disinformation, as well as sow confusion, division, and distrust in the authenticity of information. For example: Virginia's Democratic Governor Ralph Northam's swift reversal of admission of a 1984 medical school yearbook page showing a person dressed as a Ku Klux Klan member and another wearing blackface.
Under growing pressure to resign from office, Northam first issued an apology for past wrongdoings. The following day, however, Northam unequivocally reversed his statement and denied all claims that he was in the photograph. The Northam incident raises serious concerns about the role of plausible deniability in the age of digital dumpstering and routine media manipulation. While Trudeau has acknowledged the authenticity of his black and brownface photos and Northam has not, uncertainty surrounds both cases. Northam, through denial, has created uncertainty about whether he was indeed in KKK garb or blackface. And Trudeau, by failing to rule out other blackface instances, has created uncertainty about whether new photos will emerge.
The Northam incident raises serious concerns about the role of plausible deniability in the age of digital dumpstering and routine media manipulation
For motivated political opponents, these moments of uncertainty provide great opportunity for the creation of hoaxes. This will include cheap fake images originating in places we associate with disinformation like 4chan and Reddit, but also those exploiting the fine line between joke, satire, and disinformation noted earlier.
At TaSC, we expect more disinformation, manipulated/fake Trudeau images, and digital dumpster-diving will come out closer to the election on October 21. In fact, we are already seeing this. An example is an image of a former Canadian prime minister from an indigenous ceremony being circulated and falsely claimed by partisans as comparable to Trudeau's blackface.
Such disinformation and manipulation also has chilling effects. As misinformation floods political discourse in the heat of an election, it can create what Zeynep Tufekci calls "censorship by disinformation," where members of the public, unsure of what is real or fake, are chilled from political engagement or collective action. The result is far fewer voices and much less vibrant and healthy elections—and democracies.
TaSC's study of the Canadian election is supported by The Digital Ecosystem Research Challenge, an initiative led by McGill University and the University of Ottawa that is made possible in part by the Government of Canada's History Fund Grant.
Correction: An earlier version of this article misspelled Jagmeet Singh's first name.

It's your 25th wedding anniversary soon, and to be brutally honest, you're starting to get a bit jittery. Every year you've tried your best to find the most awesome gift ever, whether it's for her birthday, xmas or another anniversary. But this time you feel under pressure to find the one gift that tops them all. Wise decision, because after 25 years of being married to you, she deserves something really special. You've been in love for 25 years, and while this love may have changed or taken on a new meaning, the emotion is one you still share. Other things have tried to get in the way, such as work commitments, friends, family and other responsibilities, but you've stayed true to each other, and here you are. About to celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary, or silver anniversary as it's often called.
There are lots of different ways you can celebrate a wedding anniversary, but for the 25th maybe you should push the boat out. How about inviting friends, relatives, family and favourite neighbours round for a jolly good shin dig? If you haven't got enough room in your backyard for more than 20 guests, hire a local hall, some entertainment and not forgetting food and drinks. There's also the option of booking an events room at a local hotel. That way, if some of the guests are travelling from afar, they'll be able to spend the night, before heading home.
A lavish party is not however everyone's cup of tea, so how about doing something special together. Leave your mobile phones at home, and let the kids take care of themselves – they've got to be old enough to be trusted surely?
Take yourselves away for a memorable vacation. Australia's big enough, you won't necessarily need to leave its shores. One great vacation we encountered while looking at gift ideas on the web, was a train journey through Australia's red centre, The Ghan. An adventure if ever there was one. From the comfort of your air-conditioned carriage, you'll be able to view some of Australia's wondrous countryside and scenery. It's a three or four day journey from Darwin to Adelaide, that includes some excursions off the train too. In the Macdonnell Ranges you'll be dining under the stars, exploring the underground town of Coober Pedy, as well as taking in the sights of Katherine and Alice Springs.
This is a popular gift idea for newlyweds, but think you've missed the window on that one. So why not create an anniversary time capsule as a way of celebrating a 25th wedding anniversary? It's a perfect, creative and unique gift that you can make together. Book in the time to open it again on your 50th anniversary, so you can relive some of your memorable moments, and hopefully add a few more.
Find an attractive container or box, and decorate it with hearts, flowers, stars, tinsel, whatever takes your fancy really. Silver wedding anniversary wrapping paper might be a good place to start, if you're struggling for ideas.
Now you've got the task of finding things to fill it with. It could be some old photos, tickets you've saved, trinkets and souvenirs you've saved over the years, gifts that the kids have made at school. You get the idea? One final thing that's worth including – a couple of love letters, written by each of you. In which you could explain the reasons you love your significant other half, and what makes them so special. In 25 years time, you'll be able to read them to each other, and hopefully things won't have changed.
Some say that a 25th wedding anniversary is the perfect opportunity to say "I Do", all over again. After all, you've possibly changed during the last quarter of a century, and what may have been important to you all those years ago, may no longer be so. Your love is of course much deeper, so the vows you say will have more meaning.
Whether you choose to renew your vows in front of a room full of people, or just a couple of close friends, is entirely up to you. You might not feel the need to say such poignant words in front of a crowd of people. You are the only people that matter. Why involve anyone else?
The most important part of any wedding anniversary celebration is that you both have a good time. Whether you choose to share the occasion with people who are special to you, with anybody and everybody you ever met, or just the two of you. We hope you have a lovely and memorable 25th wedding anniversary.

Niklas Kruetten Joins United Autosports IMSA LMP3 Team for Watkins Glen & Petit Le Mans
ELMS race winner Kruetten, joins United Autosports for American endurance races
United Autosports confirm LMP3 entry into Waktins Glen and Petit Le Mans
LMP3 team to run alongside LMP2 commitments for Anglo-American team
United Autosports are delighted to confirm that Niklas Kruetten will join their LMP3 team for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at Watkins Glen and Petit Le Mans.
This year, Niklas is racing for COOL Racing in the European Le Mans Series, where he won the opening round of the season at Barcelona last month. He also raced at the Sebring 12 Hours with WIN Autosport in March. Prior to that, the 18-year-old German driver raced in the 2020 Euroformula Open, scoring five podiums and winning the rookie championship.
In 2019 and 2018, he competed in the FIA World Motorsport Games, the Euroformula 3, the ADAC Formula 4, the Formula 4 Italian Championship and the Formula 4 UAE, successfully scoring wins and podium finishes throughout each championship. Niklas is a sponsored athlete of the ADAC Sports Foundation after being recognised for his standout performances in single seaters.
United Autosports will make their LMP3 debut in America at the Six Hours of Watkins Glen in June, along with continuing their LMP2 programme with Jim McGuire. Niklas' teammates in the Ligier JS P320 are still to be confirmed.
The Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen will be held on 25-27 June, with the Motul Petit Le Mans occurring on 11-13 November.
Niklas Kruetten:
"I am super excited for the opportunity to continue my IMSA WeatherTech racing in the US this year with United Autosports. United is one of the leading endurance racing teams in the world and I am sure that we will be in a position to fight for top results. My journey into prototype racing could not have started any better than with winning the 4 hours of Barcelona in the European Le Mans Series two weeks ago. The goal is to build on that not only in Europe but also in the US."
Zak Brown:
"I'm delighted to welcome Niklas to our IMSA LMP3 team. He has an impressive history of racing and I'm sure that will be reflected in his performances with us in America."
Richard Dean:
"I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Niklas to our team as we make our LMP3 debut in America. It is something we have looked at doing and now we feel the time is right to pull something together to compliment the LMP2 team we have out here. Niklas is a great talent, shown by winning the opening round of the ELMS season in Barcelona last month. I'm looking forward to working with him."


The UR350 panel system from Troax is a light-duty, modular mesh system that is suitable for creating added storage within a well protected environment. The system is ideal for creating inner partioning walls within a secure storage application when used in conjunction with the Troax UX 450 & 550 panels. It can also be used on its own for applications where a lesser degree of security is required. The 50 x 50mm mesh aperture also makes it difficult for a hand to reach through the panel.


Fortunately, KickStarter has a blog about this to help us all cope with the disappointment. They even talk about one project that made only $3k of their $20k goal, but was approached by a private investor who found them on KickStarter, and helped them with $200k!
Most importantly – and I can't stress this enough – we want to say "Thank You" again to all of you that pledged your support. You chose to believe in something new for the area. You chose to make a statement with your dollars. YOU HAVE made a difference! Knowing that so many people support this project makes it easy to carry on despite not hitting our goal here on KickStarter. Where there's a will, there's a way. We just need to find it. We believe in what the Mount Jackson Farmers' Market is about. It is meant to happen, because it is more than about just us – it's about this community, which extends far beyond the boundaries of Mount Jackson proper. In short, we are committed to seeing it through.
We won't exactly be able to give out rewards this way, and we do NOT in any way expect this. It's just that we've had a few folks who have already asked.
The outdoor market will be open Saturdays from 8 AM -1 PM and Wednesdays from 2 PM to 6 PM, starting April 14th. Hope to see you there!

Teen Sex Is Getting Safer: More Kids Use Condoms Than Ever Before
High school kids are still boning at the same rate they were 11 years ago, but they're getting smarter about it.
Nona Willis Aronowitz
Here's a statistic to temper the perennial hysteria surrounding teen sex: condom use among teenage boys is on the rise.
As part of its National Survey of Family Growth, the CDC discovered that eight in 10 teen boys ages 15 to 19 reported they had used condoms during their first sexual experience. That's 9 percent more teenagers than the last time the CDC checked in, back in 2002. High school kids are still boning at the same rate they were 11 years ago—a little more than 40 percent for both genders—but they're getting smarter about it. Besides the rise of rubbers and the decline of teen pregnancy, the study also found that 16 percent of teen males "double up"—that is, use a condom in combination with a female partner's hormonal method—up from 10 percent in 2002.
In a just world, this heartening news would send a wake-up call to those who claim comprehensive sexual education promotes promiscuity. Teaching kids how to be safe doesn't encourage them to have more sex, just to protect themselves. Condom use is on the rise despite the fact that only 58 percent of schools give kids adequate information about STDs and pregnancy [PDF]; just imagine if that number was 100 percent.
Perhaps the study's most telling find is the number one reason teens gave for staying abstinent: It's not because they are worried about unplanned pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases, but because sex is "against their religion or morals." Teens seem to be aware that our country's push for abstinence has more to do with antiquated ideas of sexual purity than about young people's safety. We have a long way to go—abstinence should be presented as the safest option, rather than the most moral—but at least more sexually active kids have the willpower to wrap it up once they take the plunge.
It's time for us to not only accept that teenagers are sexual people, but also trust them to make the right decisions about their bodies. That is, of course, if we keep our end of the bargain by doling out the facts.

Uk shine "Spotlight on Africa" (Blog post from my blog www.goodadviceisrarerthanrubies.blogspot.com)
Posted by Cindy Yau on September 27, 2009 at 11:34
Earlier this month the Ethical Fashion Forum held a seminar and marketplace in London on why Africa is becoming increasingly important in the apparel industry. According to EFF, in Kenya alone 30,000 people are employed in the apparel sector and for each of these jobs, another five are generated. As fashion is labour generated and requires limited capital input to fund, traditional skills such as hand-weaving, hand-embroidering, printing and tailoring offer a high premium.
Trade in fashion products gives important opportunities to small impoverished communities in Africa. The rising demand for sustainable sourcing, coupled with recycling and organic cotton has created a user supply demand for high-quality fashion from Africa which has boosted the trade. In the slums of Korogocho, Nairobi, Kenya, fashion for the developed world has driven the premium for a handful of female artisans. In Korogocho 45 percent of the population are in their youth, many who are forced to stay impoverished because they are illiterate and unemployed as a result. Some adolescents only survive by turning to crime.
The handicraft initiative Bega kwa Bega which means "Shoulder to Shoulder" has helped many women from the slums work their way out of poverty. BKB have trained women from the slums of Korogocho and Mukura, which has been made a dumping ground for rubbish, to make handbags, scarves and jewellery. Many of the women have families to bring up and are also single parents caring for their elders. Through loans they have also been able to expand their initiative to cake making during off peak seasons and purchase more sewing machines to employ more women. Ignatius helps run BKB and he sees how giving women in the community employment has helped the economy of Kenya overall. "We export our crafts to Italy, Japan, Canada, [and] America where there are fair trade buyers. Our goal is to reach [as many] people as possible."
Similar to Kenya, Zambia's economy has grown steadily since 2003 from foreign investments. It relies heavily on mining, construction and the service sectors, according to the World Trade Organization's trade policy review for Zambia this year. Since 2004, Zambia has been able to export directly to the US under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, cutting out all third countries, and ensuring the maximum premium is directed back to Zambia. To encourage the industry, the government have also reduced the import duty on imported raw materials for aid of manufacturing clothing and accessories.
Currently, Zambia's apparel industry only contributes between 10 and 11 percent of gross domestic product. Zambia's increasing dependency on copper mining, which accounts for 75 percent of Zambia's total exports, has eroded any progress on diversity in the Zambian economy. The trade policy review also stressed the importance of reducing dependence on such natural resources, stating textile and clothing as an alternative option.
Fairtrade shops in the UK reflected the rising demand and reported a surprising increase in sales over the last month, while the Fairtrade Foundation announced a 22 percent increase in global Fair trade sales despite the financial crisis, in 2008. Global sales of Fairtrade certified cotton products doubled to 94 percent. The good news for the Fairtrade Foundation comes as fair trade sales grew by over 50 percent in seven countries, which include Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The UK and the US are still the strongest consumers of fair trade products as sales increased in the UK by 43 percent and the US experienced an increase of 10 percent.
The increase in sales has opened up doors for a number of new markets in places such as eastern Asia and South Africa. Although cotton is only the fifth most popular Fair trade product behind coffee, bananas, tea and sugar, the increase in sales proves awareness of fair trade fashion has risen.
The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs in the UK are also getting behind fair trade, as they have introduced a product roadmap called the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan in order to monitor the impact of clothing on the environment. Their aim is to "collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders" such as Arcadia Group which includes high street stores Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkins, "to develop practical and effective actions to address the environmental and social impacts arising across the clothing life cycle". SCAP's plans include encouraging high street retailers to move towards more organic and Fair trade clothing production.
Their finding include using alternative pesticide-free fabrics made from jute, banana and pineapple, but also investing in handloom weaving cooperatives which will help communities in developing countries build a fashion-producing infrastructure.
Despite the trade apparel can generate, five percent of Sub-Saharan Africa's gross domestic product is still lost every year due to shrinking trade income, a figure which has been known to supersede the total aid and debt flow to the region.
People Tree, the Fairtrade certified fashion label, say statistics show that only one percent of fair trade cotton accounts for all the cotton sold in the UK, but there was a 99 percent increase in Fairtrade cotton sales last year. Considering that all togethSer 30 million tonnes of natural fibres are farmed every year, and only 2.5 percent of the world's arable farmland is used to grow cotton, fair trade and ethical fashion still has a long way to go. With the Fairtrade Foundations spending 30.4 percent of their total expenditure on public education and awareness however, fair trade may not have to wait for very long in order to become a staple diet of everyday life.

Kidding and Tribute
Two videos have appeared, with former poet laureate Robert Pinksy using Henry Reed's famous parody of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets as a teaching tool, in Boston University's Art of Poetry Video Repository.
In the first, Pinsky delivers an excellent reading of "Chard Whitlow" (written by Henry Reed in 1941 and subtitled "Mr. Eliot's Sunday Evening Postscript," after this poem), and then compares it with a selection from Eliot's "East Coker":
Followed up with this conversation with some first-time Reed (and Eliot) readers:
Pinsky's point being that effective parody is more than just kidding around: it can help the reader appreciate or even understand the source material better. "Chard Whitlow" is possibly the best example of this, because it can be backed up with Eliot's own statement (also read by Mr. Pinksy):
Most parodies of one's own work strike one as very poor. In fact, one is apt to think one could parody oneself much better. (As a matter of fact, some critics have said that I have done so.) But there is one which deserves the success it has had, Henry Reed's "Chard Whitlow."
Eliot's quote first appeared as a blurb for Reed's tribute in Dwight Macdonald's anthology, Parodies: An Anthology from Chaucer to Beerbohm—and After (New York: Random House, 1960).

House of Phoenix Chronicles Volume I
Wilhelm Ostir
Raised by a mysterious grandmother and believing their parents to be dead, Roslynn and her older identical twin brothers, Oliver and Ethan, had only read of magical beings and creatures. But, transitioning into young adulthood, the three embark on an incredible journey as they are introduced to the riddles of their family's past that will forever change who they are and are yet to become.
As the three siblings discover the ways of the magical arts, they quickly learn that they are not alone in their quest. Finding help when and where they least expect, the three develop friendships, confront the darkness, work together to save their family from an ancient curse, and learn of a mysterious and ancient bloodline that will forever shape the fabric of time and love.
Their fight becomes more significant than even they had anticipated and forces them to make decisions about whether they can effectively save the world, the multiple realms, and magic as they know it. Learning that magic is driven by passion, knowledge, bloodline, and time, will they be the ones to save time, or will they become mere echoes of time?
The House of Phoenix Chronicles is planned as a series of books filled with wizards, witches, fairies, elves, dwarfs, centaurs, mermaids, and dragons in the fight of their lives to protect their ways of life, their families, and the earth. The Phoenix siblings, Rosalynn and her older identical twin brothers, Oliver and Ethan, embark on a remarkable journey of friendship, romance, hatred, and mystery as truths are revealed, challenges faced, and battles with ancient darkness fought. Bending magic to their will, Roslynn, Ethan and Oliver, step in and out of time, breaking the rules at every stage of their remarkable journey. Along their way, they meet friends from the past, present, and future, and discover an ancient secret that could forever change the fabric of history, including our understanding of Medieval times and the Knights of the Round Table: a curse sent by darkness to unravel time as it is known. One minute, magic was at its height, the center of life and the community. In the next, cities and villages lay in ruins, a mere echo of a time that was. Can the three siblings channel their family's magic, one of the most powerful magical bloodlines ever to live, for good? Or will their efforts backfire, leading to the destruction of all magical beings? Will they be able to break the curse that affects their family? Can they save their bloodline and the ways of magic? Will they help bring magic back to earth, or will they become the continuation of the curse?

Wealth Index of India - Highlights
Published on Tuesday, January 16, 2018 By - Unknown
Recently ministry of health and family welfare released Wealth index of India. Apart from wealth index the survey also reveals that poverty as a largely rural phenomenon.
How the survey is conducted:
The index is based on data from the fourth round of the National Family and Health Survey (NFHS-4). The survey was conducted among more than 6 lakh households in 2015-16.
The index has been prepared based on scores on ownership of consumer goods such as television and bicycles, and household characteristics such as availability basic facilities of clean drinking water. It then uses this information to classify all households into five wealth quintiles
Main Outcomes of the survey:
Two main outcomes of the survey are:
Poverty levels in India
Wealth Index:
Richest states in India are
Among major states, people in Delhi and Punjab are the richest with more than 60% of their households in the top wealth quintile. Goa follows next with 54.5% households in the top bracket
Bihar is the poorest state in India with more than half of the households in the bottom wealth quintile.
Rajasthan has more equitable wealth distribution compared to other states with similar number of households in all quintiles.
Among various communities in India:
Jains are the wealthiest community in India
In terms of wealth, Sikh community stands in second place
There isn't much difference between Hindus and Muslims in terms of wealth. Hindus and Muslims have similar (also the most equitable) wealth distribution across all quintiles.
Poverty levels in India as per NFHS-4:
Based on the information from National Family and Health Survey (NFHS-4) all households are classified into wealth quintiles.
Those in the lowest quintile would the poorest 20%,
While those in the top would be the richest 20% of the lot.
29% of rural India belongs to the bottom quintile, while the figure is just 3.3% for urban India. This means that 29% of the rural population has wealth levels equivalent to bottom 20% of the country's population.
The report shows that poverty is predominantly a rural phenomenon in India.
Upper castes have almost double the families in the top quintile as compared to any other caste.
Scheduled tribes, with 45.9% of their people in the lowest quintile, are the poorest.
1. Which of the following ministry releases Wealth index in India?
a. Ministry of Human resources
b. Finance ministry
c. Ministry of Health & Family welfare
d. Ministry of home affairs
2. Which of the following community is wealthiest in India?

China's innovation policies: Evolution, institutional structure, and trajectory
Feng Chao Liu, Denis Fred Simon, Yu Tao Sun, Cong Cao
CLAS-SS: Politics and Global Studies, School of (SPGS)
China has transformed itself from a planning to a market-oriented economy over the past three decades and has sustained a fairly long period of rapid economic growth, to which the contributions from innovation in science and technology (S&T) have become increasingly important. Then, how have China's innovation policies evolved to reflect the changing and supposedly better understanding of innovation by China's policy makers? The paper tries to answer this question through a quantitative analysis of 287 policies issued by China's central government agencies between 1980 and 2005 and of 79 policies introduced between 2006 and 2008 to implement the Medium- and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology (2006-2020). China has shifted its S&T and industrial policy-centered innovation strategy and has pursued a series of better coordinated, innovation-oriented economic and technology initiatives that give greater attention to a portfolio of policies that include critical financial, tax, and fiscal measures. There has been a gradual departure from the pattern in which innovation policies are formulated by one single government agency, therefore steering China to a different and probably more promising innovation trajectory.

N2 - China has transformed itself from a planning to a market-oriented economy over the past three decades and has sustained a fairly long period of rapid economic growth, to which the contributions from innovation in science and technology (S&T) have become increasingly important. Then, how have China's innovation policies evolved to reflect the changing and supposedly better understanding of innovation by China's policy makers? The paper tries to answer this question through a quantitative analysis of 287 policies issued by China's central government agencies between 1980 and 2005 and of 79 policies introduced between 2006 and 2008 to implement the Medium- and Long-Term Plan for the Development of Science and Technology (2006-2020). China has shifted its S&T and industrial policy-centered innovation strategy and has pursued a series of better coordinated, innovation-oriented economic and technology initiatives that give greater attention to a portfolio of policies that include critical financial, tax, and fiscal measures. There has been a gradual departure from the pattern in which innovation policies are formulated by one single government agency, therefore steering China to a different and probably more promising innovation trajectory.
