23rd June 2021 Lecture by Consul General from the Italian Consulate General in Osaka
[ Editor: Institute for Industrial Research 12th August, 2021 ]
Title: The process of Italian unification (19th century) and responses from European nations
Date: 23rd June 2021 1:20 p.m. – 3 p.m.
Lecturer: Mr. Luigi Diodati, Consul General, The Italian Consulate General in Osaka
Coordinator: Dr. Anna Schrade, Associate Professor, Institute for Industrial Research
Venue: Online (ZOOM)
For the EU-Japan Friendship Week 2021 at Kwansei Gakuin University, we had the honour to welcome Mr. Luigi Diodati, Consul General, from the Italian Consulate General in Osaka. As we have chosen Italy as this year's topic, we were extremely pleased that Mr. Diodati made some time in his busy schedule, and, as one of his last acts as Consul General in Osaka, gave a stimulating lecture to our students on ZOOM.
Mr. Diodati focused on the Italian risorgimento in the 19th century, analysing the European power's stance towards it. Very vividly and with lots of enthusiasm, Mr. Diodati explained how the Italian cities were content with their situation, their wealth and their prowess, until in the late 19th century external pressure and rising nationalism in other countries made them unite. He explained how hundreds to small units became the modern state of Italy in 1861 to keep their importance in Europe and the world.
Contrasting the historical analysis of Italian unification, the second half of the special lecture was on the socio-economic situation of present day Italy. The students had prepared panels on Italy (which had been displayed in the KGU Nishinomiya-Uegahara Campus Library during the whole month of June), which were the basis for the final discussions. The students were very pleased and honoured to receive feedback on their work by the distinguished Mr. Diodati, and to ask him questions. They discussed the reasons behind the fact that Italian youngsters lived with their parents until the early/mid-30th, what the secret behind Sardinia's impressive longevity was, how the mafia impacted economic growth in the South, and how the Covid-19 pandemic could help revitalize the countryside, among many others.
It was a highly enjoyable lecture and Q&A session, and it helped the students not only understand Italian modern history, but also to deepen their understanding of their personal research on Italy.

Q: How to read an Access database column into an array with VB.NET? There's already a question like this but its in VBA, and I need VB.NET
I'm trying to get the contents of a column then put them in an array or something so I can then put the data into the items of a ComboBox. If anyone can suggest a better way, id love to know. This is the code I am using right now:
sql = "SELECT Firstname FROM Candidates WHERE Position='President'"
cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, cn)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader

A: So, first lets build the connection to the Access DB.
So, from the menu go project -> "my project name" properties
(last option).
This:

So, in above we hit the [...] button (connection builder).
Then this:

and then:

then use browse to select the Access database file.
If this is a "mdb" file, then we use JET, but for accDB, we have to choose/use
ACE.
So, after selecting the access file, then hit advanced:
this:

Now, it should default to ACE, but MAKE SURE you check this!!!
This:

If you don't see "ACE" in that list, then you not be able to use/open a accDB file, but can use JET to open mdb files.
Keep in mind, that if you are using vs2022?
Then the test connection button will ALWAYS fail, but if you run your project/code, it should work.
Note that you ALSO MUST force your project to x86 if you using/have Access x32 bits.
So, that is this option:

If you don't have/see a x86 option, then use the configeration manager, and create a x86 choice. You MUST do this!!
Ok, so now we have our connection built.
So, on a form, lets drop in a button to "load" the combo box, drop in a combo box.
And lets even drop in a button to show how to get/grab/use a value the user selected.
Now, a combo box can (often) have two columns. one column is "hidden", and the other is for display.
So, in our example, we will fill out the combo box with a list of hotels from the database, and we will use both columns.
"id"  - that is the database primary key value - it will be hidden, not display.
"HotelName" that is the column from the database to display in the combo box.
So, in the combo box property sheet, set:
ValueMember to ID
DisplayMember to HotelName (or your column to display).
So, the code for loading the combo box will look like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Dim strSQL As String =
        "SELECT ID, HotelName FROM tblHotelsA ORDER BY HotelName"

    cboHotels.DataSource = MyRst(strSQL)

End Sub

Function MyRst(strSQL As String) As DataTable

    Dim rstData As New DataTable
    Using conn As New OleDbConnection(My.Settings.AccessDB)
        Using cmdSQL As New OleDbCommand(strSQL, conn)
            conn.Open()
            rstData.Load(cmdSQL.ExecuteReader)
        End Using
    End Using

    Return rstData

End Function

And our button code to test get/grab/see the selected value is this:
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

    Label2.Text = "Hotel Select = " & cboHotels.Text &
        "  value = " & cboHotels.SelectedValue

End Sub

Note how we are able to get the 2 values fro the combo box (the database primary key "value") and also the text (hotel name).
So, final result is this:

Obama Told Bankers Today Its OK To Foreclose On American Citizens Who Bailed You Out: Billy Clinton Gave The Banks What They Wanted!
by Volubrjotr • 14 Feb 2012
The 10 States Getting Slammed By Foreclosures!
MIAMI — Officially, there are 3.5 million homes for sale nationwide. But there are millions more lurking in the shadows — hidden neatly away on banks' balance sheets, stalled in foreclosure court proceedings or simply occupied by nonpaying owners as lenders wait months or years before taking action.
The housing market's ballooning shadow inventory — buoyed by a yearlong foreclosure slowdown — stands as the most menacing obstacle to the recovery of the residential real estate market.
Obama Told Bankers Today: Its OK To Foreclose On American Citizens Who Bailed You Out!
No Rise in Home Prices Until 2020 – BUT – Foreclosure Starts Driven Higher By Bank Of America
Clustered mostly in hard-hit cities and states, there are more than 4.5 million homes either owned by lenders or headed for foreclosure. In Miami, for example, there are about 200,000 shadow homes, dwarfing the 30,000 properties that are listed on the active market. Even as prices in Miami have shown signs of stability this year, an impending wave of foreclosures threatens to keep real estate values deflated.
"A lot of people don't understand how much inventory is set to come on line in the next 18 to 24 months," said Jack McCabe, the CEO of McCabe Research & Consulting in Deerfield Beach, Fla. "When you compare what the Realtors show as inventory to what's out there, you realize we have a long way to go."

A McClatchy analysis of four years of foreclosure data and thousands of property records found record-high levels of shadow inventory in several housing markets across the nation.
Though real estate trade groups routinely leave these shadow properties out of monthly reports, their influence on home values has grown sharply in recent years.
In the supply-and-demand-reliant real estate market, the national supply of homes is officially listed at about 3.5 million, or about nine months' worth; sales are on track to reach about 5 million this year. But once shadow inventory is added, that supply more than doubles, to at least 7.5 million. A healthy housing market has about a six-month supply of properties, which would be about 2.4 million.
The wave of homes yet to hit the market consists of discounted distressed properties, which tend to drag down neighborhood values. Economists say the housing industry will not normalize and recover until most of the foreclosures work their way through the system — a process that probably will last several more years.
HERE IS CHINA'S SHADOW INVENTORY, NOW WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS HAPPENING IN CHINA AND AMERICA AT THE SAME TIME?

WHAT IS SHADOW INVENTORY?
Shadow inventory can be broken into three categories:
Properties that lenders have repossessed but haven't put up for sale. These homes are referred to as real-estate owned, or REOs.
Properties that are caught in the clogged foreclosure process.
Properties that are severely delinquent in loan payments and almost certainly headed for foreclosure, but haven't yet entered the process.
Calculating the size of the shadow market has proved difficult, and estimates range from 1.6 million to 7 million homes.
Obama's 7 Lies Under 2 Minutes: Has America Woke Up Or Do We Remain Bitterly Ignorant? Do not waste time Silver is affordable.
For its analysis, McClatchy determined the number of bank-owned homes by calculating the difference between the number of homes lenders have repossessed since 2007 and the number of homes they've sold to new owners over the same period.
McClatchy also calculated the number of homes in the foreclosure pipeline: properties that have begun the process or are so far behind on payments that foreclosure is virtually inevitable. The analysis didn't include homes that are currently listed for sale.
Data from the real estate research firm RealtyTrac, the U.S. Census Bureau and the data firm Lender Processing Services and real estate trade group figures were used in the analysis. The McClatchy analysis found the following shadow inventory:
644,000 houses already owned by lenders but not yet for sale.
2.2 million homes whose owners have received initial foreclosure notices or notices of default but haven't yet been foreclosed on.
1.9 million properties whose owners are 90 days or more behind on their payments but haven't yet been served with foreclosure notices.
In hard-hit markets such as Miami, Sacramento, Calif., Las Vegas and Cleveland, McClatchy culled thousands of property records for lender-owned homes and checked whether those homes were being listed on the open market. In a large number of cases, they were not.
Bank of America has owned a small two-bedroom on Northwest 80th Street in Miami since August 2008, when it repossessed the home from the estate of Lucile Moore. Three years later, the property isn't listed for sale on the open market, part of the bank's growing collection of unlisted properties. Bank of America didn't respond to a request for comment about this property.
The bank hasn't paid last year's $2,000 property tax bill. That's an occasional side effect of having behemoth financial institutions as property owners. In foreclosure-riddled Cleveland, financial institutions owe millions in overdue property taxes and grass-cutting fees for vacant and abandoned homes.
"I've seen plenty of cases where the banks don't take care of the homes and we have to take them into court to try and get them to pay the fees," said Mark Parks, projects manager of the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office in Ohio.

LENDERS AVOIDING LOSSES
CitiMortgage has owned a crumbling 111-year colonial home on Laisy Avenue in Cleveland since June 2008, and it owes the city more than $7,500 in fees for grass cutting and property taxes. The home isn't listed for sale. Citibank spokesman Mark Rodgers said the lender was considering donating it to a nonprofit organization.
In the aftermath of the largest home-repossession campaign in history, mortgage lenders are holding properties off the market as a matter of strategy. Flooding the fragile market with an additional 500,000 to 1.1 million homes — many of them deteriorating and selling at deep discounts — would cause already weak prices to fall further.

Mortgage lenders have shown no indication that they're planning to ramp up foreclosure sales, and a growing number of vacant homes have sat idle on banks' balance sheets for several years.
According to the data firm CoreLogic, which has one of the more conservative estimates of shadow inventory, mortgage debt outstanding in the shadow inventory is about $336 billion. Liquidating REO homes through the sales process usually leads to significant write-downs on bank balance sheets.

Wary of seeing such large losses appear in earnest on their books, lenders have been reluctant to deal with bad loans head-on, said Ira Rheingold, the executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates.
"They're afraid," he said. "They don't want to take those paper losses. Their books show that they have these assets that are worth 'X' amount of money. But those values are not real."
In Maricopa County, Ariz., public records show that Bank of America owns about 1,300 properties clustered in cities such as Phoenix and Mesa. Most of those homes aren't being marketed for sale on the lender's designated website for bank-owned properties, where only 440 Phoenix-area homes are shown for sale. Bank of America spokesman Rick Simon said some of the homes not listed on the open market might be advertised directly to investors.
In many parts of the country, the federal government is the largest institutional property owner, as government-run Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration hold about 250,000 homes.
While at least 100,000 of those aren't yet on the market, a review of public records in several states showed that Fannie and Freddie were more likely than other lenders were to liquidate foreclosed homes quickly.
"We don't have a shadow inventory, because our inventory consists of homes that are on the market and homes that we're bringing to market," Fannie Mae spokesman Andrew Wilson said. "Our goal is to sell as quickly as possible."
A WORSENING OUTLOOK
In recent years, the government has directed billions of dollars toward curbing the massive foreclosure crisis, pitching programs that facilitate mortgage modifications and low-stress refinances. While the various measures have had some success, all have fallen far short of expectations, and the growth of the shadow inventory has been virtually unabated.
The outlook for shadow inventory has worsened considerably over the last year because of lender paperwork problems that have gummed up the foreclosure system.
A year ago, major mortgage servicers discovered that employees were systematically cutting corners in the foreclosure process, often signing thousands of false or incomplete legal documents each day.
As details of the "robo-signing" scandal began to spread, lenders hit the brakes on all foreclosures, setting off a yearlong slowdown that continues today.
Banks are struggling to prove that they have legal standing to foreclose, and it now takes them an average of nearly two years to repossess a property, according to Lender Processing Services. In states such as Florida and North Carolina, where foreclosures are handled in court, the timeline is even longer.
More than a million foreclosures that were supposed to be completed this year have been pushed into the future, prolonging the housing crisis, RealtyTrac found.
In August 2010, before the foreclosure slowdown, banks repossessed more than 12,000 homes in Florida. In August 2011, there were only 5,000 repossessions.

Nationwide, there are 2.2 million homes stuck somewhere in the foreclosure process, and many of those cases have completely stalled.
"I've got dozens of foreclosure cases in my office that started in 2008 and are still open," Miami foreclosure defense attorney Dennis Donet said, "with lenders doing absolutely nothing to move these cases forward."
South Florida security guard Lebert Cosley has spent nearly four years fighting a foreclosure on his two-bedroom condo in Lauderdale Lakes, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. As the bank stalled the case while it searched for crucial documents, Cosley's condo association decided to foreclose on him earlier this year, a practice that's become more common recently.
"The bank just stopped sending me information about the case," said Cosley, 65, who claimed that he was a victim of mortgage fraud and is still fighting the case in court. "Then the condo association finally did the foreclosure."
Lenders also are waiting longer before taking action against millions of homeowners who have stopped paying their mortgages.
Nearly 2 million homeowners who haven't paid their mortgages in three months or more haven't received foreclosure filings. About 800,000 of those haven't made payments in more than a year, according to Lender Processing Services.
While some of the holdup can be attributed to foreclosure prevention efforts — mortgage modifications, for example — several banks are using delay as a financial strategy, said Daren Blomquist, a spokesman for RealtyTrac.
Lenders basically are letting delinquent homeowners stay in their homes as a lesser-of-two-evils option. Foreclosing more quickly would mean more empty homes and additional maintenance costs for banks to shoulder. Lenders, already dealing with a mountain of paperwork challenges for homes in foreclosure, would only be adding to their documentation woes by speeding up new filings.
"There are more distressed properties than their foreclosure departments can probably handle," Blomquist said. "Because the foreclosure pipeline is so full, the lenders have delayed foreclosing on those properties."

Additionally, banks aren't selling homes fast enough to justify more aggressive foreclosure filings. Even at the currently slowed pace, foreclosure starts are three times higher than foreclosure sales are, meaning that properties are being loaded onto the conveyor belt much faster than they're being taken off.
"It's kind of like a pig in a python," Blomquist said. "As you start to see more of foreclosure sales and that inventory is cleared out, then you'll begin to see more new filings."
But as lenders hold off on foreclosures, struggling homeowners are strategically gaming the system as well. So-called "strategic defaults" have grown in popularity.
Under a strategic default, homeowners quit paying mortgages they deem bad investments, but they keep living in the homes or renting them out and pocketing the income.
Chae duPont, a Miami foreclosure defense attorney, said a growing number of her clients were opting to default on underwater mortgages if they were unable to get satisfactory loan modifications.
"They're making a decision to continue living in the property for 18 to 36 months and then they negotiate a short sale," she said. "It's not an easy decision, but sometimes it's the only thing that makes financial sense."
In Clark County, Nev., there are more than 28,000 homes where owners haven't paid their mortgages in more than three months but haven't yet been hit with foreclosure filings. Lenders, who already own more than 30,000 homes in greater Las Vegas, don't seem to be in a hurry to take on more: The average foreclosure timeline in Clark County is 19 months.
Nationwide, 2.5 million homeowners are 30 to 60 days behind on payments, a sign that the stagnant economy and tepid housing market continue to push more people into the foreclosure pipeline.
Given the grim outlook, lenders have begun to consider new alternatives to foreclosure. Short sales have increased this year, and real estate agents say the once-onerous process of selling a home for less than what's owed on it has become more streamlined.
Banks also are cutting deals with homeowners who agree to hand over the keys to houses rather than go through legal battles. In some cases, lenders are forking over wads of cash to convince troubled borrowers to leave their homes amicably.
"We have been making enhanced financial relocation offers, primarily in states where the foreclosure timelines are extended," said Jason D. Menke, spokesman for Wells Fargo. "We've been offering as much as $10,000 or $20,000 to borrowers who are willing to do a deed-in-lieu or a short sale."
More aggressive foreclosure-prevention measures, such as principal reductions and debt forgiveness, generally have been kept off the table.
In the meantime, the stalled foreclosure machines are beginning to gear back up again, Blomquist said.
In California, new foreclosure filings jumped 55 percent from July two August, led by huge increases by Bank of America, according to RealtyTrac.
That's not good news for borrowers such as Jill Demmel. She said she stopped making payments on her three-bedroom house in east Sacramento in December 2008, after a severe case of drug-resistant meningitis put her in a hospital for six weeks and forced her to take a year off her job as a lawyer.
Her lender, JPMorgan Chase, filed a foreclosure notice against her in April 2010.
Demmel, 57, is working again but said she couldn't make the $67,000 in back payments and fees she owed. She said one bank representative suggested that she was trying to avoid paying her bills. Her request for a loan modification was turned down in August, a week after the bank sent her a notice that the home she shares with her mother was about to be auctioned.
"This has been the worst experience of my life," Demmel said.
Meanwhile, a group of attorneys general has spent the past year trying to negotiate a settlement with major U.S. banks that are accused of wrongfully foreclosing on homeowners.
The process has been slow, as the banks have rejected calls for widespread principal reductions and public officials have called for steep penalties. California Attorney General Kamala Harris pulled out of the negotiations last month, saying the proposed agreement was "inadequate."
McCabe, the Deerfield Beach consultant, said it was in lenders' best interest to keep hundreds of thousands of struggling borrowers from entering the foreclosure pipeline, even if it meant writing down principal balances for underwater homeowners.
"Unless they agree to do principal reductions coupled with mortgage modifications, these delinquent properties will eventually have to be sold," he said. "Which means more banks will fold, because they can't stomach those losses."

Written and Directed by Sally El Hosaini
Starring James Floyd, Fady Elsayed and Said Taghmaoui
Rashid and Mo (James Floyd and Fady Elsayed) are, on the one hand, the kinds of brothers parents dream of having. Rashid, being the older of the two, looks after his little brother in the tough East London neighborhood they call home. He tries to keep him in school and away from trouble with the local gangs. But when you are surrounded by drugs, guns and violence every day, it isn't easy to avoid it altogether. This is especially difficult when the very brother that you idolize and that is trying to protect you, is also running with those same gangs.
In MY BROTHER THE DEVIL, one incident triggers these brothers' unravelling. When Rashid's best mate, Izzy (Anthony Welsh) is shot and killed in a gang fight that Rashid is involved in, and that Mo witnesses, the reality of life sets in immediately. Rashid realizes that life isn't a game, that when you're dead, you're dead. Mo meanwhile has a different reaction. The killing disturbs him but he still fights for a place in his brother's gang just as his brother is trying to get out. While Mo struggles to find himself and emulate his brother, Rashid deals with the same internal conflict to know who he is now that he has lost his friend. He eventually finds comfort in the arms of Sayyid (Said Taghmaoui), a mutual friend of Izzy's, and then neither brother knows who they are anymore.
MY BROTHER THE DEVIL is Sally El Hosaini's first feature film as a writer and director. Her biggest success before this one would be as assistant director on Paul Greengrass's GREEN ZONE, which I despised. Fortunately, she did not take on Greengrass's infamously shaky camera aesthetic. She demonstrates a strong sense of sensitivity toward her characters but doesn't sacrifice any of the reality needed to make a story like this believable. And while it doesn't bring anything necessarily new to the table, the brothers themselves are a convincing pair. Their once internal struggles become an amalgamated problem that threatens to ruin their relationship. To watch them fight to save it is moving.
MY BROTHER THE DEVIL was the opening night selection for the 2012 INSIDE OUT LGBT film festival. It runs until May 27 in Toronto.

A storybook Brooklyn wedding, pulled off with the help of Two Kindred Event Planners who were hired for the month leading up to the wedding. Photo taken in front of Jane's Carousel in Dumbo by UNIQUE LAPIN Photography.
"Wedding-affordable and real-life affordable, especially in New York, are two very different things," laughs wedding planner Lara G. Mahler. She may be laughing but she definitely isn't kidding. After all, the inspiration for launching her own wedding planning business, THE PRIVILEGE IS MINE, came in 2015 after watching good friends take on loads of stress and hefty bank loans to pay for their wedding day.
"Couples should not have to go into debt to have a wedding," says Mahler, emphatically. And yet it seems entirely plausible that a couple would run that risk. The Knot just released its annual Real Weddings Study, and the average cost of a Brooklyn wedding rings in at $46,808.

The Vatican has launched an official track team – including Swiss Guards – with the aim of competing in international competitions, as part of an agreement signed with the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI).
About 60 Holy See runners – Swiss Guards, priests, nuns, pharmacists and even a 62-year-old professor who works in the Vatican's Apostolic Library – are the first accredited members of Vatican Athletics.

Governor Gavin Newsom released his proposed State Budget today, following are additional highlights for your information.
The Budget proposes $50 million General Fund one-time in 2018-19 to immediately begin a comprehensive, statewide education campaign on disaster preparedness and safety. This effort will focus on community engagement and public education in high-risk areas with an emphasis on public health and safety, and will make local grants available to address local and regional needs.
The Budget proposes $168.5 million in Proposition 68 funds for the State Water Resources Control Board to provide technical assistance, grants, and loans to public water systems in disadvantaged communities for infrastructure improvements to meet safe and affordable drinking water standards, including both drinking water and wastewater treatment projects.
It is imperative that we bring to your attention a serious matter that will be presented to the State Allocation Board (Board) on Wednesday, June 27, 2018. The Board item proposes ceasing the acceptance of applications by OPSC under the School Facility Program (SFP) as bond authority is exhausted. It is anticipated that bond authority for the new construction program will be exhausted this fall and for modernization in 2019. Such action by the Board would jeopardize the continuation of the SFP into the future. The proposal suggests urgency.
We request that you communicate immediately with your legislative representatives asking that they in turn communicate with their Senate and Assembly colleagues on the Board requesting a delay of any action on this proposal at this time. Again, the proposal suggests urgency. This matter is serious and requires a full public vetting.
I strongly recommend that you attend the Board meeting on June 27th to voice your concerns and to request a delay of action.

Part of October Sucks.
New 4K Restoration — Teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to a small coastal California town. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), angst-ridden Michael encounters and falls hard for Star (Jami Gertz), a mysterious bohemian beauty that hangs about town with intimidating gang leader David (Kiefer Sutherland) and his motley crew of stylish ruffians. As Michael falls deeper under the spell of Star and David, Sam and his friends begin to suspect Michael is in danger of falling prey to his mischievous new '"blood brothers" — and the boys must formulate a plan to break up the party.

FYF Fest: Is Late-Night Train Service a Sign for an Expanded Metro Schedule?
FYF Fest: Is Late-Night Train Service a Sign for an Expanded Metro Schedule? | KCET

In hopes of preventing a potentially hectic post-party commute, the organizers of this weekend's FYF Fest have asked the Los Angeles Metro system to extend its rail service hours.
The one-day music festival, which hosted an estimated 20,000 people last year, will take place at the Los Angeles Historic State Park in downtown LA tomorrow, September 3, from 12:00pm-12:00am.
To coordinate with the festival's timing, Gold Line trains will run slightly later. The last train of the night will leave Chinatown station at 12:30am. It usually leaves just before midnight. The last Red Line train will wait to leave Union Station at 12:45am. Both lines will be serviced by extra-long trains throughout the evening.
You can view a summary of the service changes here.
Those additional thirty minutes will make it easier for festival-goers to stay for the entire event. According to a statement on FYF Fest's website, "It is important for the festival to make it work so that attendees can stay till the very end and still hitch a ride home without worry of being stuck in downtown."
To strike this deal, FYF Fest promoters covered the Metro's projected added service costs.
"It is expensive to run additional service," Helen Ortiz Gilstrap, a spokesperson for Metro, tells us over the phone. "It isn't just the operator of the train. It is the control center, the folks who are manning the station, the people who clean, etc."
"All of the monies that are collected go to services rendered," she adds.
Gilstrap says that while Metro has heard requests for later service hours on rail lines, especially for those that connect Hollywood and other nightlife destinations, budget issues are an impediment.
Metro does occasionally run special promotions, like giving free rides on Christmas and on New Year's Eve from 9pm-5am. These initiatives are individually considered and voted on by the board every year.
Metro's special events department is keen to work with event promoters for one-time service extensions, like the deal that they worked out with FYF Fest for tomorrow. But, as of now, they will not be financing them.
Elise Hennigan is a graduate student at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism, which has partnered with KCET-TV to produce this blog about policy in Los Angeles.

Netherfield confirm signing of top international batsman
Netherfield Cricket sign Indian top batsman Ashutosh Singh
PROFESSIONAL: Ashutosh Singh signed to Netherfield Cricket Club (Report: Richard Edmondson)
A NEW Professional signing has been announced for Netherfield Cricket Club ahead of 2022 season.
The club has confirmed the signing of Indian top order batsman Ashutosh Singh as their new Professional.
Singh who is also an off-break spin bowler comes to Parkside Road with an impressive CV following his exploits in India, for what will be his first-time playing cricket in the United Kingdom.
Singh is a dynamic batsman currently playing first class cricket in India for Chhatisgarh state side.
A proven performer at first class level with four hundred and six fifties to his name to date at a healthy average over 30.
He has also performed well at the one-day format averaging just short of 40.
At club level Ashutosh is a more than capable off break bowler and has taken some very important wickets in the shorter first-class formats.
In the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy he was the leading run scorer for Chhattisgarh with 467 runs in just six matches.
In July 2018 he was named in the squad for the India Red for the 2018-19 Duleep Trophy.
He was also the leading run scorer for his state in the 2018-19 Vijay Hazare Trophy with 211 runs in six matches.
Asutosh who will be joining in time for the opening day of the season expressed his delight in signing for Netherfield Cricket Club in an exclusive interview with The Kendal & District Sports Review.
Asutosh said: "I am really pleased to have been signed by Netherfield Cricket Club, I have heard about the club as well as the facilities and it's wonderful to be part of it all.
"However, I really want to explore my capabilities as a Professional and grow as a cricketer, and I am keen to take on the challenges of playing in different conditions.
"My overall aim is to put up some wonderful performances and help the club win a trophy and I am hoping for an excellent first season during 2022."
The Club have also confirmed that Matt Jackson takes over the club captaincy, where he replaces Ben Barrow, while Dan Bernet is the new vice-captain.
Josh Charles becomes the second team captain with Robbie Dwyer as the vice-captain while Steve Wilson retains the third team captaincy.
News over the fourth team will be confirmed in due course as the club continue to prepare for what they hope will be a good season.


MONHEIM, Germany - Bayer cares about bees.
Or at least that's what they tell you at the company's Bee Care Center on its sprawling campus here between Düsseldorf and Cologne. Outside the cozy two-story building that houses the center is a whimsical yellow sculpture of a bee. Inside, the same image is fashioned into paper clips, or printed on napkins and mugs.
"Bayer is strictly committed to bee health," said Gillian Mansfield, an official specializing in strategic messaging at the company's Bayer CropScience division. She was sitting at the center's semicircular coffee bar, which has a formidable espresso maker and, if you ask, homegrown Bayer honey. On the surrounding walls, bee fun facts are written in English, like "A bee can fly at roughly 16 miles an hour" or, it takes "nectar from some two million flowers in order to produce a pound of honey." Next year, Bayer will open another Bee Care Center in Raleigh, N.C., and has not ruled out more in other parts of the world.
There is, of course, a slight caveat to all this buzzy good will.
Bayer is one of the major producers of a type of pesticide that the European Union has linked to the large-scale die-offs of honey bee populations in North America and Western Europe. They are known as neonicotinoids, a relatively new nicotine-derived class of pesticide. The pesticide was banned this year for use on many flowering crops in Europe that attract honey bees.


The Scottish Football Association has apologised and offered refunds to disabled fans who had their view of the Scotland-Germany match at Hampden obscured by advertising boards.
Photos on social media showed areas reserved for fans in wheelchairs gave a limited view of the match because of the advertising surrounding the pitch.
Responding to BBC reporter Mark Daly on Twitter, SFA chief executive Stewart Regan said it was "unacceptable".
The SFA said it will review its policy.
In a statement, it said: "The Scottish FA apologises unreservedly to those supporters accommodated in the South Stand accessible areas whose view was seriously restricted by the double television production.
"We will offer a full refund to those supporters affected and will review matters ahead of the European qualifier against Poland next month."
Keith Ferguson of the Scottish Disabled Supporters Association told BBC Radio Scotland those affected were very disappointed.
"Some went home before the game even started as they realised they wouldn't be able to see the game and there wasn't any alternatives," he explained.
"A few people found some other areas at which to view the game. A few wheelchair users managed to transfer and struggle on to seats to watch the game but for everybody that was involved this was a very disappointing situation."
SFA chief executive Stewart Regan was made aware of the problem midway through the first half.
"I was notified and it was extremely disappointing and unacceptable as far as the SFA is concerned," he told Newsdrive.
"We've got a very good relationship with the Scotland Disabled Supporters' Association. I've carried out a full investigation today and the situation was caused by the instillation of double production boards to allow the match to be advertised back in Germany.
"It's the first time we've had such a system in place. Unfortunately, the sight lines weren't checked as thoroughly as they should've been.
"There was a vital part of the pre-match check that didn't happen. That situation will be resolved in time for the Poland match [on 8 October]. We will be having double production again and there will be advertising boards again."
Mr Ferguson confirmed he has been speaking to the SFA and is confident there will not be a repeat of Monday's issues.
"They were quite horrified that it had ended up this way and were full of apologies," he added. "They felt very sorry for the fans involved and acknowledge that something went badly wrong.
"The association said it will continue to work with clubs around the country to make sure wheelchair users can enjoy games in elevated positions, under cover and with views unobstructed by staff or advertising.
"It takes time to get stadiums upgraded. Some are old but over the last couple of years we have seen a lot of improvements in Scotland working with the clubs and hopefully that will continue."
How can Scotland reach Euro 2016?


2006. Individual attenuation events were compared with the concurrent meteorological situations and were classified according to the causes of their origin. The records of observed attenuation events were statistically processed. Cumulative distributions of attenuation due to all hydrometeors together as well as due to individual hydrometeors were obtained. The influences of individual hydrometeors were analysed and the availability performances of both the simulated 850 nm/58 GHz hybrid link and the 850 nm/93 GHz hybrid link were evaluated. It is concluded the significantly higher availability performances were achieved for the simulated FSO/RF hybrid systems than for the FSO link alone. The diversity improvement factor reached significant values for attenuation greater than 10 dB and the significant diversity gain was obtained for the percentages of time smaller than 1%.

Hawaiian Shade Plants
By: Sharon Penn
Although people think of Hawaii as a tropical paradise with plants flowering in the full sun, some plants thrive in the shade on the islands. Plants are an integral part of the history of Hawaii, and scientists study ethnobotany to learn the traditional cultural uses of various plants. When the Hawaiian Islands were settled, inhabitants depended on plants to provide food, gourds to carry water, clothes, fishing nets, instruments and ropes.
Hawaiian Ti Plant
The Hawaiian Ti Plant is the common name for Cordyline fruticosa. It can thrive in an shady exposure as well as in the full sun. This interesting plant has leaves that are pink and green. The pink color with some white becomes dominant when the plant is grown in the shade, and the green color dominates when the plant is grown in the sun. The Ti Plant grows to a height of 10 feet, with a medium growth rate. Leaves are used in decorative displays, and also as a wrapping for food. The Hawaiian Ti Plant is sometimes referred to as the "good luck plant."
Although people think of Hawaii as a tropical paradise with plants flowering in the full sun, some plants thrive in the shade on the islands.
Hawaiian Volcano Plant – Pink Anthurium
The distinctive Hawaiian Volcano Plant is a Pink Anthurium grown in volcanic cinder that was produced when the Kilauea Volcano erupted on the island of Hawaii in 1955. They do well in the shade, and have been hybridized for use as houseplants. These plants have glossy green foliage and bright pink flowers. When they enjoy proper growing conditions, they flower for a long duration.
Etlingera Venusta
The Etlingera Venusta has flowers in a dramatic torchiere shape that appear during spring and summer seasons. This ginger plant blooms prolifically, and grows to 7 or 8 feet tall. The flowers are approximately 2 to 3 feet. The Etlingera Venusta is easy to grow under tropical conditions. It tolerates medium shade to full sun.

Heliconia Aemygdiana
The Heliconia Aemygdiana is a subspecies of the transdiana. Originally from South America, this plant features broad leaves, thick stems and dramatic, intensely colored slender rose bracts. It grows to 6 feet, and the leaves are shiny and erect. The plant will do well if it is sheltered from the wind with some shade.

It only takes a few days or weeks for a clean kitchen pantry to become messy. The clutter contained behind a closed door helps us keep the mess "out of sight, out of mind"…until we open the door to grab something. However, the mess alone isn't as bad as realizing how much food has expired due to forgetting we even had it because it was hidden underneath other items. An easy way to save on groceries is to keep an organized pantry all the time. It's easy to keep up with exactly what you have at home and what you need at the store. Today, Betenbough Homes shares creative pantry organization tips to help homeowners save money.
For less than $12 at Walmart, purchase an over-the-door shoe organizer to hang on your pantry door. Throw away the boxes and store snacks and other items in each shoe slot. A good side note is to store the healthy snacks down low if there are little ones in the house. That way they will be more likely to reach for those when they are hungry.
An office magazine rack shouldn't be limited to magazines only. Ever think about storing canned goods such as green beans and corn in the rack? This idea is a perfect space saver!
For condiments, a good organization tip would be to purchase a small Lazy Susan. It takes up less space you can see what you have on the turntable.
A good way to organize foil and plastic wrap is with adhesive hooks. Place the hooks on the inside of either the pantry door or a cabinet door about 10 inches apart, and wedge the rolls between them.
Need a spot for packets like Kool-Aid, gravy, oatmeal, or hot chocolate? Purchase several inexpensive sink caddies and place them on the wall inside the pantry. This allows for easy access and knowing how much you have left of the item.

Manish Sisodia, Admitted To Hospital With COVID-19, Also Has Dengue
سپتامبر 24, 2020 سپتامبر 24, 2020 از elementorsite
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia tested positive for coronavirus last week.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was admitted to hospital a day ago after earlier having tested positive for the coronavirus, also has dengue, officials said on Thursday.
Mr Sisodia, who was admitted to the city's Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Hospital with fever and complaints of breathing difficulties, has falling levels of blood platelets, doctors said.
He had been under self-isolation at his official residence since testing positive for the highly contagious disease on September 14.
Patients who do not have co-morbidities or complications and do not belong to the vulnerable age group are advised home quarantine.
On September 14, Mr Sisodia had tweeted to announce his positive status and warn those who came in contact with him.
"After suffering from mild fever, I took a coronavirus test and turned out to be positive. I have isolated myself. I don't have a fever or any other problem as of now, I am absolutely fine. With your prayers, I am sure I will return to work after regaining my health," he tweeted in Hindi.
The 48-year-old, along with other ministers, had been actively involved in Delhi's fight against the pandemic, addressing virtual press briefings, inspecting Covid facilities and overseeing the management of the disease.
With 3,834 new coronavirus cases, Delhi's infection tally crossed 2.6 lakh on Thursday, while the number of deaths climbed to 5,123, authorities said. Thirty-six deaths due to COVID-19 were recorded in the last 24 hours.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, meanwhile, said the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic has hit its peak in the national capital with experts hinting that the cases of infection will decline in the coming days.
He said the government was "keeping its fingers crossed" and hoped that COVID-19 cases will "gradually" come down due to the steps taken by the Aam Aadmi Party administration as he tried to allay fears over the surge in the number of coronavirus cases in the last few days.

The Jung Podcast
An engaging working through of Carl Jung's Analytical Psychology, focussing on the psyche, dreams, fairy tales, myths and individuation.
JUNG PODCAST #31 - JUNGIAN ANALYSIS2
JUNG PODCAST #31 - JUNGIAN ANALYSIS 2
In this episode I continue with Murray Stein's quote on analysis; I examine issues such as frequency and length of session, couch vs. chair.
"Jungian analysis, which takes place in a dialectical relationship between analyst and analysand, has for its goal the analysand's movement toward psychological wholeness. This transformation of the personality requires coming to terms with the unconscious, its specific structures and their dynamic relations to consciousness as these become available during the course of analysis. Transformation also depends upon the significant modification of the unconscious structures that shape and control ego-consciousness at the beginning of analysis, a change that takes place through the constellation of archetypal structures and dynamics in the interactive field between analyst and analysand" (Stein, 1995, p. 33).

JUNG PODCAST#30 - ANALYSIS 1
In this episode I begin to discuss the central idea of the practice of Analytical Psychology, that of Jungian Analysis. Before I delve into the topic, I discuss why people come to analysis, and what happens in the first hour. I focus on Murray Stein's definition of analysis : "Jungian psychotherapists hold the notion of psychological development, of 'stages of life', and we ask ourselves questions about the levels of psychological development demonstrated in the narratives offered by the people who come to us. Does a person's discourse show a good match, we wonder for instance, between chronological age and psychological attitudes? The full clinical impression of a person's level or degree of psychological development takes many sessions and much observation to formulate in depth and detail. It is an estimate of their achieved individuation. Individuation is a term used to indicate a person's potential for full psychological development. In its simplest formula, individuation is the capacity for a wholeness and evolved consciousness. The aim of analysis is to increase and to promote individuation in patients." (Stein, 2006, p197)

JUNG PODCAST#27-INDIVIDUATION2
JUNG PODCAST #27 IN INDIVIDUATION 2
In this episode I continue with the material on individuation. I examine the early use by Jung of the term 'Individuation', then work through some of the issues of Jung's conceptualization of the personality in terms of the first and second halves of life. The latter part of the episode begins with the first of three stages of individuation as conceptualized by Murray Stein - the containing/nurturing stage.
In this episode we begin working through Jung's central idea of Individuation. The first episode will focus on material from the Collected Works of Jung. I attempt to define individuation and give examples of some of the tricky issues that crop up whenever we deal with the topic. Issues such as Why individuate anyway? What are collective values? What has the encounter with the unconscious to do with this process of individuation? Why is individuation seen as a crime against the collective values?

JUNG PODCAST #22 - ACTIVE IMAGINATION 2
We continue to work through Jung's critical essay on the Transcendent function. I give specific guidance as to how one might enter into an active imagination. Very important in this process is being aware of the real risks that delving into the unconscious pose.

JUNG PODCAST #21-ACTIVE IMAGINATION
Many subscribers have asked me to deal with the topic of active imagination. In this episode I introduce both active imagination and the transcendent function, as both concepts are linked. Active imagination, or "dreaming with your eyes open? and the transcendent function (the bridging function that mediates the opposites) are central ideas within Analytical Psychology. Why then did Jung refuse to publish the only clear essay on the two areas he wrote in 1916 until 1956? What is it about the transcendent function that is so mysterious. This, and the next few episodes attempts to deal with that very question.

JUNG PODCAST #19 – THE INTERPRETATION OF FAIRY TALES PART 6
We continue our amplifications of the symbols of the fairy tale we are interpreting, The Nixie of the Mill-Pond. Central symbols such as the golden comb, golden spinning-wheel, and golden flute are dealt with. The amplifications of these symbols are rather extensive in an attempt to demonstrate just what we are able to do with symbols, especially those found in fairy tales or dreams. Bear in mind as you listen to this episode that all the characters of the tale are structures of the psyche viz. The miller is the ego, the wife is the anima etc. The central symbol dictionaries used are Cooper, Cirlot, Biedermann and Herder, as well as von Frantz's texts of the interpretation of fairy tales and the feminine in fairy tales.
JUNG PODCAST #18 - THE INTERPRETATION OF FAIRY TALES PART 5
In this episode we continue with the interpretation of "The Nixie of the Mill-Pond" with a focus on which symbols to amplify and how.
JUNG PODCAST #17-TALE4
JUNG PODCAST #16 - FAIRY TALES 3
In this episode we continue with a Jungian approach to fairy tale interpretation. I introduce the "Moreau Guidelines", a concise overview of how one may interpret a fairy tale. The Moreau Guidelines are covered in detail. The first step of an interpretation, using these guidelines is explained, with examples from Grimm's (Rapunzel, The Devil's Sooty Brother, The Raven). Four core ideas are presented : all elements of the fairy tale are elements of a single psyche; all the characters in the fairy tale represent structures of the same psyche; we have to take an interpretive stance for the fairy tale based on whether we feel the tale represents a masculine or a feminine psyche; all the elements of the tale are symbolic.
JUNG PODCAST #2-MODEL OF THE PSYCHE
Jung Podcast #2 - Jung's Model of the Psyche
In this episode I cover the fundamental aspects of the psyche and review the core structures associated with each such aspect. To assist in our model development, I have used Jung's topographical model of the psyche. We begin with seeing the psyche as comprising four aspects – consciousness, the personal unconscious, the collective unconscious and the body. The structures within the first three aspects are the ego, complexes and archetypes respectively. The five functions of the ego are reviewed. The contents of the personal unconscious, in the form of complexes, are dealt with in depth to assist in gaining an understanding of how, when our complexes are constellated, they imp[act certain of the ego's functions. Archetypes are simply defined as symbol-producing structures of the collective unconscious. A link between the three strata of the psyche (conscious, personal unconscious, collective unconscious) is made with the body.

JUNG PODCAST #15 – FAIRY TALES 2
In this episode we continue with Luthi's analysis of the European Folk Tale. In the previous episode we dealt with the one-dimensionality and the abstract nature of the fairy tale. In this episode, Luthi's ideas about the depthlessness of the fairy tale is reviewed. These three issues of fairy tales – one-dimensionality, abstractness and depthlessness are all critical aspects in dealing with a Jungian interpretation of the fairy tale. We also deal with why the fairy tale is so important to interpret from a Jungian perspective, primarily because it offers the purest example of the collective unconscious and also gives us a detailed sense of the process of individuation of the human psyche. Finally, this episode has a reading of the text of the classic Grimm's tale of "The Nixie of the Mill-Pond?, the tale we'll use as a basis for our first interpretation.
JUNG PODCAST #14-TALES1
This episode deals with a new and critical issue in our study of Analytical Psychology, that of the interpretation of Fairy Tales. You may ask why we should address this issue? Well, in interpreting the Fairy Tale, we get to examine an example of what von Frantz says is 'the purest and simplest expression of collective unconscious psychic processes.' As a dream is a pure example of symbolic material, but more often about the contents of the personal unconscious, the Fairy Tale represents the contents of the collective unconscious, the archetypes. The other critical issue in the interpretation of Fairy Tales is that we see in the tale an example of an individuation process. Working with Fairy Tales takes our knowledge of the psychodynamics and structures of the psyche to a deeper level and, together with the interpretation of dreams and art, enables us to interpret a wide variety of symbolic material such as movies, literature and expressive art.
JUNG PODCAST #13 TYPE3
In this episode, the third and final part on Jung's typology, I cover the tricky issue of determining one's superior function. Also, we understand why Jung argued that the process of differentiation was vital to our individuation as it permits the development of a broader use of all of our typology, by making the four functions more conscious. The episode also deals with the role of the inferior function in our psyche, as a "portal" between the unconscious and consciousness through which we experience the Shadow, the Anima and the Animus (amongst others).

JUNG'S THEORY OF TYPOLOGY PART 2
In this episode I continue with an overview of the extraverted and introverted attitudes, as well as review the four functions in terms of the perceiving and judging functions. We also examine the superior and inferior functions in an attempt to understand how these are simply ways of dealing consciously with the world. As the inferior function is an attribute of the psyche that often trips us up, this is a critical aspect of our continued development of the fundamentals of Carl Jung's Analytical Psychology. Examples are given to aid our understanding of these aspects of typology.
JUNG PODCAST #11 JUNG'S THEORY OF TYPOLOGY part1
In this episode I introduce the fundamentals of Jung's theory of typology. I overview some of the issues pertaining to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and offer statements from Jung that caution us against viewing type as a rigid form of categorisation of people. The two attitudes – extraversion and introversion are explained using quotes from Jung, Beebe and Sharp. In order to understand Jung's idea that introversion is the withdrawal of libido from the object and extraversion is the investing of the object with libido I offer basic ideas from object relations theory and a critical quote from John Beebe who argues that libido is invested in or withdrawn from an archetypal image.
