King of the Kitchen
By Bru Baker
Rising kitchen talents Beck Douglas and Duncan Walters have been on the foodie paparazzi radar for years, since their status as heirs to two of the biggest celebrity chef empires around makes them culinary royalty. Beck is known for his charm and traditional food as cohost of his uncle's popular TV cooking show, while Duncan earned himself a reputation as a culinary bad boy, both for his refusal to work in his father's restaurants and his avant-garde approach to cooking.
They're also heirs to a food rivalry that could put the Hatfields and McCoys to shame, and when they're photographed in the middle of a heated argument, the press goes wild with speculation. Damage control ensues, with a fake friendship engineered by PR cronies that leaves both of them secretly pining for more.
Beck chafes under his uncle's micromanagement, and Duncan's relationship with his homophobic father becomes even more tenuous when Beck and Duncan start getting closer. It's hard to hide their chemistry on national television when Duncan joins Beck's cooking show, but they won't be able to take their relationship—or their careers—to the next level without breaking a few eggs.

Peter Stevens believes nothing tastes better than a vine-ripened tomato tended by a farmer's hands. The craving for heirloom tomatoes leads him to his local farmers' market and his favorite vendor, Ethan Hart. As Peter becomes a regular customer, the two find they have more in common than a love of good food. Just as Ethan begins to relax, Peter's ex, Jay, appears and is all the things Ethan is not. A perfect storm of mistakes and poor choices, as well as Ethan's haunted past, has him ready to admit defeat. With the guidance of friends and a goat far too smart for her own good, Ethan realizes he needs to have a tender hand and patience to grow a home for Peter.
Dinner at Home
By Rick R. Reed
It only takes a few days for Ollie D'Angelo to lose his boyfriend, his job, and his home. Instead of mourning what he doesn't have, Ollie celebrates what he does: the freedom to pursue his real passion—cooking. He begins Dinner at Home, a home-catering business, and it takes off.
Late one night, Ollie catches Hank Mellinger, a streetwise hood down on his luck, about to rob his car. Ollie soon discovers that appearances aren't necessarily what they seem. Hank isn't a criminal caught red-handed, but a hungry young man trying to make a life for himself and the four-year-old niece he's trying desperately to take care of.
Instead of calling the cops, Ollie offers Hank a job and a way to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Together, they discover they can really cook... and that their shared passion for food just might lead to a passion for each other.

Q: PHP and XPath get distinct attribute by condition I'm using PHP to parse XML and would like to use XPATH to return a unique section value based on a system and front value condition.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<language>
    <phrase section="Url" system="0" front="1" data="_URL_M1">invoice</phrase>
    <phrase section="Url" system="0" front="1" data="_URL_M2">view</phrase>
    <phrase section="Invoice" system="1" front="0" data="_MOD_IM1">System1</phrase>
    <phrase section="Invoice" system="1" front="0" data="_MOD_IM2">System2</phrase>
    <phrase section="Invoice" system="0" front="1" data="_MOD_IM3">Front1</phrase>
    <phrase section="Invoice" system="0" front="1" data="_MOD_IM4">Front2</phrase>
    <phrase section="Invoice" system="1" front="1" data="_MOD_IM5">System and Front</phrase>
</language>

So I have section Url which is only displayed where front = 1 and section Invoice which is displayed where front = 1 and where front and system (both) = 1. Sections need to be displayed distinctly.
PHP:
$xmlel = simplexml_load_file(BASEPATH . self::langdir . $flag . "/" . $filename . ".xml");

$query_system = '/language/phrase[@system="1" and @front="0" and not(@section = preceding-sibling::phrase/@section)]/@section';

$query_front = '/language/phrase[@system="0" and @front="1" and not(@section = preceding-sibling::phrase/@section)]/@section';

$query_both = '/language/phrase[@system="1" and @front="1" and not(@section = preceding-sibling::phrase/@section)]/@section';

With current code I am getting this:
System: $xmlel->xpath($query_system)
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [@attributes] => Array
            (
                [section] => Invoice
            )

    )
)

Front: $xmlel->xpath($query_front)
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [@attributes] => Array
            (
                [section] => Url
            )

    )
)

Both: $xmlel->xpath($query_both)
Array
(
)

What I want to achieve:
System:
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [@attributes] => Array
            (
                [section] => Invoice
            )

    )
)

Front:
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [@attributes] => Array
            (
                [section] => Url
            )

    )
)
[1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [@attributes] => Array
            (
                [section] => Invoice
            )

    )
)

Both:
Array
(
[0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
        [@attributes] => Array
            (
                [section] => Invoice
            )

    )
)

How can I get distinct section

where: system = 1,

where front = 1

and where system and front = 1

A: Ok, so I came to the conclusion that I also need to condition preceding-sibling:
$query_system = '/language/phrase[@system="1" and @front="0" and not(@section = preceding-sibling::*[@system="1" and @front="0"]/@section)]/@section';
$query_front = '/language/phrase[@system="0" and @front="1" and not(@section = preceding-sibling::*[@system="0" and @front="1"]/@section)]/@section';
$query_both = '/language/phrase[@system="1" and @front="1" and not(@section = preceding-sibling::*[@system="1" and @front="1"]/@section)]/@section';

Our Singapore Conversation is a national conversation initiative first announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during his 2012 National Day Message.

Heng Swee Keat, then Minister for Education of Singapore, was appointed to lead the committee that will participate in the conversations with Singaporeans to create "a home with hope and heart".

The committee held the first of an estimated 30 dialogue sessions with Singaporeans on 13 October 2012, involving "about 60 people from all walks of life, including taxi drivers, professionals, full-time national servicemen, university undergraduates and retirees."

Committee
In PM Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Message, he promised that the committee leading the national conversation would be representative of the different segments of Singapore's society. This full list of 26 members of the committee was only announced later. Apart from 7 political office holders, the committee also included a taxi driver, a polytechnic student, an artist and a television host.

Platforms
Various offline and online platforms have been set up to facilitate the conversation process, including a website and a Facebook page. The FB Page has since "garnered close to a hundred responses" as of early September 2012.

Local political observers have stated that for the National Conversation to be successful, it will be important to reach out to the silent majority.

Participation by civil servants
On 11 October 2012, Singapore media reported that the country's 76,000 civil servants would be allowed to contribute to the Our Singapore Conversation with the lifting of a long-standing gag order preventing public servants from speaking publicly on government policies, although they are still not allowed to talk "about their current work or policies they worked on."

Release of "Reflections"
On 10 August 2013, days after the engagements are completed, a newsletter called Reflections was released with the views of 47,000 people who took part in the conversations. The newsletter detailed five "aspirations" to guide future policies, being "opportunities" in the economy, "assurance" that people can access housing and affordable healthcare, "purpose" in lives where all achievements are celebrated beyond just economic ones with shared memories and heritage spaces valued, having community "spirit" with ground-up efforts and the disadvantaged taken care off and having "trust" between the Government and Singaporeans. In addition, many policy changes were announced in housing, healthcare and education, including a revamp to the Primary School Leaving Examination. This was done during that year's National Day Rally.

Q: JQ Not Taking In Variable Data I am unsuccessfully trying to add variable data to a json within a ci script.  I am attempting to use the --arg VariableName VariableData notation.
For example purposes, I am only passing $date which has already been set earlier in the script.  In the outputted JSON, the literal string $date is outputted instead of the variable.
jq --arg date "$date" '.sections[0].builds += [{"title": "Version MyVersion", "timestamp": "$date", "iOS": "My_URL.plist" }]' builds.json > builds1.json

This results in:
{
  "title": "MY Title",
  "columnCount": 1,
  "notes_OFF": "First_Test",
  "sections": [
    {
      "title": "My Title",

          "iOS": "My_URL.plist"
        }

  "sections": [
    {
      "title": "My Title",

      ]
    }
  ]
}

What am I doing wrong here?

A: Replace "$date" with $date in your filter.


Hillary Clinton spent tons of time campaigning for many mid-term candidates in 2014 — did 18 states signal her affection for the 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling? And no doubt she heard a variety of campaign songs chosen by those candidates to inspire the crowds that turned out at rallies.
So now that Hillary Clinton has her sights officially set on the White House, will she channel her own inner Stevie Nicks and choose a Fleetwood Mac classic as her husband did? Or will she select something that says 'I'm focused on the future' rather than 'let's get nostalgic'?
Pop phenom Taylor Swift may have the perfect choice with "Shake It Off." While "Shake It Off" hasn't been received by music critics as one of Swift's better efforts, it could be just the thing Hillary needs for her 2016 run, especially as she seems to be the in doldrums of the constant media barrage of nobody likes Hillary!
1. It will resonate with the the young women who were teens when Hillary ran for the White House in 2008. Innumerable teen girls were inspired by her run then, and urged their moms to volunteer for her. Those girls couldn't vote in that election, but they will be old enough to cast a ballot in 2016. For that group of young women, Swift still resonates. And if Hillary channels that vibe, she could find a way to start a connection with that very important demographic — Millennials. Plus, she'll get their moms, too. And who do you need to win elections? Women!
2. It takes on the gendered coverage she endured in the 2008 campaign, and is sure to experience again, in a playful, yet clear, way. She's not going to take anymore talk of cankles, cackles or crows-feet. Hillary can just play that song over and over as her own personal mantra .
3. It's a new & improved HRC — no Fleetwood Mac nostalgia for a second Hillary Clinton run. No Golden Earring or Celine Dion. She's going to need something current, especially as naysayers will focus on her Baby Boomer age. Toss in some music that's got 2016 written on it, and suddenly her 60s are the new 40s!
4. She wants to get in on the women's empowerment movement. Actually, she has to get in on it. Events and books and mantras dedicated to a new wave of women's empowerment are everywhere. And, of course, that's what Taylor Swift and her music are all about.
5. Shake it off is shorthand for her campaign strategy. In 2008, Hillary couldn't help herself from responding to Barack Obama's digs — you're likable enough and that having tea with foreign dignitaries doesn't count as foreign policy (yeah, the president was being so likable himself, right?). Hillary allowed herself to get pulled into those jabs, but that's not going to happen again. She'll really shake that stuff off and stay on message.
6. She may want to woo Taylor Swift to appear on the campaign trail for her, almost guaranteeing that Millennials will turn out for campaign events. A free Taylor Swift show? You know they'd be there.
Hillary might need to choose a different anthem if she wins the 2016 Democratic nomination. "Shake It Up" might not be the right choice for a celebratory evening with the party faithful at a political convention. But it could be just the right selection once HRC to incorporate her haters' hate as a tool to rally the faithful.
As for Taylor Swift, if Hillary chooses this song, I see an invitation for a White House sleepover in 2017. That might be enough to bring Chelsea back with a then three-year-old Charlotte in tow to introduce her to the tween/teen empowerment music of Swift, as well as her White House legacy.

Hi! I am a regular visitor in your blog as I have found it very informative. I am a newbie in digital drawing and would like to know what software do you prefer newbies to use... Photoshop or manga studio? I would like to start my own web-comic and learning how to draw manga.. Thanks!
Oh... No reply yet? I guess you are very busy lately. Happy new year!
Joey> Sorry, this post is about two years old, and it got lost somewhere. :) Anyway, try out Gimp, if you come and read this blog daily or once every couple of days, you would probably find more informative info. GIMP is free, but it is the best open source software for painting. The best out of the free ones, I like it better than Manga Studio.
Cheers! Sorry about the delay.
This site is awesome!!! I actually gave up on my drawings until I wound up on this site. I really like the drawings here-- especially the dark elf.
Anonymous: Thanks man! Did you see the final version of this one?


Most of you would have seen some really horrifying motorcycle crashes. The crash video we have today, however, is slightly different from many other videos we've featured before. The video starts with the motorcycle rider excitedly talking about the time when he bought a brand-new Yamaha R1 superbike. The clip then goes on to show the enthusiasm of the R1-owner and his biking buddies. Towards the end of the video, the motorcyclist meets with a really high-speed accident. Luckily, however, the rider lives to tell the tale.
Actually, the rider can be seen doing high speeds on a well-paved expressway with sparse traffic. While the video doesn't show the exact speed of the motorcycle, the fact that the R1 was simply flying past most of the traffic hints at quite a high speed. All's fine until the superbike approaches a corner. On watching the video carefully, you can see that the camera shook rather abruptly just a moment before the motorcycle enters the corner.
Well, there are many answers to this. One can say that lady luck probably smiled on him and helped him recover from the crash. You can also say that the timely help of his friends saved him. However, one of the biggest reasons for his survival is his riding gear. Luckily, the rider was wearing riding overalls and what looks like a high-quality helmet. His riding gear must have played a great role in saving him from the life-threatening crash.
While this crash happened a while ago, it's only now that the rider has uploaded the footage online. He says that earlier he didn't feel like sharing the footage. However, the various accounts of bikers who sustained serious injuries in accidents made him upload the footage. He goes on to say that he wants other riders to learn from his mistake. While the video is not too disturbing and doesn't show blood and other gory details, it's a pretty spine-chilling feeling to see someone crash at such a high speed.

Online Networks Can Help Job Search
By Ilyce Glink| 2017-07-06T14:20:18-05:00 July 1st, 2005|
There's nothing tougher than looking for a new job: You're frustrated, you need to pay bills, and you need an opportunity to prove yourself to a prospective employer.
But how do you bypass the Human Resources department to network with those actually doing the hiring? As my grandfather once said, nobody gets a job in this country if they don't know somebody.
A new website, LinkedIn,com, is helping job seekers network their way to a new employment opportunities.
It sounds old fashioned but it's true, most people get their best jobs by being referred by someone who already has an association with the company.
Pedro Cesar, a 28-year-old management consultant and recent graduate of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management said he got his first job out of college through a recommendation from a professor.
"In college I used to be a research assistant for a professor and when it came time to find a job I ended up working at an investment bank where he was a consultant," said Cesar. "The relationships you establish with people become very important for job mobility in the future."
The last estimate by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, released in May of 2005, said 5.1 percent of Americans remain unemployed. As web sites and human resource departments continue to be inundated with resumes – too many to read, in some cases – your resume along with those of 7.6 million other people get filed away, perhaps even in the dreaded "circular file."
Ken Gaebler, president and founder of Grand Roads Executive Search, a recruiting company that places management personnel, says traditional online job boards like Monster or Career Builder are no longer cutting it for most employers because they don't establish enough of a link between the applicant and the company.
"It's an impersonal process," said Gaebler. "You get hundreds of resumes all with similar backgrounds and directed to 'To Whom it May Concern.' It's hard to put it all in perspective."
"The fact is, a referral from someone goes a long way because a third party is vouching for the value of your work and your character," said Gaebler. "This makes an employer feel more confident in their decision to hire you because there is now a direct connection between you and the company."
Establishing and keeping networking connections isn't always easy. Many people do not have high-exposure jobs that require the exchange of casual conversations and business cards. But the Internet is making things easier.
E-mail has overridden the use of phone calls and hand or typewritten letters in the same way that the traditional marketing and advertising industry reengineered itself to include the web world. The advent of social .COM's like Friendster, Myspace, Orkut, and Meetup have made it easy to keep in touch with friends, colleagues, and associates .
"I am a member of two of these types of sites," said Josue Munoz, a 22-year-old Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Florida. "They are useful because they help me keep track of people back home I would otherwise not have contact with."
Sites like Friendster, which boasts a membership of over 17 million people, were originally aimed at transforming the world of online dating by introducing singles with other singles within their circle of friends. Yet, as of March, 2005, a San Francisco based company called LinkedIn.com decided to expand this concept to help job seekers and recruiters.
LinkedIn tackled the impersonality of job hunting by creating the first referral-powered job board on the web. Cesar, who is a LInkedIn member says it is being used by many of his colleagues and friends as a way of organization their networks.
"One of the huge assets you get from going to Business School is the relationships you gain from being there," said Cesar. "Even if I am not looking for a job right now, it is a good way to keep track of relationships and how your peer's careers are developing."
The site is populated by business executives and human resources personnel from companies as well known as Yahoo! and Merrill Lynch, to those of small start-ups. Though companies pay LinkedIn $95 dollars to list a job for 30 days, membership is free to job seekers.
"I recently became a member because a friend recommended the site to me," said Yndira Marin, an intern at the Organization of American States (OEA) in Washington D.C. "Coming from Venezuela I didn't have contacts in this country and I felt it was important to reach out in anyway possible."
Through LinkedIn, jobseekers are not only allowed to post resumes but also to add to job application forms a one-page summary of referrals from someone who might have a contact at the target company.
"LinkedIn gets you the contacts and recommendation to get you the interview," said Marin. "You know nobody gets a job in this country without knowing somebody."

Why does the Hiring Team receive a candidate withdrawn notification after a merge? — Cloud Customer Connect
Why does the Hiring Team receive a candidate withdrawn notification after a merge?
Sep 1, 2021 7:43PM edited Sep 1, 2021 7:43PM in Recruiting, Opportunity Marketplace 8 comments
We recently had a candidate who is an ex-employee, after they accepted the offer we moved to HR which triggered the duplicate check. We selected to merge the candidate with the ex-employee record. The merge was successful, but we noticed it put the candidate in a withdrawn state, and sent a notification to the hiring team that the candidate withdrew. Is this the only notification that can be used in this situation? We don't want to disable the notification in the event a candidate actually withdraws their application or offer, however it seems a bit misleading as the candidate did

The �70s and the �80s could be easily described as the �computer war�. Every company had a new kind of computer, better than the last that they wanted to change the world. Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before one was adopted as the standard, with all the advantages for software compatibility this would bring � and they were desperate for it to be their model that made the big time.
In the �70s, two computers nearly became dominant: the Apple II and the Commodore 64. Both of these computers sold in the millions, inspiring a whole generation � they were used for everything from office tasks to games.
It was in 1980, however, that IBM launched its IBM PC, and things really went crazy. IBM�s PC wasn�t patented. IBM went to a small company named Microsoft to get an operating system for this computer, and ended up with DOS, but Microsoft was willing to license DOS to anyone else who paid their fee. By 1984, �IBM PC compatible� computers were available, and a de facto standard was born. Software makers could finally write their programs for one operating system and one hardware configuration � and anyone computer that didn�t follow the specification to the letter was quickly left with no programs to run.
In 1990, Microsoft released Windows 3.0 (the first version of Windows to be really successful), and the PC�s lock on the marketplace was set in stone. The release of the Pentium and Windows 95 made it finally the fastest, cheapest and easiest system around, and it quickly stopped making sense to develop software for anything else.
From then on, the PC was the dominant computer � today, it is estimated to have between 95% and 98% of the market, with almost all the rest being held by Apple Macintosh computers.

Miss Hokusai (Japan, 2015) [NYAFF 2016]
The history of art is dominated by men. For much of history, women were denied educational opportunities in the arts and some those who dared to create works found their careers were painted over in the grand narratives of art history (usually written by men). There were some female artists such as Berthe Morisot, Artemisia Gentileschi, Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun, and Angelica Kauffmann who defied social mores to create, inspire, and amaze during their professional careers but for many more female artists, their works and lives remain waiting to be discovered, not least in Japan, a part of the world which has had a profound effect on the development of art.
When you think of Japanese art, chances are that you are familiar with the celebrated ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai whose woodblock prints of subjects such as Mount Fuji have become representative images of Japan. His most famous is "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," that features a huge wave of blue surging water topped by white foam framing Mount Fuji. It is an image that can be found in galleries, on posters, and other types of merchandise and it is images like these that inspired some of the stylistic techniques of the French Impressionists. Would it surprise you to hear that Katsushika Hokusai had a daughter who was also an artist? That she created works in her own right? That some scholars suggest she was more than just her father's assistant but a close collaborator who played a major role in his art as he neared 90 and had palsy? Like many a female artist it seems that her contribution to art has been forgotten about by history, something which Keiichi Hara's anime Miss Hokusai seeks to redress.
The film starts in the summer of 1814 in Edo Period (1603 – 1868) Japan, and the action takes place in Edo (now known as Tokyo). The Shogun runs the country and the city is populated by samurai, merchants, nobles, artists, courtesans, and commoners. Amidst the hustle and bustle of this highly populated city lives the artist Hokusai Katsushika (Yutaka Matsushige). He is in his mid-fifties and has won clients from all over the nation thanks to artworks stretching from a pair of sparrows painted on a tiny rice grain to a giant-size Bodhidharma portrayed on a 180 square meter-wide sheet of paper. Hokusai Katsushika's skill is immense but he isn't alone in producing his pieces. He lives and works in a garbage-strewn house with his daughter O-Ei (Anne Watanabe). She may be a 23-year-old woman but she is a fierce presence. Indeed, she shares a lot of traits with her father. In many scenes you can see the two observe the world in the same way complete with similar physical movements. O-ei also shares the same emotions being short-tempered, sarcastic, and stubborn. This is a case of like father like daughter especially when she's at home working amongst her father's somewhat comical students who alternate between lazing around and discussing art and life in Edo. Much amusement will be found seeing O-ei eschew the behaviour expected of women and takes after her father with her sharp tongue and the physical rowdiness.
More crucially she is a highly skilled artist in her own right, fulfilling commissions for pictures of dragons to shunga (erotica) and she often helps her father with his own art and stands in for him when he lacks inspiration or time. He may not be sentimental but he knows how she thinks and helps her further her skills with advice and examples sagely told such as gently pointing his sexually inexperienced daughter towards a geisha so she can better draw erotica. Matsushige is a brilliant choice for voice actor as his gravelly voice is warm and sounds like it contains decades' worth of experience. O-ei, on top of helping out with art, helps make her father far more human especially in relation to his family as a subplot involving another daughter plays out. These moments of interaction add intriguing doses of psychology and show how they are inspired as artists.
They form a formidable team. As O-ei says, "With two brushes and four chopsticks, we'll get anywhere" and it is true as we witness the two working close, growing as artists and also growing as individuals over the course of a year. For the most part the film remains rooted in reality but there are flights of fancy introduced by people's mental perception of the works of works of art and this leads to surreal elements such as when a woman who owns one of O-ei's paintings of hell and is so affected by its power she sees terrifying visions of skeletons sweeping up bones, shadow monsters looming from lanterns and so forth. This is when Miss Hokusai leans more into anime tropes with fantastical elements but it fits in perfectly with how imaginative people view the world. A number of more down-to-earth works have been directly attributes to O-ei such as bijin-ga (paintings of beautiful women) and shunga and the film showcases her working on hanging scrolls, ukiyo-e, and book illustrations.
The artistic details of the setting ensure we enjoy the sights and sounds of Edo during the four seasons. The pace is leisurely as the film meanders through everyday situations told through neat little vignettes that display the dynamics of the father and daughter relationship as well as the vagaries of the publishing industry. It feels like reading chapters from the source manga written by Hanako Sugiura whose award-winning work is defined by her highly researched historical stories about Japan's Edo period. Her work translates well onto the screen with a focus on customs and manners shown in this film. The setting is resolutely normal with Hokusai's atelier being a prime location and O-ei wandering across the brides and through the streets encountering all sorts of people who inspire her.
Miss Hokusai is an apt title since audiences will see an obscure artist who exists in the shadow of her father and how she helped him. On-screen text confirms that little is known her life but there is enough to imagine how she fit in the world and so we see O-ei emerge on screen as a real person. In a nice match-cut at the end we go from Edo to Tokyo, we see the world she inhabited and relate to it. To further enforce the fact she is an artist in her own right we see her picture "Night Scene in the Yoshiwara" during the end credits. More could have been done to show off the few pieces of her art known to exist but audiences will understand how she came to be. She may be a woman but she won't be marginalised and thanks to the space of possibility and imagination opened up by historical novels and anime, she is brought back to life for a new generation to discover.
Miss Hokusai is showing as part of the New York Asian Film Festival on Sunday July 3 at the Walter Reade Theater at 3pm. Tickets can be purchased from the Film Society of Lincoln Center website.

T&V candidate survey
The Democratic primary for the City Council and mayoral races is on September 12. There is only one Republican candidate in the District 2 Council race and District 4 race, so there is no Republican primary for either. However, Town & Village reached out to all candidates in the two races, including the Republicans when asking these questions, which helped in this newspaper's endorsement process. Read on for the answers from all candidates who responded by T&V's 36-hour deadline on issues of transit woes, small businesses and the recent statue controversy. There was a 50 word limit per question although Town & Village let a few extra words slip in here and there in the interest of not gutting anyone's answers. Those who didn't respond were Erin Hussein, Jasmin Sanchez and Jimmy McMillan of District 2 and Maria Castro and Alec Hartman of District 4. Profiles of each candidate can be found on this website.
Ronnie Cho, Democrat, District 2
Who is responsible for subway hell? Cuomo or de Blasio, and how can the City Council help, especially in light of the looming L train shutdown?
The subway's summer of hell is the result of an aging infrastructure system that isn't seeing improvements because of the lack of political courage and vision in Albany and City Hall. The City Council should demand that the city's MTA capital fund be used to make necessary repairs and to take proactive measures. In light of the L train shutdown, close lanes on 14th Street to regular car traffic so that buses can run non-stop and create a bus lane across the Williamsburg Bridge. We should also explore increasing ferry service across the East River from Williamsburg to the East Village and possibly a gondola/tramway adjacent to the Williamsburg Bridge.
What is your plan to save the city's small businesses from chains and retail blight?
There's one real solution on the table: establishing a right to lease renewal through the Small Business Jobs Survival Act. City Council has the votes. Now it needs the political will to take action and push this bill through.
Second, I support a repeal of the commercial rent tax. Additionally, I would enact commercial rent stabilization for small locally owned businesses, especially for women and minority-owned businesses.
Lastly, I would support a special commercial zoning district to limit store sizes with the exception of grocery stores and downzone storefronts and ground floor space in new buildings.
What is your position on the monument/statue controversy? Should Stuyvesant Town and Stuyvesant Square be renamed? Should Columbus be removed from Columbus Circle?
I support the removal of Confederate flags and monuments of Confederate leaders. We need to review all statues and monuments in New York City that honor figures that do not reflect the open-mindedness and diversity of our great city.
Carlina Rivera, Democrat, District 2
The current transportation emergency is a result of too much talking and not enough action on all sides. The reality is that the MTA has deferred maintenance and under-delivered for decades. As we are poised to lose one of the few lines available to thousands of East Village residents, New Yorkers continue to invest in a public system that deserves a recommitment of funds from the state as well leadership willing to come together to discuss funding shortfalls and ultimately expanding service for underserved neighborhoods.
I fully support the Small Business Jobs Survival Act. This is an important, overdue piece of legislation and we have to revisit the language with a 21st century economy lens. I will also advocate for more outreach opportunities, info sessions and webinars to provide information about growing new businesses responsibly, as well as finding assistance to become a minority and/or woman-owned business vendor. I also plan to work on how to address taxes and other expenses passed onto our mom-and-pop operators.
Monuments can serve as a public reminder that we must learn from the past to improve on it and never repeat its mistakes. Statues memorialize people and sometimes those people are guilty of moral crimes we in the present find reprehensible. Should a mass of New Yorkers find a statue objectionable, we should at the very least start a dialogue on what is most appropriate.
Mary Silver, Democrat, District 2
I am not interested in a blame game, but in who can get the job done. Council members must make sure the city and the state work together to end a subway stalemate that makes New Yorkers late for school, work and their various obligations. With the L train shutdown looming, the need for a dependable and functioning subway system is a priority.
We can start by passing the Small Business Jobs Survival Act, which has been kicked around since 1988. Council members must stop delaying by questioning the act's legality: that issue was settled by a 2010 law commission. Provide commercial rent protections and the right to fair commercial lease renewal through arbitration. We have had far too much talk on this issue, and not enough action.
This statues controversy as it extends to Stuyvesant and Columbus differs from the issue of those confederate statues connected to figures who have taken up arms against our government in the name of slavery and oppression.
Jorge Vasquez, Democrat, District 2
It is Cuomo's, de Blasio's, and every other elected official's duty to do their part. Just think about how slowly the 2nd Avenue subway disaster has taken to get to where it is today, and it still remains behind schedule. It's time to stop using it being in Albany's control as an excuse, and take to lobbying and grassroots momentum to show just how badly we need these changes to happen.
From a city and council perspective, we need to be advocating for policies such as the Fair Fares Act.
First and foremost, let's get the Small Business Job Survival Act on the floor and put it to a vote. It is ridiculous that it has been stuck in committee since 1988.
Additionally, we need to change the tax incentive structure for developers. There should be no direct benefit to the owners of these buildings for leaving their units empty. I will continue to work with those who are leasing these storefronts by educating them on their rights currently, and when elected will continue to put out legislation that makes it more difficult for landlords to abuse our historical integrity.
These are all questions that should be answered through proper polling of our constituents. The meaning behind these places could have less to do with their names than their existence, and changing these names could alter the significance these places hold to people of the district. However, if the district wants to see these changes, I will support them 100 percent.
Vanessa Aronson, Democrat, District 4
Cuomo, De Blasio, and the MTA Board, as well as past elected officials, are all to blame for neglecting to properly maintain aging subway infrastructure.
The City Council can hold the MTA accountable and earmark the funding it provides to ensure that billions of dollars are no longer spent without oversight. The Council can also start making a comprehensive plan for 14th Street for when the L train shuts down. I envision a PeopleWay with a wide pedestrian promenade, ample space for bicycles and a free shuttle bus.
I will fight to remove any such tax breaks for landlords with vacancies lasting over one year. I would also explore possible tax deductions to those who take a risk on renting shorter-term leases to first-time small businesses and pop-ups.
Second, I advocate for following in the footsteps of San Francisco with the creation of Business Legacy Registry, and formula retail zoning restrictions to limit the number of chain stores.
Third, I agree with the full elimination of the Commercial Rent Tax. Finally, I fully support the Small Business Jobs Survival Act (SBJSA).
Regarding Stuyvesant Town and Stuyvesant Square, I believe that the residents there must decide for themselves what about Peter Stuyvesant is worth celebrating, and if that can be considered separate from his religious intolerance and other failings (slavery). Columbus is possibly the hardest call for me. My father was an Italian-American. I would listen to District 4 and the city in determining what we should do with the statue.
Rebecca Harary, Republican, Dist. 4
If Mayor de Blasio is reading this, Mr. Mayor, in light of all the wasteful spending you pushed for, shouldn't you take this opportunity to lead, and do what the voters are expecting you to do by carving out the money needed to repair our subways?
With regard to the L train shutdown, close off East 14th Street to car traffic during rush hours, and allow buses and bicycles to use it exclusively instead. Creating an M14 SBS will also help to relieve the burden.
When I get to City Hall, I will introduce legislation to repeal the Commercial Rent Tax incrementally over a three-year period. This will allow our elected officials to plan the city budget spending accordingly.
Additionally, I will work with my fellow City Councilwomen and men to bring the Small Business Jobs Survival Act back to life by flushing out some of its questionable measures, and creating a fully legal document that can be enacted in 2018.
Removing the Christopher Columbus statue is a slap in the face to all of our wonderful Italian Americans living here in NYC. Our mayor is acting more like a ruler than a mayor when he announces he will be appointing his own "task force." Instead, let the people decide. We should have public hearings.
Jeffrey Mailman, Democrat, District 4
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is governed by a board comprised of 17 members. The governor of NY, NYC mayor, and county executives from surrounding NYC counties nominate the members that go before the NYS Senate for confirmation. The NYC mayor gets four nominations but ultimately, the buck stops with the governor. It is incumbent upon the City Council to make sure the mayor nominates the most qualified, experienced and knowledgeable people to this board.
My plan is to incentivize tenants and landlords through real estate tax adjustments so that it cannot be financially beneficial to leave storefronts vacant. I would also explore a SCRIE-style program for small business commercial tenants.
Communities should not be renamed and statues should not come down. You cannot rewrite history — only learn from it! I believe controversial monuments should spark peaceful research and education, not violence and destruction. I support adding more monuments of agreed upon heroes.
Rachel Honig, Democrat, District 4
The ping pong game that the mayor and the governor are playing is neither effective nor appropriate. In the interest of getting fixes made, the city should absolutely absorb some of the cost. In exchange, control over city-specific MTA issues should be granted to allow for greater prioritization and community input. Saying it is the governor's problem is just going to leave more people stranded, frustrated, and frankly, unsafe.
I would continue to push for the raise of the floor of the commercial rent tax being spearheaded by Dan Garodnick. In addition, a version of the Small Business Jobs Survival Act must go to the floor to ensure lease protections. We need to create marketing programs for our small businesses and help them learn how to compete in a chain and e-tail economy. Lastly, we need to create a central office for our mom and pops to ease their burden.
I support bringing down Confederate monuments as there is no reason to glorify slave-owners. Similarly, I condemn Stuyvesant's religious intolerance and Columbus's barbarism.
I also understand that history is important and that people have become attached to the name of Stuyvesant Town. We have built a beautiful, multi-religious, multi-ethnic community on the land that Stuyvesant once owned. Columbus, on the other hand, has no real connection to NYC. In either case, I would welcome comments from my constituents.
Keith Powers, Democrat, District 4
The supervision of the MTA falls primarily under the governor. However, the city is the biggest user of the MTA and must be involved in decisions about long-term revenue sources to build the Second Avenue Subway, add Select Bus Service and eco-friendly options during the L train shutdown, and to upgrade signal systems to make trains move faster.
My father was a small business owner in Stuyvesant Town, so this is a personal issue for me. The city should reform the commercial rent tax, implement a "vacancy tax" to prevent warehousing, evaluate "big box" zoning limitations, and pass legislation to protect small businesses that are at risk of massive rent increases.
There are a number of neighborhoods – like Stuyvesant Town – that are no longer testimonials or directly connected to the person in question. They should keep their name.
Statues and monuments can be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Bessie Schachter, Democrat, Dist. 4
It matters less who is responsible and more what we're going to do about it. We have to invest in improving infrastructure and in keeping train fares affordable. The City Council can help by demanding more transparent planning and execution of repairs, for example, to repair the L train.
Moving forward, our city needs to fundamentally rethink the way that we approach public transport. The Tokyo Metro moves more people, more frequently, on time and at no cost to the taxpayer.
As a member of the City Council, I will pass a Commercial Rent Tax reform that will protect our local businesses by removing incentives for landlords to warehouse vacant retail spaces.
Additionally, by reclassifying stores that serve local residents into a lower tax bracket, we can help keep the doors open and the lights on.
If the residents of Stuyvesant Town or Stuyvesant Square want to change their name, that's one thing. Otherwise, this is a non-starter to me – that is simply what these communities are called.
To decide on a statue, you need a full accounting of history. You need to determine how deep an individual is connected to the history of New York, and if their life and their work deserves preservation in statue form.
Marti Speranza, Democrat, District 4
The subway crisis stems from decades of underinvestment at both the city and state levels. The Move NY plan or congestion pricing would provide funding for our transit infrastructure.
For displaced L train riders, we must expand aboveground transit options, including more Select Bus Service and dedicated bus lanes.
Passing Commercial Tax Reform to stop senseless squeezing small businesses.
Form a Legacy Business Preservation Fund, providing qualifying small businesses (including nonprofits) with annual financial assistance.
Build on the Small Business Jobs Survival Act, starting with businesses with under 50 employees and under $500,000 in annual revenue.
We need thoughtful public discussion around these questions. Rather than destroy or erase our complicated history, we should work to recontextualize and reinterpret it to tell a complete story and ensure future generations understand the historical context of the figures that helped create and define our city.
Barry Shapiro, Democrat, District 4
Subway problems have existed and continued to brew for so long, I'd more be inclined to lay responsibility at the feet of all NY politicians of the last 10-15 years. I hold the council members more accountable than anyone else because they are supposed to be the representatives of their districts.
So what council members can do is send up a howl. And demand the MTA, governor and mayor address these transit problems now and stop kicking the can down the road.
I think the Small Business Jobs Survival Act is a good place to start. Ten-year leases will provide stability.
I support raising the tax cutoff for businesses paying less than $500K in rent, and I'm not adverse to looking at the creation of a comprehensive Commercial Tenants' Bill of Rights which would include current harassment protections. Also not adverse to considering whether or not some form of commercial rent stabilization could be justified.
Christopher Columbus, Peter Stuyvesant, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson were all imperfect. But none of these has ever been thought of as enduring symbol of racism or resistance to national unity. Personally I don't support removing statues of Stuyvesant, Columbus and the like. However, I do feel that any level of governmental celebration of the Confederacy is inappropriate.

One thought on "T&V candidate survey"
J.G. Collins says:
I'm rather disappointed that these three generic questions, all of which, could be asked of any NYC Council candidate, were those asked of the candidates. There are several pressing issues that are important, specific, and unique to our community.
Among them:
1. What options do you prefer with respect to the coming shutdown of the L crosstown train.
2. The 30th Street Men's shelter has had a spate of violent crimes that have affected residents and businesses in Districts 2 and 4. Do you favor prohibiting paroled violent felony offenders from residence at the shelter?
3. The districts have two of the least amounts of active green space of any in the city. The DSNY wants to use the Brookdale Campus for a garage and two other buildings, foreclosing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give our community its fair share of active park space. Where do you stand on the garage and, if you favor it, what is your plan for active park space?


affordable private tomcat database affordable private tomcat database I have seen some websites that have a zillion products listed and to email them for orders. What a nightmare! Yes, the shopping carts will charge you a fee, but it is worth it for them to handle the transaction. There are many good shopping carts available and I would research them based on your business' needs. 9. Templates or Original Design- Chevrolet or Porsche People often think that to have a website designed is going to cost thousands.
affordable private tomcat database So they opt for the templates and throw together sites. There is nothing wrong with this approach except I can tell the difference between what I call a "canned" site and one that was created from scratch. While I don't think a website that uses templates will turn off a customer, I just think it may not be as appealing. Have fun with your online business. You can go to any number of photography sites and download professional photos from cows to race cars.
affordable private tomcat database This will make your site look more customized. Again, I recommend that you shop for a good web designer. I paid around $400 for a basic site to go up. I know others would have charged me $1000 or more. That's why you need to shop and see examples of their work.
affordable private tomcat database 10. Customer Service - The Finish Line! Okay so how is customer service a website design? Well, customer service should be written all over your site. From tips, to free reports, to guarantees, to fast and reliable shopping. People want to know you know what you are talking about and can deliver the goods they want. Give a little and I guarantee you'll get in back tenfold.


From October 22-23, 2016, the Women¡¯s Secretariat of the M¨¦tis Nation of Ontario (WSMNO) gathered in Toronto for a meeting. The main objectives of the meeting were to discuss the governance structure and strategic plan of the WSMNO.
The meeting was facilitated by Joan Riggs¡ªa founding partner of Catalyst Research and Communications. For 27 years, she has worked with the non-profit sector and all levels of government, to support their work in policy development, strategic planning, organizational development and in building partnerships and collaborations. She also has extensive experience working with Aboriginal organizations.
The first day of the meeting was spent discussing where the WSMNO fits into the structure and prime purpose of the MNO. WSMNO members explored their history, contextualized their work and brainstormed a vision for moving forward.
On day two, key opportunities were discussed, such as the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, as well as strategic directions for the first of their two-year strategic plan. The governance structure of Women¡¯s Secretariat was also examined in thorough detail.
The opening and closing prayer was provided by Elder Pearl Gabona, WSMNO Representative and a Commissioner on the M¨¦tis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Commission on M¨¦tis Rights and Self-Government.

Online and Campus Early Childhood Education Degree Programs
Earning an early childhood education degree will prepare you for a rewarding career teaching young children, ranging in age from birth to eight or nine years old, which is traditionally about third grade. Early childhood educators play a critical role in their students' lives; they strive to lay the foundation for a lifetime love of learning. They may also be expected to identify and instruct children with special needs, learning disabilities, or developmental delays. The ideal candidate for an early childhood education job will be service-oriented with good communication and active listening skills. The job requires dependability, integrity, and adaptability. Many schools offer an early childhood education degree online, which can allow a student to study on their own time and at their own pace, often while maintaining regular employment. You can learn more about how to become an early childhood educator in our career guide or continue reading below to find out more about early childhood education degree programs.
Early Childhood Education Degree Requirements and Coursework
Coursework for a bachelor's degree in early childhood education typically includes classes in language and literacy, child growth and development, equity and cultural diversity, curriculum design, and theories in instruction. Most early childhood education programs will also require a student teaching component. Early childhood teachers must have a passion for working with children. Self-motivation, creativity, patience, a love of teaching, and the ability to demonstrate cooperation are attributes that complement this career. Teachers at this level must be able to create a safe, educational, and caring environment where children are able to maximize their potential and achieve or surpass learning milestones.
Most early childhood education degree programs are found at the bachelor's level, though there are some associate's degrees available as well as master's degrees in early childhood education for those who already have a bachelor's degree in another subject. Early childhood education programs are typically formatted to give pre-service teachers a specialist education in working with pre-K to 3rd grade. This degree is a good fit for students who wish to teach at these grade levels and achieve state-level certification. Many programs offer coursework leading to specialist endorsements in such areas as reading, English as a second language, and special education.
Typical classes in an early education degree program may include courses like the following, ordered from least to most advanced.
Introduction to Early Childhood Education
Language Development in Early Childhood
Beginning Literacy
Assessment and Evaluation in Early Childhood Education
Language Arts and Reading for Early Childhood
Science for Young Children
Child Health and Safety
Student Teaching and Professional Practicum
Teacher Quote: "You should only choose education as your career if you are willing to put your whole self into it; don't do it if you are just halfway in. You will have a classroom full of children depending on you to teach and care for them. For some, you will be all they have. You must be willing to go the extra mile for them and you must love what you do in order to make that happen." -April Larremore, Texas Kindergarten Teacher
Early Childhood Education Degrees and Certification
Completing an early childhood education degree program will qualify you to seek positions in both public and private schools. Daycare centers, preschools, kindergartens, and elementary schools are the most common places of employment for those with a degree in early childhood education. Salary ranges widely, depending upon what kind of setting an educator works in. The median annual wage for preschool teachers is $28,570 per year, while childcare workers earn a median salary of $26,210.1,2 The median annual salary for kindergarten and elementary school teachers is $54,550.3 The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates job growth of 7% (preschool), 2% (daycare), and 3% (K-6) for these teacher groups through 2028.1-3
Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education
Some prospective preschool teachers pursue an associate's degree in early childhood education, which is the minimum education required for many jobs at this level. Daycare workers may also seek an associate degree in early childhood education to earn higher pay or be more competitive in the job market, even though no formal education is usually required for these types of jobs. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), over 150 public and non-profit four-year colleges across the US offer an associate degree in early childhood education. Associate degrees typically take two years of full-time study to complete and prepare graduates to teach and care for small children who are found at daycares and preschools.
Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education
Since it is typically required to work in public schools and for teacher certification, most early childhood education degrees are found at the bachelor's level. A bachelor's degree in early childhood education prepares an instructor to teach small children, including infants and small children up to the third grade. Teachers at this level help children develop social, personal, and academic skills to properly prepare them for higher levels of education. These educators must align their teaching to education standards which are constantly changing and improving while also acting as caregivers who care for small children in their parents' absence. Bachelor's degrees typically take four years of full-time study to complete and NCES reports that over 500 public and non-profit four-year colleges and universities offer bachelor's degrees in early childhood education.
Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education
Students graduating with a master's degree in early childhood education are prepared to work as senior teachers in elementary school settings. Many universities only offer early childhood education master's degree programs to students who are already certified to teach in elementary settings, so earning a bachelor's degree and state certification is the first step. Many online degree programs offer master's degrees in early childhood education in addition to traditional ones. Teachers who have earned a master's degree often have higher earning potential than those with only a bachelor's degree and can be more competitive candidates for administrative positions. NCES reports that about 120 public and non-profit four-year institutions offer a master's in early childhood education.
Early Childhood Education Degree Online
Prospective Pre-K to third-grade educators can also pursue an online bachelor's degree in early childhood education. An online early childhood education degree program can offer additional flexibility compared to on-campus study for individuals who prefer this option. Online education continues to improve with innovations like live-streaming virtual classrooms with video conferencing and the use of interactive social technologies that allow collaboration and discussion with classmates. An increasing number of online programs are also offered asynchronously, meaning that students do not have to "attend" virtual class at a certain time, but rather can learn and complete assignments completely on their own schedule, providing they meet deadlines set forth by the teacher. This method allows even more flexibility for working and otherwise busy students who prefer to learn on their own time.

http://www.auburn.edu/
Student Review: "The Teacher Education Program at Auburn University gave me a wonderful and very rewarding college experience. All of the classes leading up to being accepted in the program taught me so much about the teaching field and the classes taken after being accepted into the Early Childhood Education program gave me a plethora of classroom experience. I enjoyed being in a Cohort. This Cohort gave me the opportunity to go through my college experience with other students my age who had the same career goals as I did. Auburn University will not allow a student to graduate from the College of Education unless they have a certain number of hours in a public school classroom setting. I believe this is a great policy because I learned more from my student teaching than I did from my university classes. The supervisors were always helpful to me and my fellow students. Overall, Auburn University has made me very confident in my abilities to succeed as a classroom teacher. The only thing that could have been better was the communication between my adviser and myself. Sometimes there would be confusion and often the adviser would not clear the confusion." -Jessica W., Early Childhood Education student at Auburn University
