The fifth meeting of the ad hoc Open-ended Working Group on Review of Implementation (WGRI 5) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) opened at the headquarters of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal, Canada.
Participants discussed: the review of progress in implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and in providing support to parties in the context of the Strategic Plan and Aichi Biodiversity targets; resource mobilization, and the financial mechanism. In closing the meeting, Chair Hem Pande announced the establishment of an informal contact group on resource mobilization and the financial mechanism.
WGRI 5 Chair Pande (India), opened the meeting. Bureau President Prakash Javadekar (India), via video, emphasized the significance of the mid-term review of the Strategic Plan, and highlighted the importance of addressing poverty reduction as a major objective.
CBD Executive Secretary Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias announced that 26 parties have submitted NBSAPs, 78 parties have completed their 5th national reports and 30 countries have sent advanced drafts of their national reports. He emphasized the need to update resource mobilization and urged parties to ratify their commitments to the Nagoya Protocol.
OPENING STATEMENTS: Regarding the "Pyeongchang Roadmap 2020", THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA informed delegates the roadmap will comprise the key elements of the recommendations of the mid-term review of the Strategic Plan as well as the achievements regarding the Aichi targets. He highlighted the need to enhance technical and scientific cooperation through sharing expertise and experiences for full implementation of the Strategic Plan, and drew attention to the importance of mainstreaming biodiversity into the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
MEXICO announced his country's intention to host COP 13 in 2016. Bosnia and Herzegovina, for CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE (CEE), with many other countries, expressed gratitude to the donor countries for contributing to the participation of countries with economies in transition, with the CEE supporting simple and efficient recommendations for the mid-term review to ensure the implementation of the Strategic Plan and the achievement of the Aichi targets.
Thailand, for ASIA-PACIFIC, called for further support to enhance scientific and technical cooperation to achieve the Aichi targets. Grenada, for GRULAC, with many others, underscored that effective representation in meetings is the most fundamental element of the process and called for public financial flows to ameliorate resource mobilization.
Uganda for the AFRICAN GROUP, reiterated commitment to increase Nagoya Protocol ratifications and to submit updated and revised NBSAPs, underscoring the importance of partnership formation and capacity building.
Greece, for the EU, highlighted, inter alia: capacity building; the clearing-house mechanism (CHM); domestic resource mobilization; synergies with other Rio and biodiversity-related conventions; and the integration of biodiversity in the development agenda.
South Africa, for LIKE-MINDED MEGADIVERSE COUNTRIES (LMMCs), prioritized the provision of adequate resources and their effective mobilization as an integral part for the success of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020.
ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS: Delegates adopted the agenda (UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/1) and organization of work without amendment. They elected Eleni Rova Marama Tokaduadua (Fiji) as Rapporteur.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR BIODIVERSITY 2011-2020
The Secretariat introduced documents on review of progress in implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and review of progress in providing support to parties in the context of the Strategic Plan and Aichi targets (UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/2 and UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/3).
REVIEW OF PROGRESS IN: UPDATING AND IMPLEMENTING NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY STRATEGIES AND ACTION PLANS (NBSAPs); AND PROVIDING SUPPORT IN IMPLEMENTING THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CONVENTION AND ITS STRATEGIC PLAN FOR BIODIVERSITY 2011-2020: Many countries provided updates on the progress of the NBSAPs. CAMEROON highlighted the successful participatory approach to draw national attention to biodiversity and the value of sub-regional meetings to share experiences.
On scientific and technical cooperation, JAPAN proposed revisions, including: specification of the kind of issues that require cooperation by collecting opinions from parties before collecting information on good practices and provision of expertise; clarification on the word "tailored support"; and, with NORWAY and SOUTH AFRICA, a proposal that the match making scheme not duplicate the existing international and regional schemes such as Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research.
CANADA, reiterated the importance of the CHM, highlighting the need for further partnerships on marine and other protected areas. MEXICO called for the development of an interactive tool to assist countries to meet the 50 individual targets identified by the Secretariat.
BRAZIL discussed the establishment of national targets, some of which exceed global targets adopted by COP 10, including on the Amazon and other terrestrial biomes.
The EU called for, inter alia: clear, credible indicators to support implementation of the Strategic Plan and the Aichi targets; capacity building self-assessments; and a strategy to link all CHMs under the CBD to avoid duplication.
On the specific requirements of Aichi target 17, INDIA proposed inserting a timeframe, and COLOMBIA reported on three workshops, multi-sectoral dialogue within the country, and sectoral implementation of their NBSAP, urging prioritizing capacity building.
SOUTH AFRICA, supported by CUBA noted, inter alia: linking biodiversity to all relevant SDGs; synergies between the Convention and its Protocols to enhance cooperation, avoid duplication and efficiently use resources; and its concerns regarding duplication of work in existing platforms including SBSTTA and IPBES.
SUDAN underlined setting up its national strategy in line with the overarching objectives of the Convention. BELARUS stressed the positive impact of regional seminars to develop effective initiatives. NIGER underscored the importance of assessing ecosystem services to ensure increased investment.
ARGENTINA stressed the importance of capacity building and the CHM, and OMAN and ETHIOPIA requested that Table 2 on the current status of NBSAP revision be updated to reflect recent submissions.
SWITZERLAND noted the overall emphasis on implementation in the agenda, cautioning against recommendations being too specific.
ETHIOPIA underscored challenges in resource mobilization, and UGANDA shared successes from nominating 'target champions' to create ownership, while acknowledging support received for capacity and awareness building.
THAILAND offered additional recommendations to guide the mid-term review to help mobilize financial resources and make available more resources for the translation of material within the CHM.
TIMOR LESTE called for technical and financial assistance for implementation of the targets, and supported self-assessments on capacity and financial gaps. SAINT LUCIA acknowledged the importance of mainstreaming biodiversity at the national level.
SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS called for enhanced capacity building and additional resources for the achievement of the Aichi targets.
Chair Pande announced the Secretariat will produce a revised document on these two agenda items.
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION: The Secretariat presented the documents on resource mobilization (UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/4, UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/4/Add.1 and UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/4/Add.2).
Carlos Rodriguez, Chair of the Second High-Level Panel on Global Assessment of Resources for Implementing the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, Costa Rica, stressed that meeting the Aichi targets will, inter alia: deliver substantial benefits to peoples and economies across the world; support economic and business opportunities and job creation; provide insurance value; and contribute to climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience.
Francis Ogwal, Co-chair of the Informal Dialogue Seminar on Scaling up Finance for Biodiversity and National Focal Point, Uganda, reported on the Quito Dialogue Seminar and discussed, inter alia: mainstreaming biodiversity to assess biodiversity values; incentives and options for financing including PES and biodiversity offsets; access and benefit sharing (ABS); fiscal reforms and international levies; and synergies for biodiversity financing.
THAILAND requested the Secretariat to develop a work plan with emphasis on further workshops on incentive measures. SWITZERLAND noted that Aichi target 20 is the binding target on this issue. BRAZIL stated that it was premature to discuss biodiversity-related finance flows, making it inappropriate to adopt the preliminary targets suggested.
ECUADOR called for strengthening the activities within Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) in order to operationalize the targets, and highlighted that official development assistance (ODA) is insufficient to cater to the attainment of the Aichi targets. NORWAY reiterated its support for doubling international financing for biodiversity by 2015 "if the baseline is as defined in the same decision. "
The EU noted that in addition to the adoption of final resource mobilization targets, there is a need to confirm the average of biodiversity funding for the period 2006-2010 as the final baseline for the international target. MEXICO stressed the need for a diversified approach to resource mobilization. BELARUS called for greater consideration to be paid to Eastern European countries, referencing the new GEF priorities on funding. BOLIVIA underscored the inclusion of indigenous and local communities (ILCs) in decision-making on issues of biodiversity, including finance.
TOGO called for reassessing the applicability of available financial mechanisms. INDIA stressed inter alia : they do not support inclusion of domestic financial resources in the target decision, and would like the target to be in the context of the provisions of Article 20 (financial resources) of CBD; and BIOFIN seems to have an underlying normative content on how developing countries can develop their NBSAPs.
COLOMBIA called for setting up a strategy for mobilizing resources rather than isolated approaches and noted the need for additional biodiversity related funds from the GEF. CANADA expressed interest in the way that the Pyeongchang Roadmap will reflect the collected data, underscoring that ODA alone cannot provide sufficient resources.
PERU, supported by ARGENTINA, clarified the need to engage natural sciences and economics, suggesting it should be a new and innovative application.
ARGENTINA called for a working group on resource mobilization to help meet targets, urging support for developing countries to participate in the Pyeongchang Roadmap.
BURUNDI stressed the need to channel financial resources from various donors to support sector-specific goals. CUBA underscored the need for external financial resources to be "new, additional and predictable." ETHIOPIA opposed the inclusion of domestic resources in the recommendation. An NGO representative called for enhanced work on resource mobilization. ILCs underlined the need for the full participation of indigenous peoples in the resource mobilization strategy.
FINANCIAL MECHANISM: In the afternoon, the Secretariat introduced the documents (UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/5 and UNEP/CBD/WGRI/5/5/Add.1).
THAILAND, on the effectiveness of the GEF, suggested setting priorities for financial mechanisms to focus the support between 2015 and 2020. NORWAY, with SWITZERLAND, reiterated that the needs identified under the CBD could not be addressed adequately using the current available resources.
INDIA called for greater facilitation by the GEF on plant conservation and biosafety. EQUADOR suggested the GEF should be consistent with the sustainable development agenda, and collaborate with the Open Working Group on sustainable development.
SOUTH AFRICA expressed concern on securing adequate funding and proposed the GEF and CBD open a financial support window for the Cartagena Protocol.
WGRI 5 established a contact group on resource mobilization and financial mechanism, co-chaired by Jeremy Eppel, UK, and Francis Ogwal, Uganda.
On day one of WGRI 5, delegates braced themselves for the heavy agenda. Of the numerous issues to be discussed, some expressed confusion on the contents of the proposed "Pyeongchang Roadmap 2020," with one worrying that this may "diffuse the energy needed for a thorough mid-term review of the Strategic Plan and achievement of the Aichi targets." Delegates engaged in long discussions on the strategy for resource mobilization, dwelling on contentious issues. "Quantification of resources is essential in order to reach any practical agreement on recommendations and avoid vagueness" one delegate said, and it remains to be seen whether the establishment of a contact group to handle deliberations will provide any compromise.

For over 200 million years, ponds, marshes, grasslands, and rain forests have come alive with the calls of frogs. Yet these remarkable and colorful animals are declining at such a rapid rate that they are being called the Earth's next dinosaurs. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, a third of the world's amphibian species are threatened with extinction.
World-renowned Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson has written in the book, The Creation: An Appeal to Save Life on Earth:
Kermit the Frog, to summarize the situation in a phrase, is sick. And to varying degrees so is much of the living world. Might Homo sapiens follow? Maybe, maybe not. But with certainty we are the great meteorite of our time, having begun the sixth mass extinction of Phanerozoic history. We are creating a less stable and interesting place for our descendants to inherit.
Frogs are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, pollution, and disease. Because they breathe and drink through their skin, they are extremely sensitive to an unhealthy environment. Chemicals, pesticides, ozone, and UV are dangerous, even deadly, to them.
This New Jersey nonprofit organization is called FROGS ARE GREEN because we believe that healthy frogs mean a healthy planet. By saving the frogs, we will also save our planet—and ourselves.
Please hop in and get involved. We'd love to hear from you!
— Susan Newman Lerer, Founder
"I believed in your cause from the start and who couldn't? Our climate is in turmoil and during these turbulent times, I hope the outcome will be climate action. The Frogs Are Green program is a reminder and an opportunity to learn how the ecosystem works. And how artists can impact society by being visual heralds to educate everyone that the health of our planet is our route to survival. I so appreciate your enthusiasm, dedication, and intuitiveness to see the path to healing through nature. Thank you for including the students of Jersey City Public Schools in the process. I wish you happiness and health in the days ahead and always."

Video from JC1TV!
Thank you Stan Eason for this video of the "Frogs and Their Threatened Environment" exhibition, May 2015 in Jersey City's City Hall Rotunda.
The video below showcases Spring 2014's exhibition at The Distillery Gallery of international frog art by children aged 3-12, from more than 27 countries. The exhibition was well attended and a special thank you to Mayor Steven Fulop of Jersey City and JC1TV for helping broadcast this issue. Now that all the winners have been announced for 2014 contests, we have scheduled exhibitions around Earth Day and Save the Frogs Day 2015.
Frogs Are Green is on an awareness mission to educate the public about the threats to frogs and amphibians. Through blogging, interviews, social media and annual events we have reached a great many people but now it's time to go to the next level and bring a new curriculum to the schools.
Young children are naturally curious about nature and can express themselves through art in a way they cannot verbally, so this curriculum developed by Susan Newman, founder of Frogs Are Green, combines science and art together in a six-week course. (Click below to learn much more about this!)
Amphibian Art Curriculum – K-3
Frogs, Amphibians, and Their Threatened Environment
Discovery and Expression Through Art – K-3
Children in K-3 are introduced to frogs, amphibians and the world that surrounds them. By learning about the Earth's environment and wildlife and having an understanding of the eco-system, they can creatively express themselves through art and share with others how everyone can help the earth by being eco-friendly. Students will be introduced to amphibian
photographers and artists, both classical and current.
Firenze University Press Book Review: Frogs, Amphibians and Their Threatened Environment – Discovery and Expression Through Art – K-3
…In such a sense the book "built" (not only and not simply written) by Susan Newman is for me a real jewel. In many ways. This book is mainly destined to educators and provides a true roadmap to teach young readers and explorers the love for amphibians. Susan has coped her strong passion for frogs (she is the founder and the promoter of "Frogs Are Green", a non profit organization created in 2009 to bring awareness to what's happening on our planet, especially to the fact that frogs everywhere are disappearing: http://frogsaregreen.org/) with art. In such a way the aim of the organisation is to give kids the opportunity to learn about the environment, frogs and other amphibians, and to express themselves through art. In this way Susan's love for science has been put together with the great and somehow innate interest that children (in this case up to the 3rd grade) have for frogs and drawings…

Q: Insert a  tag with content in an empty  tag in jQuery The original HTML:

     4

     ..."firstNumber" div tag repeats here...
     ..."secondNumber" div tag repeats here too but might contain content...

I used following code to check if "secondNumber" div tag is empty.
If it is, then I want to add "0" wrapped with a span tag with the same "spanClass" name
inside the "secondNumber" div tag. But it's not working...

A: try this:
$('.secondNumber').each(function(i, el) {

   if($(this).find('.spanClass').length == 0) {

        $(this).html('0');

   }

});

Edit
$(function() {
    $('.secondNumber').each(function(i, el) {

       if($(this).find('.spanClass').length == 0) {

            $(this).html('0');

       }

    });
});

A: Why use wrapInner when you know the contents are empty? Why not:
$(".secondNumber").html('0');

EDIT:
Also, It looks like your problem really isn't the wrapInner (although I still think .html() is better), but rather your quoting getting in the way. Look at my example. I have single quotes on the outside. You have two sets of double quotes which will be in contention with each other if you don't escape the inner set of quotes.

A: There is a syntax error in your code, you should use single quote for the class attribute.
jQuery(function () {
    var $second = $('.secondNumber'); // caching the object
    if ( $.trim($second.text()).length == 0 ){
        $second.wrapInner("0"); // or $second.append("...")
                              //  -----^
    };
});

Anyone who ever scrolls through the occasional Business Insider article knows that disruptors — companies that enter a marketplace and change the way people do business — don't stay disruptors for very long. Take an organization like Uber. For years, Uber was the scrappy little underdog, a technology startup that used technology to upend the established taxi market. In the past few years, however, Uber has gone from the underdog to the dominant player, the company that other technology startups are looking to take down. Success breeds imitation, and imitation breeds improvement.
We don't want to put the cart before the horse, and often times with release dates that happens. You end up racing and you end up being forced to do something you're not happy with and the great thing about Deadpool is we spent a career trying to duck other movies. "How do we get off the release date of this or that?" I think in most cases, people are going to have to duck us. Fox is probably going to be able to drop that thing on a date and everyone else is going to scatter, because no one will want to come out the same weekend.
It wasn't that long ago that Deadpool was a movie dumped in an otherwise dead part of the year, but the huge box office returns and rabid fandom surrounding the film means that Deadpool 2 will no longer be the scrappy underdog but the Hollywood powerhouse when it's release. That means that Deadpool can have its pick of release dates — summer, fall, Christmas weekend — and, like the screenwriters note, other films would rather scatter than compete at the box office with the film on its opening weekend. As the Deadpool franchise continues to spit out sequels, it will be interesting to see how whether the franchise can adjust to remain fresh as other people steal liberally from their formula. You can only be the alpha dog for so long.

Shooting of TV shows, digital originals & films halted from 19 March to 31 March 2020
Decision about re-starting shootings shall be taken on 30 March 2020
16 Mar, 2020 - 08:28 AM IST | By Swati Rana
MUMBAI: Various stakeholders of the Indian entertainment industry have taken measures to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Different bodies of television, directors and producers have decided to stop shooting of films, TV serials and web series from 19 March 2020 till 31 March 2020.
The decision was taken in a joint meeting of Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association (IMPPA), Western India Film Producers' Association (WIFPA), Indian Film and Television Producers Council (IFTPC), Indian Film & Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) and Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) held on 15 March 2020.
"In view of the epidemic spread of Covid19 virus throughout the world, including India, an urgent meeting of IMPPA- WIPFA- IFTPC-IFTDA- FWICE held on 15 March 2020 unanimously decided to stop shootings of films, TV serials, web series and all other entertainment including digital formats from 19 March 2020 till 31 March 2020 as a result of health advisory, closure of all cinema halls, all sporting, educational institutes and entertainment events by the government of India which has declared a medical emergency over the Corona Virus. We appreciate and support all the steps taken by the government of India to control the virus," said IMPPA.
The association further says, "All units shooting till the stoppage comes into force have been strictly advised to follow all precautionary and preventive measures without fail. Decision about re-starting shootings shall be taken on 30 March 2020 after considering the prevailing situation."
TV broadcasters too are taking utmost measures to avoid gatherings on the sets.
A Zee spokesperson says, "In view of the growing concern regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, Zee TV is putting a temporary halt to on-sets for the safety of all the members of the media. Apart from on-sets, no bytes or special stories will also be allowed, unless prior committed and lined up for a particular day. This is being done as a precautionary measure and as soon as the situation improves, we shall resume onset access."
Abhinav Khare, CEO of Asianet News Group, said that every effort has been taken to ensure that the employees are safeguarded and their health protected.
"However, being media companies, we cannot adopt the work-from-home option. There are studios and equipment. Ours is a live medium. So whatever is happening and whenever is happening, reporters have to go to the spot and report," he said.

Santa Clarita Nonprofit Helps Veterans Find Resources
By Lydia Pantazes
PUBLISHED 4:10 PM PT Jul. 31, 2019 PUBLISHED 4:10 PM PDT Jul. 31, 2019
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - It's called the warriors wall and it lines the office of the Santa Clarita veterans services collaborative. It's made up of articles that local media put together about veterans who reside in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Jeff Stabile is just one of the dozens of veterans featured on the wall.
In 1963 he enlisted in the United States Air Force, married his high school sweetheart Peggy while he was in the military, and had two children that he raised in Santa Clarita. Now he spends a lot of his time here at the collaborative helping fellow veterans. He's the executive director.
"When you talk to another veteran, they enjoy talking to someone who has had the experience themselves, we can understand some of the issues and understand some of the terms that they are using and they feel comfortable coming in and talking with another veteran," said Stabile.
The veteran services collaborative is a non-profit completely run on donations that connects veterans with resources and people ready to guide them in the right direction to help them with their needs.
"The important thing is for veterans to realize they can come in here for any of their needs, we've got approximately 80 companies that have volunteered their services," said Stabile.
From filling out VA claims to educational help, job training, financial assistance, they even have a food pantry inside and medical supplies like an electronic wheelchair available for loan.
Navy veteran Michael Angulo came to the collaborative for the first time this year.
"I got laid off in the beginning of 2019 and was eager to get back into the workforce," said Angulo.
The collaborative helped him get a job, now he's a supervisor at his current company.
"They're going to help you by pointing you in the right direction, providing you with services," said Angulo.
Stabile says some veterans just want to come in and talk and that's OK too.
"We have a lot of senior veterans, Vietnam, Korean War that come in and just want to talk, and we sit and listen, sometimes it'll be for an hour, hour and a half," said Stabile.
Whether it's sharing their stories or receiving guidance, Stabile wants veterans to know there's a place for them.

A majority of Georgia voters said MLB struck out when it yanked its All-Star game out of metro Atlanta in protest of the state's new election law…
The poll, conducted by the University of Georgia, found roughly 54% of registered Georgia voters opposed the April decision to move the event to Denver after the passage of a Republican-backed overhaul that includes new restrictions on voting.
The CIA Is Training Ukrainian Paramilitaries to "Kill Russians" As the Globalists Push for War with Russia
On a similar note, it concluded that about 60% of Georgians opposed companies using their public role to shape political opinion or promote cultural change, including 86% of Republicans and 55% of independent voters. About 56% of Democrats support such corporate activism.
The poll's findings reflected the backlash against baseball's decision, which Republicans have criticized as "cancel culture." Republican U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy visited Georgia on Tuesday to blast Major League Baseball as he called for an end to the "movement in this country about wokeness."
It also served as a message to Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines, two Atlanta-based corporate giants that sharply criticized the voting changes after Gov. Brian Kemp signed them into law. Though a slim overall majority of Georgians had favorable impressions of both companies, Republicans were evenly split over Delta and 55% of GOP voters had a dim view of Coke.
"It should be like the queen — they should be neutral because they have employees who feel both ways," said Sheryl Hudson, an executive assistant from Forsyth County. "The top brass shouldn't decide how their employees feel."
Angela Meltzer, a semi-retired forensic accountant from Athens, is in the minority.
"Companies should be involved. They make money off the people in this state," she said. "They should be conscious of what public policy is trying to do."
The AJC poll involved 844 registered voters and was conducted April 20-May 3 by UGA's School of Public and International Affairs. The margin of error is 3.4 percentage points.
A sharp split
The survey offered a reminder that few issues in Georgia are as polarizing as the ongoing clash over voting rights, which dominated the race for governor in 2018 and the 2020 election as then-President Donald Trump falsely claimed widespread fraud in Georgia led to his narrow defeat.
Georgians are evenly divided on the state's election rewrite, which includes new ID requirements for absentee ballots, a tighter window for when mail-in ballots can be accepted and limits on accessibility to ballot drop boxes that gained popularity during the coronavirus pandemic.
The rewrite was motivated in part by Trump's claims about last year's election results, when Joe Biden became the first Democratic presidential contender to win Georgia since 1992. Election officials have said repeatedly there's no evidence of widespread fraud in those contests, and three separate tallies upheld Biden's win.

I have decided to take a nice leisurely walk around my neighborhood, and by the way, it is going to be 60 miles long. No, I haven't gone insane. I have decided to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Net proceeds from the 3-Day for the Cure are invested in community-based breast health programs and breast cancer research. The research focuses on decreasing breast cancer incidence and mortality in the next decade. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® works hard to build a future without breast cancer.
I'm personally raising $2,300 to help bring us closer to the goal of a future without breast cancer. I'm walking on Oct 14-16 in Philadelphia so I have 6 months to train and fundraise. I'm both nervous and excited about all of this. Here is a link to my personal fundraising page. Any amount will help me get closer to my goal, so please give!
I also want to come up with some crafty fundraising ideas. What great ideas do you all have?
I'm walking for my Aunt Cindy, who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She is very special to me because she taught me how to sew when I was 12 years old and this has been a big part of my life ever since. In a previous post, I wrote about sewing head scarves for her around the holidays. Read about that here: Head Scarves and Race for the Cure My parents have also participated in fundraising for breast cancer research in the South Florida Race for the Cure in Cindy's name. Read more about that here: South Florida Race for the Cure Update.
Instead of feeling helpless while Cindy is going through treatment, I want to be able to do something. I feel like this walk is an incredible way for me to be able to help her and many other women affected by this disease. One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. That's why I'm walking in the 3-Day. Because everyone deserves a lifetime.
That is really fantastic. I think I will look into participating as well. My very dear and favorite aunt passed away four years ago from breast cancer.

IPL 2021: MS Dhoni says 'lot of uncertainties' around his future at CSK
IPL 2021: MS Dhoni says 'lot of uncertainties' around his future at CSK
MS Dhoni said the additions of two new IPL teams later this month will decide his stay at three-time champions CSK.
By: Sports Desk
Updated: October 7, 2021 15:55 IST
MS Dhoni in action during Chennai Super Kings' clash against Rajasthan Royals. (IPL)
MS Dhoni, the captain of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), shed light on his future at the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise on Thursday before his team's clash against Punjab Kings on Thursday, saying that "there are a lot of uncertainties".
The former India captain said the additions of two new teams later this month will decide his stay at three-time champions CSK.
"Well, you can see me in yellow, but whether I'll be playing for CSK there are a lot of uncertainties around it for a simple reason that we have two new teams coming up. We don't know the retention policy. We don't know how many foreigners, Indian players we can retain, the money cap that every player will be cutting from the kitty," Dhoni said.
"Unless the rules are in place you can't really decide that. So we will wait for it to happen and hopefully, it will be good for everyone."
Earlier on Tuesday, the 40-year-old, in an event celebrating 75 years of India Cements, said that he hopes to play his last match in Chennai.
"When it comes to farewell, you can still come and see me play for CSK and that can be my farewell game. So, you will still get that opportunity to bid me farewell. Hopefully, we will come to Chennai and play my last game over there and we can meet the fans there," Dhoni said while interacting with fans during the event.
Dhoni, who hung up his boots from international cricket last year, has not played in the capital city of Tamil Nadu since IPL 2019.
CSK, who have already qualified for the IPL 2021 play-offs, are currently sitting on the second spot with 18 points from 13 matches.

Guiding Light System Makes Brings Gaming Navigation To Life (video)
11:28 am February 28, 2012 By Julian Horsey
MIT Media Lab Research Assistant Jaewoo Chung has brought the navigation system from the game Dead Space to life. Recreating the in-game navigation system using projected arrows and magnetic positioning.
The new system called Guiding Light combines a smartphone with a mini-projector and magnetic positioning, and projects arrows on the floor in a similar in fashion to the video game, guiding users to their destination. Watch the video after the jump to see the Guiding Light system in action.
The Guiding Light system is still in the very early stages of development, but as a proof of concept the system works very well. MIT Media Lab Research Assistant Jaewoo Chung explains:
"I wanted to create an augmented reality system that provides guidance without getting your eyes distracted by small screens such as mobile phone screens," – "I was inspired by the typical use of a flashlight–we hold it in our hands to reveal objects that we illuminate."
Even though the system is in the early stages of development the applications for such a system are huge. Just imagine the system guiding people around buildings, museums or even large shops and malls.

Cat-Stro-Bot has been with the CatStronauts through it all. But now he's stranded on Jupiter's coldest moon after a mission gone wrong–and his best friend/creator Blanket isn't about to leave him behind. When CATSUP refuses Blanket's rescue mission request, he creates robo-stand-ins for the team so they can sneak off into space. Soon, the rest of the CatStronauts, Major Meowser, Pom Pom and Waffles, are off on their longest journey ever with experimental new technology. The robot rescue is afoot! In this full-color graphic novel, author/illustrator Drew Brockington takes the CatStronauts to new heights, adding in mounds of robot glitches, wonky cover-ups, and fish jokes by the ton!

The Borrago Story
The Borrago Bees
Our Founder, Tom Tuke-Hastings, started off in food - writing cookery books, running a food .com and doing the occasional bit of food TV presenting. He has always loved entertaining and celebrations and even wrote a whole book on 'The Art of the Vodka Jelly'.
Now, life is a little bit different: He has grown up a bit (not too much) has two small children and lives in the countryside. So with an ongoing love of entertaining and celebrating, but not wanting to drink and drive and hating hangovers with small kids waking you up, alcohol just plays a much smaller part in this.
But Tom refused to be side-lined to the traditional non-alcoholic options that are often overly sweet, childish and downmarket. He felt that you should be able to have a drink that is as good as or better than an alcoholic one. Something truly delicious with all the theatre of a traditional cocktail, but with none of the alcohol at all.
So starting in his shed, he set out to make naturally delicious, grown-up drinks without the alcohol, sugar or calories. The aim, to give a real and delicious choice. Borrago was born.
We are now in Michelin starred restaurants, bars, hotels and spas, as well as iconic stores, farm shops and independent wine merchants.
We export to countries all over the world, have built the world's first boat bar and have a rather fun bike side-bar to take our drinks on the road. We have popped up on the London underground and are present in gardens all over the country having given away over 400,000 borage seeds in our campaign to help save the bees. We have our own hive and use the honey to develop cocktails. We are just starting out, but we are having a lot of fun and hope to see you again as our story progresses.

Josef Körschgen (* 11. Februar 1876 in Düsseldorf; † 7. Februar 1937 ebenda) war ein deutscher Bildhauer.

Leben

Josef Körschgen, geboren zu Pempelfort, war Sohn des gleichnamigen Kastellans der Düsseldorfer Kunstakademie. Er studierte an der Düsseldorfer Kunstgewerbeschule und an der Kunstakademie bei Karl Janssen.

Im Bereich der Kleinplastiken aus Bronze schuf Körschgen insbesondere Tierskulpturen von Jagdhunden. Für seinen Persischen Windhund erhielt Körschgen 1904 in der Gruppe der Bildhauerkunst auf der Weltausstellung in St. Louis eine Bronzemedaille.

In der "Bildhauergruppe 1900" (vormals "Verein akademischer Bildhauer"), hatte Josef Körschgen von 1907 bis 1909 den Vorsitz. Vereinsmitglieder waren zu dieser Zeit unter anderen Gregor von Bochmann jr., Johannes Knubel, Heinz Müller und Albert Pehle. Auch war Körschgen Mitglied des Künstlervereins Malkasten.

Wie auch Gregor von Bochmann d. J. bezog Körschgen um 1907 eines der Ateliers im Künstlerhaus des Bildhauers August Bauer (1868–1961) an der Grafenberger Allee 32/34. August Bauer, Mitglied im Malkasten und im Verein zur Förderung der Bildhauerkunst in Nordrhein-Westfalen, hatte zusammen mit dem Berliner Bildhauer Johannes Röttger (1864–1943) das Bismarck-Denkmal in Düsseldorf erschaffen.

Zwischen 1909 und 1911 führte Josef Körschgen den reichen Bauschmuck am Gebäude der Bezirksregierung aus. Dazu etablierte Körschgen zwei Ateliers, an der Emmericher Straße 5, neben dem Baubüro für den Neubau der Königlichen Regierung, und in der Duisburger Straße 2. Zwischen 1911 und 1920 wohnte Körschgen auf der Kapellstraße 42.

Auf der Großen Kunstausstellung von 1911 im Kunstpalast wurde ein Grabmal mit dem Titel "Auferweckung" gezeigt. Auf der Großen Kunstausstellung von 1922 war Körschgen mit Hans Kohlschein, Fritz Burmann und Otto Engler Mitglied im vertretenden Vorstand unter dem Vorsitz vom Maler Carl Murdfield.

1926 bis 1927 fertigte Körschgen vier überlebensgroße Plastiken mit allegorische Darstellungen der vier Tugenden des Polizeibeamten: Überlegung, Gerechtigkeit, Mut und Kraft für den damaligen Neubau der Polizeidirektion der Stadt Hamm.

Anfang der 1920er Jahre war Körschgen ins Zooviertel auf die Grunerstraße 3 gezogen, wo er bis zuletzt wohnhaft war.

Print out a sweater with Kniterate, a 3D printer for knitting
Cold day? Just print out a sweater!
By Chaim Gartenberg / @cgartenberg
Apr 3, 2017, 5:19 PM UTC |
3D printing is great if you need to create something made of plastic or even metal or ceramic out of thin air. But what if you want something fuzzier and warmer? Something, like say, a hand-knit scarf or sweater?
Enter Kniterate, a "digital knitting machine," that makes it easy to take digital designs and automatically knit them into wearable fabrics at the push of a button. Simpler designs like scarves and ties can be knitted wholly by the Kniterate, while more complex pieces like dresses or sweaters will require a bit of assembly after the machine has done its work. The company is also developing an app to make it easy to design new patterns, add images and text, and customize the type of stitches used.
According to the Kickstarter page, Kniterate hopes to bridge the gap between traditional home knitting machines (apparently a thing that's been around since the '80s — who knew?), which are cheaper but complicated and tricky to use, and more expensive industrial machines. That said, a single Kniterate costs $4,699 on Kickstarter, with only 125 units being offering through crowdfunding. And if you miss that, you'll be stuck paying $7,499 at retail, which certainly stretches the price point for "consumer" a bit.
Obviously, given the price and the fact that Kniterate is an extremely complex piece of hardware and software from a first time company, it's worth doing your own research before putting up the cash. The first Kniterate units are expected to ship in April 2018.

Q: Query issue for a forum done in ReactJS MySQL Node.js and Express I am a junior developer and right now I'm building a simple forum using ReactJS, Node.js, Express and MySQL.
In the forum each Topic must have many many Posts.
I do not know if the problem comes from the back-end query or if it comes from the client side but the posts aren't well separated per topic.
Right now I have all the posts from the posts table in topic 1 and again in topic 2.

Server side queries
Thank you for any help.
Have a very nice day,
Ana

A: Your query seems ok, which will return all records by inner join with topics table.
One more suggestion, use the below code to get the proper HTTP response code.
return res.status(200).send(result);
Also, use try...catch to handle exceptions as well.

Q: Openlayers 4: How to create clusters based on Feature-Attributes with different icon for each cluster? My situation: I have multiple different Icon Features on my map, for example two icons from Type A, six from type B and three from C in a certain extent of the map. These icons represent types of game units (persons, vehicles etc).
When I now do the clustering as described in the example, I see how many features I have and can filter them by type. However, as it is obviously still the same cluster I can only display either icon A or Icon B and not both.
Is there a way to build a cluster based on each icon type? Is this possible directly in OpenLayers? If not, can I extend that cluster to create them based on some specific attributes?
let clusterLayer = new VectorLayer({
    name: "clusterlayer",
    zIndex: 230,
    source: clusterSource,
    style: function (feature) {

        let size = feature.get('features').length;
        let featureArray = feature.get('features');

        let countA  = asSequence(featureArray).count(it => it.get("type") === "A");
        if (countA > 2) {

            let style = styleCache[size];
            if (!style) {
                style = //Icon StyleA
                styleCache[size] = style;
            }
            return style;
        }

        let countB = asSequence(featureArray).count(it => it.get("type") === "B");
        if (countB > 1) {
            let style = styleCache[size];
            if (!style) {
                style = //Icon StyleB
                styleCache[size] = style;
            }
            return style;
        }

    }
});

A: I could solve this, by creating a new layer for each Cluster with a specific style.
So I created a new Cluster and Layer for A and a new Cluster and Layer for B.


Elyse Barbell was Executive Director of the Literacy Assistance Center for ten years. The LAC provides training to staff members at more than 500 agencies serving more than 100,000 youths and adults. These included classroom instructors, volunteers, and other staff members from agencies that offer adult basic education, English as a Second Language, GED preparation, workforce development, family literacy, and after school programs.
The innovative LAC health literacy study circles for adult educators, developed in collaboration with the Harvard School of Public Health, have won national recognition. As part of the same initiative, the LAC has begun providing health literacy services to dozens of nonprofit health institutions and agencies outside the adult literacy community but serving similar constituencies. These have included more than 850 employees of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, as well as staff members at Affinity Health Plan, Montefiore Medical Center, New York Presbyterian Medical Center, and United Way of New York City.
Ms. Barbell has facilitated dozens of workshops at the LAC and other organizations and conferences and was a repeat presenter at the 2007 American College of Physicians conference, among others. She was honored to be included as part of the United States delegation to UNESCO's Adult Education Confintea VI in Belem, Brazil last year. She holds a B.A. from Hofstra University and a Certificate in the Non Profit Executive Leadership Development Program of the Columbia University School of Not For Profit Management. She has now moved on and is doing nonprofit executive search and development at Stephen-Bradford Search.
