Time for another post in my A Kid's Life series. This series is a great way to learn about other countries and cultures by looking at families and their daily routines and traditions. I love hearing about what people from a different country eat, how they spend their free time, what sort of activities the kids do and about the local school systems.
Today we are visiting with Hana from New Zealand. Hana is a self proclaimed eternal optimist and dreamer. She has the blog A Happy Adventure where she writes about parenting and making her daughters lives as magical as possible. I absolutely adore her Little World series! I've never met Hana but I just know she's one of those cheerful, positive,creative and witty people that we could all benefit from spending time with.
I've always been interested in New Zealand and I loved reading about Hana and her family's daily life there. She talks about Christmas in such a different way than I'm used to (camping and beach!) and now I'm curious about what pikelets and kumara are!
Are you and your husband the same nationality?
Yep – we are both kiwis – in fact we both grew up in the same part of NZ, meeting at High School.
Do you both work? Or does someone stay at home?
My husband, Barry, works outside the home, and I stay at home with our girls.
How many languages are spoken in your house? What one(s)?
We have three girls – Ava will be five next week, Lola is three and Belle is 21 months.
At what age do kids start school in your country?
Children in New Zealand generally start school on their 5th birthday. Although, oddly, it isn't a legal requirement to be at school until they are 6.
During the school year what time do your kids usually wake up?
What do your kids typically eat for breakfast?
The girls all have different breakfast tastes – so I try to rotate it a little to please everybody. We often do fruit smoothies in the warmer months and hot chocolate in the cooler, and then cereal or porridge, scrambled or fried eggs, French toast, toast and jam – it also depends on how much time I have to prepare breakfast. On the weekends we have a sit down breakfast and Barry makes pikelets or pancakes with the girls.
What time does school start? What time does it finish? What is the weekly school schedule?
School starts at 9am and finishes at 3pm, Monday through Friday.
Do your kids learn a second/third language at school? From what age?
Maori (NZ's indigenous population) is included in the curriculum from early childhood (pre-school) onwards. Most high schools offer a wide range of languages and most require that children choose at least one second language to study. Languages offer include pacific languages like Maori or Samoan, European languages such as French and German, and Asian languages such as Japanese or Mandarin.
Do your kids eat lunch at school or home? What is a typical lunch for your kids?
Ava eats lunch at school, and takes a packed lunch from home. She officially starts school in a couple of weeks, but she has had a few visits, and I'm slowly learning the various intricacies of mealtimes at school. She's been going to kindy since she turned three, and I thought I'd become well versed at lunchbox packing – but school is a little different!
At around 10am each day the children take a break from learning for 'Brain Food', in which I have to pack a small container filled with fresh fruit and vegetables for her to munch on. Then she has morning tea and lunch – I normally pack a sandwich, a piece of fruit and some carrots, tomatoes or celery, some home baking such as muffins, biscuits or scones, and then some yoghurt or a few slices of cheese and crackers.
Do your kids do any after-school activities?
At the moment they don't do anything after school – I think that Ava's first term at big girl school will probably be quite exhausting as she gets used to all that time in the classroom, but she's expressed an interest in taking ballet classes and I'm quite keen for her to try out Pippins (the babies of the Girl Guide family!) so we will probably look into that for the next school year.
I guess like many parents in countries all over the world, it is finding that nice balance between an activity or two to pursue an interest or learn a new skill, and allowing enough unstructured time to let them play and just 'be'.
What time do you eat dinner? What's a typical dinner you would eat?
In an ideal world we would eat dinner at 5.30, giving us enough time to have a bit of a play before bed… In the real world however, I usually get dinner on the table between 6 and 6.30.
We have a few meals that we have every week – sausages, grilled potatoes and salad… burritos, homemade pizza, and prawn wraps are meals that we enjoy on a regular basis… the rest of the time I experiment with different things, depending on what is seasonal and what I think the children will eat without to much protesting!
How much television/computer time do your kids have on a daily basis?
The girls rarely have computer time – I guess that will change as they get older. In terms of telly time, I generally let them watch a show when they get home and I am fixing snacks – so about half an hour a day. On the weekends we sometimes watch sports or a movie together too.
Somewhere between 7 and 8pm.
What are some typical family week-end activities?
Every Sunday morning we visit our local farmers market – it is one of the highlights of our week.
Having just come out of the winter, we have spent a lot of time indoors – visiting with family and friends, and working on creative projects – the girls love crafting and we spend a lot of time working side by side.
However we are definitely looking forward to much more time outdoors as our weather warms – Auckland really comes alive in the summer months and there is always something fun happening around the city – festivals and events… and if there is a quiet weekend, we can head to the beach, work in the garden or take the girls for a bike ride at the park.
When do your kids have vacation from school?
The school year begins at the end of January and is divided into four terms of around 10 weeks each. Between each term is a two-week holiday, and then at the end of the school year in December, there is a six-week break before a new school year begins at the end of January.
What do your kids do during the summer vacation?
Because we celebrate our Christmas and summer holidays at the same time it is generally pretty action packed – the first two weeks are filled with Christmas preparations and festivities. Between Christmas and New Year's, and into the first week of January we generally go camping with family and friends which is always super-fun!
January is spent largely outside – in the garden, at the beach, at the park… I think even though most people are back at work by mid-January, the holiday vibe just continues so we spend a lot of time catching up with friends, having barbecues and picnics and just enjoying the warm weather.
What are the typical "first foods" for a baby to eat in your country?
Rice cereal, apple or pear puree, mashed kumara or mashed pumpkin.
Many thanks to Hana for taking the time to answer my questions. I really loved reading about their life!
Here are the previous interviews in A Kid's Life: Italy, Japan, America, The Philippines, Tasmania, Canada and Belgium.
Love the way the school year is set up. Makes a lot of sense. And what are prawn wraps?
Jill, thanks so much for letting me share a little about our lives here in NZ! I always enjoy reading the new interviews in your 'A Kid's Life' series – and so it was a lovely to be able to be participate!
Grammao, sorry 'prawn wraps' are probably just a my family thing as opposed to a great NZ tradition – before my husband and I were even married we used to have 'prawn wrap tuesdays' – prawns, tortilla wraps, tomatoes, sprouts and sour cream – really yummy and luckily one of the pre-kid meals that the kids actually approve of!!
Thanks for the nice words. So we both have sets of twin girls! It is fabulous, no? Mine are 10 and the best of friends. So wonderful to see their relationship evolve through the years. Thanks for the visit!
And, I just read that in your About page. : ) Yes, it is fabulous. I feel so lucky every day to get this experience of raising twins. And girls! So lovely to meet you. I just read all of the Kids Life series. I can't wait to check out everything else!
New Zealand is on the top of my list of places to visit. Loved reading this and so excited to follow Hana's blog now.

Westminster Kennel Club History
The Colorful History Of America's Dog Show
In 1877, New York was well on its way to becoming the world's greatest city. This was the year that a group of sporting gentlemen decided that this would be a good time to hold a dog show in Manhattan. It didn't take long before the Westminster Kennel Club, following the lead of its home town, would be on its way to becoming the world's greatest dog show.
With its spectacular beginnings and extraordinary growth in the years to follow, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was quickly reflecting the growth and success of New York City. As the dog show grew every year, so did the Westminster Kennel Club's position as the symbol of the purebred dog, with its influence being felt in show rings everywhere, and eventually in millions of television homes across the country.
Westminster has become America's Dog Show.
"Westminster gets its name from a long gone hotel in Manhattan. There, sporting gentlemen used to meet in the bar to drink and lie about their shooting accomplishments. Eventually they formed a club and bought a training area and kennel. They kept their dogs there and hired a trainer.
"They couldn't agree on the name for their new club. But finally someone suggested that they name it after their favorite bar. The idea was unanimously selected, we imagine, with the hoisting of a dozen drinking arms."
— Maxwell Riddle, from a newspaper story quoted in
"The Dog Show, 125 Years of Westminster" by William Stifel
It was at one of those meetings that the members decided that they would stage a dog show so that they could compare their dogs in a setting away from the field. The First Annual New York Bench Show of Dogs, given under the auspices of the Westminster Kennel Club, was staged in 1877 at Gilmore's Garden (the forerunner of Madison Square Garden) in New York City, drawing an entry of 1,201 dogs.
The show was such a hit that it was extended to four days from its originally-scheduled three, and drew this coverage from "Forest and Stream" magazine:
"To say that the dog show held in the city last week was a success would but poorly convey an idea of what the result really was. It was a magnificent triumph for the dogs and for the projectors of the show. We question if on any previous occasion has there ever assembled in this city such a number of people at one time, and representing as much of the culture, wealth and fashion of the town."
To fully grasp the place in history of the Westminster Kennel Club and its famed annual dog show at Madison Square Garden, consider this:
Westminster pre-dates the invention of the light bulb, the automobile, and the zipper; the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Washington Monument; and manned air flight and the establishment of the World Series. Since Westminster held its first show 127 years ago, there have been 24 men elected president and 12 states have joined the union.
The dog show has outlasted three previous versions of Madison Square Garden, and is currently being staged in MSG IV. It is one of only four events to be held in all four "Gardens."
The dog show has survived power outages, snowstorms, a national depression, two World Wars and a tugboat strike that threatened to shut down the city, in the process becoming the second longest continuously held sporting event in the country. Only the Kentucky Derby has been staged longer – but by just one year.
Westminster even pre-dates the establishment of the governing body of the sport, the American Kennel Club, by seven years. In fact, in 1877, members of Westminster and members of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia had together adopted a set of show rules and regulations and established a Board of Appeals to oversee these rules. This was the precursor of the American Kennel Club, which was finally created in 1884.
As one might imagine, the history of the club and its show is rich and colorful.
In the early Westminster years, some interesting names showed up in the catalogs. In the first show, there were two Staghounds listed as being from the late General George Custer's pack, and two Deerhounds that had been bred by the Queen of England. In 1889, the Czar of Russia is listed as the breeder of a Siberian Wolfhound entered, and the following year, one of the entries is a Russian Wolfhound whose listed owner was the Emperor of Germany.
Philanthropist J. P. Morgan made the first of his many appearances at Westminster with his Collies in 1893. Famous American journalist Nelly Bly entered her Maltese at Westminster in 1894, some four years after she made a record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes, racing the record of Phineas Fogg in Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days.
The most-coveted award in the dog show world, Best In Show at Westminster, was given for the first time in 1907. That year, and for the next two years as well, it went to a Smooth Fox Terrier bitch named Ch. Warren Remedy. She remains the only dog ever to win three times.
Six other dogs have won Best In Show twice, the most recent being the English Springer Spaniel, Ch. Chinoe's Adamant James in 1971 and 1972.

NasdaqGS:CTXS
How Does Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) Stand Up To These Simple Dividend Safety Checks?
Is Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS) a good dividend stock? How can we tell? Dividend paying companies with growing earnings can be highly rewarding in the long term. If you are hoping to live on the income from dividends, it's important to be a lot more stringent with your investments than the average punter.
With only a two-year payment history, and a 1.2% yield, investors probably think Citrix Systems is not much of a dividend stock. A low dividend might not be a bad thing, if the company is reinvesting heavily and growing its sales and profits. The company also bought back stock equivalent to around 9.9% of market capitalisation this year. Some simple research can reduce the risk of buying Citrix Systems for its dividend - read on to learn more.
Click the interactive chart for our full dividend analysis
NasdaqGS:CTXS Historic Dividend November 4th 2020
Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. So we need to form a view on if a company's dividend is sustainable, relative to its net profit after tax. In the last year, Citrix Systems paid out 29% of its profit as dividends. This is a middling range that strikes a nice balance between paying dividends to shareholders, and retaining enough earnings to invest in future growth. Besides, if reinvestment opportunities dry up, the company has room to increase the dividend.
We also measure dividends paid against a company's levered free cash flow, to see if enough cash was generated to cover the dividend. Citrix Systems paid out 18% of its free cash flow as dividends last year, which is conservative and suggests the dividend is sustainable. It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously.
We update our data on Citrix Systems every 24 hours, so you can always get our latest analysis of its financial health, here.
One of the major risks of relying on dividend income, is the potential for a company to struggle financially and cut its dividend. Not only is your income cut, but the value of your investment declines as well - nasty. The company has been paying a stable dividend for a few years now, but we'd like to see more evidence of consistency over a longer period. Its most recent annual dividend was US$1.4 per share, effectively flat on its first payment two years ago.
It's good to see at least some dividend growth. Yet with a relatively short dividend paying history, we wouldn't want to depend on this dividend too heavily.
Dividend payments have been consistent over the past few years, but we should always check if earnings per share (EPS) are growing, as this will help maintain the purchasing power of the dividend. Strong earnings per share (EPS) growth might encourage our interest in the company despite fluctuating dividends, which is why it's great to see Citrix Systems has grown its earnings per share at 26% per annum over the past five years. Earnings per share have rocketed in recent times, and we like that the company is retaining more than half of its earnings to reinvest. However, always remember that very few companies can grow at double digit rates forever.
To summarise, shareholders should always check that Citrix Systems' dividends are affordable, that its dividend payments are relatively stable, and that it has decent prospects for growing its earnings and dividend. Firstly, we like that Citrix Systems has low and conservative payout ratios. Next, earnings growth has been good, but unfortunately the company has not been paying dividends as long as we'd like. Overall we think Citrix Systems scores well on our analysis. It's not quite perfect, but we'd definitely be keen to take a closer look.
Companies possessing a stable dividend policy will likely enjoy greater investor interest than those suffering from a more inconsistent approach. Meanwhile, despite the importance of dividend payments, they are not the only factors our readers should know when assessing a company. Taking the debate a bit further, we've identified 2 warning signs for Citrix Systems that investors need to be conscious of moving forward.

A Search for Target Cell Structures Associated with Susceptibility to NK Cells
Christopher S. Henney
Natural killer (NK) cells, regardless of the species from which they are derived, are characterized by their ability to lyse a wide variety of cell types, most notably lymphomas and other tumor cell lines. Normal tissues, including fibroblasts, thymocytes and a portion of bone marrow cells are also lysed, but, in general, normal cells are much less susceptible than tumor cells to NK cell mediated lysis (1,2).

LEE NEWS
Another day, another lime-rock mine
On Sept. 16, Lee County Commissioners approved unanimously an application by representatives for Bell Mine, presently a dirt mine on S.R. 82, to become a lime rock mine with blasting and much deeper mining. They voted to approve DESPITE their own county staff recommending that the application be denied and DESPITE prior decisions by the Hearing Examiner that the mine should be a fill dirt mine only, and DESPITE the applicant having bypassed the usual review and comment process for such requests.
When they voted to weaken mining location protections — i.e., deleting Map 14 — county commissioners said that the public shouldn't worry. They said there were plenty of other protections left in place. Well, that worked out well, didn't it? They ignored the protections that supposedly kicked in, overrode them against the advice of their own staff, and green lighted Bell's mine application.
Below is a link to the Conservancy's letter opposing the application, a link to the staff report recommending denial, and News-Press coverage of the hearing.
Conservancy Letter Opposing Application
Staff Report Recommending Denial
Published in the News-Press on Sept. 17 by Bill Smith
More limerock trucks to roll on State Road 82
In a unanimous vote, Lee County commissioners this week approved changes in the permits for a mine on State Road 82 that clears the way for the mine owners to sell the limerock it digs up in its search for dirt.
Commissioners grappled with the idea that owners of a mine dug to get fill dirt out of the ground cannot sell the limerock dug from the same operation.
The decision overturned a county rule that allowed limerock taken from a mining pit while digging for dirt to be removed and processed but never sold.
Ultimately, commissioners decided there was no difference between the two resources removed from the pit, and gave approval for the owner of the Bell Road Mine to sell limerock.
The decision for the Bell Street mine came two days after what could be the final decision in a long battle over a rock mine on a nearby site.
An administrative law judge dismissed an appeal aimed at blocking permits the commission approved for the Troyer Bros. mine, a short distance away on S.R. 82.
Bell Road mine owners wanted a five-year extension of its permit to 2034 and a change in what it was allowed to do with earthen product dug from 40-foot deep pits.
"It's not the normal formal zoning action," said Community Development Director David Loveland. "This is purely a discretionary decision by the board. You can accept it, deny it, you can do what you consider appropriate."
Debate came down to whether the Bell Road Mine is an aggregate mine or a simple dirt mine where limestone is only removed to reach the fill dirt.
"The difference is the definition," Loveland said. "The difference is you aren't able to sell it. They can process it and get it out of the way, but they can't sell it."
Consultant engineer Carl Barraco, who was hired by the Inge interests, provided a more inclusive definition from an engineering reference publication used by the Florida Department of Transportation.
"Bell Road mine has historically and continues to produce fine aggregate, the sand you have been talking about, and also the limerock you've talked about," Barraco said.
The mine owner, a company fronted by local land use consultant Ron Inge, said that if the company could sell limerock, a key component in roadbuilding, it might reduce costs of rebuilding S.R. 82 because the cost of hauling rocks would be less from the Bell Road mine.
Speaking out against the mine permit change was Meredith Budd of the Florida Wildlife Foundation who said the change didn't receive enough public input.
Randy Johnson, who heads the nearby Sakata Seed Company west of the Bell Mine also objected.
"The change from fill pit to rock mine will create unacceptable impacts to our operation," Johnson said. "Adding blasting, the 'b word' left out of this, will directly impact us and countless owners of property in Lehigh Acres north of State Road 82."
Sakata bitterly opposed the mining permits granted to Troyer Bros. potato farming business, also adjacent to the Sakata property.
On Monday, a final decision rejected a Sakata appeal of the changes in the county land use plan required for Troyer Bros. to receive a mining permit.
The state Department of Economic Opportunity upheld a decision by an administrative law judge that the county decision to allow mining at Troyer Bros. complies with state law.

BritBox: ITV and BBC set out plans for new streaming service
Shows like Love Island, Gavin & Stacey, Gentleman Jack and Broadchurch will be on ITV and the BBC's streaming service BritBox when it launches this year.
The broadcasters are joining forces to set up the subscription service in the UK as a rival to the likes of Netflix.
It will cost £5.99 per month in HD, launching between October and the end of December.
New programmes will also be made specially for BritBox, with the first arriving next year.
Other existing series to be made available will include Victoria, Happy Valley, Les Miserables, The Office and Benidorm.
How will BritBox work?
The monthly fee will cover multiple screens and devices, "which is less than other streaming services", a statement said.
Many ITV and BBC programmes will move on to BritBox after they have been broadcast on TV and fallen off the broadcasters' own catch-up services – BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub. The BBC is soon expected to get permission from regulator Ofcom to keep shows on iPlayer for a year as standard.
As well as recent shows, it will also be the home of thousands of hours of classic British comedies, dramas and documentaries.
Not all BBC and ITV programmes will automatically move to BritBox, though.
Many are made by independent production companies, who own the rights and might instead sell them to a service like Netflix after their TV broadcasts, as has previously happened with hits like Peaky Blinders.
The BBC and Netflix will also carry on co-producing programmes together as a way of sharing costs, especially for big-budget dramas.
And not all shows on BritBox will be exclusive to BritBox – so they might appear on more than one streaming service. The new shows to be made specifically for the new platform will be exclusive to BritBox, though.
BBC director general Tony Hall said they would be "future classics". He said: "These are exciting times for people who love quality TV. Importantly, these shows will be truly British, showcasing our culture and telling distinctive stories."
Why are the BBC and ITV doing this?
Normally rivals, the two broadcasters want to get a foothold in a fiercely competitive commercial streaming world against the likes of Netflix, Amazon and NowTV, while Disney+ and AppleTV+ are launching soon.
The BBC and ITV tried to launch something similar a decade ago, but were blocked by regulators. Now they are trying to catch up with their heavyweight competitors. Netflix has more than 150 million subscribers worldwide and reportedly spent $ 12bn (£9.5bn) on programmes last year.
Netflix saw its share price plummet this week though, after adding fewer paid subscribers than expected in the last three months, with price rises blamed.
The BBC and ITV launched BritBox in North America in 2017, showing programmes like Midsomer Murders, Poirot and Only Fools and Horses. It now has 650,000 subscribers, which ITV chief executive Carolyn McCall said was "exceeding its targets".
The bottom line is that BritBox is another way to attract eyeballs and to make money from the broadcasters' back catalogues. McCall said the agreement to launch BritBox in the UK was "a milestone moment".
She said: "Subscription video on demand is increasingly popular with consumers who love being able to watch what they want, when they want to watch it.
"They are also happy to pay for this ease of access to quality content and so BritBox is tapping into this, and a new revenue stream for UK public service broadcasters."
ITV will own 90% of the new BritBox service and the BBC's initial 10% stake could rise to 25% in the future.
Will people want to sign up?
Friday's press release said "viewers will want to subscribe to BritBox because it is uniquely British", and that there is "growing consumer demand in the UK for streaming services".
Five million homes have more than one subscription TV service – a growth of 34% per year.
Former BBC executive Ashley Highfield said he thought the £5.99 price was "about right", and that BritBox would end up with subscriber numbers in the "low millions".
He told BBC News: "I don't think they think it's something that's going to take over from Netflix. It's probably going to rub alongside."
It will be "a real challenge" to get Britbox well established, he said, but added: "The BBC and ITV can't really not do this. It's something they've got to get into and try to drive as hard as they can. They stand a reasonable chance of getting a reasonable number of subscribers."
Mr Highfield led the attempt to set up a joint streaming service, dubbed Project Kangaroo, a decade ago.
Amol Rajan: Can a new Kangaroo transform British TV?
"Had we not been terminated by the regulator in what was in retrospect a very myopic decision, then we might have already a great British streaming service being the market leader in the UK," he said.

Q: Show different progress bars for multiple image upload with AngularFireStorage I followed this tutorial to build an image upload function with dropZone in my Angular4 App: Firebase Storage With AngularFire - DropZone File Uploader
It´s working very well with single upload. But I need a multiple upload function. So I changed my code into this:
Component
startUpload(event: FileList) {

 Array.from(event).forEach(file => {
   if (file.type.split('/')[0] != 'image') {
     alert('Dieses Dateiformat wird nicht unterstützt');
   }

   // Storage path
   const path = `uploads/${this.currentUserEmail}_${file.name}`;

   // Meta Data
   const customMetadata = {
     auction: 'test'
   }

   // Main Task
   this.task = this.storage.upload(path, file, {customMetadata});

   // Progress Monitoring
   this.percentage = this.task.percentageChanges();
   this.snapshot = this.task.snapshotChanges();

   // File Download Url
   this.downloadURL = this.task.downloadURL();
 })
}

Frontend

Upload

Ziehe Deine Fotos via Drag & Drop in die rechteckige Fläche oder klick auf "Datei auswählen"

      <input multiple="multiple" class="file-input" type="file" (change)="startUpload($event.target.files)">

      <progress [value]="pct" max="100"></progress>

      {{ snap.bytesTransferred | fileSize }} of {{ snap.totalBytes | fileSize }}

Results

The function startUpload writes all images properly in storage, but in frontend I don´t know to show separated progress bars for all images or separated results for properly uploaded images. It shows only informations about the last image.
How can I write the code to show multiple progress bars for different images for example?
What I tried
Thinks like this:

 <progress [value]="pct" max="100"></progress>

....but without success.... any ideas?

A: You can create an array of all dropped files like this:
startUpload(event: FileList) {

 Array.from(event).forEach(file => {
   if (file.type.split('/')[0] != 'image') {
     alert('Dieses Dateiformat wird nicht unterstützt');
   }

   const path = `uploads/${this.currentUserEmail}_${file.name}`;
   const customMetadata = {
     auction: 'test'
   }
   const task = this.storage.upload(path, file, {customMetadata});
   const percentage = this.task.percentageChanges();
   const snapshot = this.task.snapshotChanges();
   const fileRef = this.storage.ref(path);
   const downloadURL = this.task.getDownloadURL();

   this.files.push({
      task: task,
      percentage: percentage,
      snapshot: snapshot,
      filename: filename,
      downloadURL: downloadURL
    });
 })
}

and then iterate through it on the front-end like this

  {{ file.filename }}

    <progress class="progress is-info"
              [value]="pct"
              max="100">
    </progress>
    {{ pct | number }}%

    {{ snap.bytesTransferred | fileSize }} of {{ snap.totalBytes | fileSize }}

Nearly half of Albertans are concerned that rising interest rates could lead them to bankruptcy, according to a new poll.
In the latest MNP Consumer Debt Index conducted by Ipsos, about two thirds of Albertans also said they're feeling the effects of rising interest rates. The number of Albertans indicating they're struggling due to the increased rates jumped by 19 points since September, from 45 to 64 per cent.
At 48 per cent, the number of those concerned that rising interest rates could result in bankruptcy was up 14 points since September, the biggest jump in the country over that time frame.
"A large portion of Albertans do not have enough in the budget to make ends meet, let alone address their underlying indebtedness," Donna Carson, a licensed insolvency trustee with MNP Ltd., stated in a release.
The new poll says the number of Canadians who are $200 or less away from financial insolvency at month-end has jumped to 46 per cent, up from 40 per cent in the previous quarter, as interest rates rise.
The survey conducted in December also found that 31 per cent of Canadians say they don't make enough to cover their bills and debt payments, up seven per cent from the September poll.
MNP's president Grant Bazian says many Canadians have so little wiggle room that any rise in living costs or interest payments can spell trouble.
MNP's latest survey also showed that half of Canadians surveyed said they believe they could be in financial trouble if rates continue to rise, up five per cent from the previous poll.
More than six in 10 Albertans expressed concern about their ability to repay debts, also more than any other province, according to the survey. The number of those who said they don't bring in enough money to cover their bills and debt payments jumped 15 points over the same period to 37 per cent.
More than half of Albertans say they will not be able to cover all living and family expenses in the next year without going into further debt.
"Higher interest rates combined with household expenses that outweigh income make it hard for people to make any kind of meaningful reduction in their debt and, in fact, many continue to take on more especially if they encounter unexpected expenses," Carson stated.

Q: Search a label in p4 using description as filter Is there any way to search for a label with particular words in Description of the label?
Ex :
LABEL_1_0_1_STABLE //path/to/component Created by unknown
I want to search all the lables which have "unknown" in their description.

A: Yes, you can use the -e or -E flags (case sensitive vs. insensitive) for the p4 labels command, e.g.
p4 labels -e '*unknown*'

See the P4 labels documentation for more info.

A: This is probably not a very nice and elegant solution but unless someone has a better one you might try to iterate over all labels and grep for your pattern:
p4 labels | cut -f2 -d' ' | xargs -n 1 p4 label -o  | egrep -e "^Label.*|unknown"

If you have many labels it takes a while of course.
Alternatively you could simply call p4 label -o on all labels and write the output into a file for easier searching.

The survey also gives you the opportunity to suggest ideas on any future localizations Sega could do for the series (and even hilariously implies that it may or may not be the only reason fans are even completing the questionnaire).
Regardless, it's a good springboard for fans of the franchise to express their interest in the West getting a localized version of Valkyria Chronicles 3, as well as a possible remastered or ported version of Valkyria Chronicles 2 for PS4 or PC.

GDIT wins $73M contract to boost diverse Navy systems
General Dynamics Corp. will provide IT and other services to the Navy under a five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract that has a potential value of $73.3 million if all options are exercised.
The Hull, Mechanical and Electrical Machinery and Systems support award comes from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, the Navy's leading maritime technology authority that oversees full life-cycle support for maritime technologies, according to a Nov. 21 company announcement.
General Dynamics IT will support hull, mechanical and electrical machinery and systems on Navy vessels and select land-based sites, as well as other federal agency and federally contracted vessels.
These services include prototype engineering, design, development, testing, performance specifications and data analysis, system fault tree and safety analysis, computer programming and software engineering, the announcement said.
The company also will provide system training development and on-site technical support, alteration services, integrated logistics and staging.
The work will be performed primarily in Norfolk, Va., San Diego and Philadelphia, in addition to locations in Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Bahrain and Italy.
General Dynamics Corp., of Falls Church, Va., ranks No. 5 on Washington Technology's 2011 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.


As each of us cherishes time spent with family and friends in this holiday season, let us also remember the nearly 800,000 young people eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) known as "Dreamers" living in our states. These are individuals who played no role in the decision to come here and they have known no other home but the United States.
Given this urgency, we encourage you to come together quickly to shape a bipartisan solution that allows our Dreamers to remain in the United States and continue their constructive contributions to our society.
We stand with these young American immigrants not only because it is good for our communities and a strong American 21st century economy, but also because it is the right thing for our nation to do.
As you know, DACA recipients have subjected themselves to extensive background and security checks in order to work and attend college. They are studying to be teachers, doctors and scientists at our universities. They are working to support themselves and their families, paying taxes and contributing to their communities in a myriad of ways. In the absence of congressional action providing for a permanent resolution, the termination of DACA puts these young people and their families in peril, and will destabilize our schools, workplaces and communities.
We recognize the complexities and challenges created by this issue, but swift, successful action is needed, action that can build momentum to reassure policymakers that progress on other immigration challenges is possible as well.
We urge you to support these young American immigrants by quickly sending a signal that we want them to continue to play a productive role in our communities. As a bipartisan coalition of governors, we stand ready to help.

Even so, the 2021 Kia Sorento is exhibiting its age as extra fashionable rivals such because the Mercedes-Benz A-class are coming to market with more fashionable styling and options; we expect the 2020 model 12 months to be the final for this era of the 2021 Kia Sorento.

Old-school Fitness West open and following health protocols
Shari Simpson, owner, disinfecting the studio floor.
Fitness West is back in business and doing what it does best: staying old-school and keeping the homespun feel that has made the gym a Pacific Beach fixture for 30-plus years.
"We're the oldest, longest-running gym here," said Brian Curry who co-owns the second-floor facility, along with partner Shari Simpson, which is located at 1880 Garnet Ave. in Pacific Plaza II Shopping Center. "We're locally owned, locally operated. It's not corporate. It's just like your gym. It's just like a family."
The pair purchased the business a couple of years ago from previous owners Peter and Paul Dufour.
Curry is quick to point out all social-distancing protocols are strictly observed.
"We take every member's temperature coming through the door, so if something should ever happen, we've got a record of who's been in here," he said, noting no one has had a fever yet more than a week after reopening.
"Masks are highly recommended," noted Curry, adding members are gradually returning. "When people work out, they wipe down everything before and after," he said. "And we're always cleaning."
Recalling what it was like when they were forced to close March 19 Curry said, "We knew it was coming."
"It was in the afternoon and it was surreal," said Simpson. "It was so stepping into the unknown."
"It was nerve-wracking," agreed Curry. "But we knew we were in it with everybody else."
"We locked the door, and we were not sure what tomorrow was going to hold for the gym, or life in general," said Simpson recalling members asking her, 'When are you going to be back open? We had no idea.' It was shock, anxiety, and despair. And then back to anxiety."
"At that time you had to be closed through the rest of March," said Curry. "That was just a weird time and we just kept waiting for the reopening."
"We repainted the whole gym," said Curry of what they did with Fitness West during the three-month downtime. "We did the deepest sanitizing there ever was. The other things we had to do were all the precautionary signage relative to Covid-19."
"We had to do the one-way flow of traffic in here," added Simpson. "We had the proposed guidelines we were prepping for, and then just a couple of days before, they (state) released what the actual ones (guidelines) were, which were different. So there was a lot of scrambling around and trying to get ready for the unknown so that when the trigger was pulled, we could get right on it. But we were kind of jockeying back and forth with what we needed to do."
"The process here isn't really difficult for members," assured Curry. "We don't get packed in here so we don't have to take reservations to use the gym, because we can keep our six-foot social distancing. We do take reservations though for classes because we don't put more than 10 people in. And so we have marks on the floor where people can set up a yoga mat or a bike. And then after each class, we do the mister which puts down a layer of Covid-killing disinfectant."
While Brian concentrated on applying for stimulus loans, Shari was busy concentrating on "what we could bring to the members at home: she said adding, "We recorded classes and gave them to our members for free on YouTube. We did quite a few classes and a variety. We got a lot of feedback saying, 'Natalie's yoga class really saved me.'"
"People, it was all of a sudden, they couldn't go to the gym: It's part of their life," said Brian.
"It's physical and mental health," noted Shari.
Curry pointed out that the gym experience is a social one, and one that, now thankfully, people can once again enjoy.
"People want to come back to the gym," he concluded. "They're upbeat, optimistic. They want to stay healthy."

The increase of the number of protected animals being hunted down and killed for their parts has drawn focus to the wild and prompted official measures to combat poaching — efforts that have been intensified of late.
In Kenya, the causes of species loss have varied through time and include hunting, pollution, invasive species, habitat loss and climate change. These, mirror threats to animal species around the world. Kenya, has however, made significant progress in reducing some of these threats, and helping some species recover. Locally, one of the most endangered animals is the elephant. Reports indicate that an elephant can live up to 70 years without human interference. Yet, they face extinction due to poaching.
Animals are so important to human life and the eco-system that extinction of seemingly small animals like ants could spell total collapse of human life. Yet most of us are oblivious of the many roles of these tiny animals. With the last few remaining species of giant mammals, including elephants, largely confined to Africa, it's up to humans to know better and do better.
Man and elephant co-existence makes for some interesting facts. For example, during the dry season, elephants use their tusks to dig for water. Did you also know that seeds, such as those of the acacia plant have a 90 per cent chance of germinating if deposited in elephant dung? In the savannahs, elephants feeding on tree sprouts and shrubs help to keep the plains open and able to support the plain's game that inhabit these ecosystems. If all their services were gone tomorrow, many plants would go extinct. Birds would die from lack of food, and soil formation would largely halt.
The knock-on effects would be as huge as food webs collapse and the world would quite literally fall apart. The most precious thing about an elephant isn't its ivory. Rather – it's the elephant's ability to influence their natural environment for the better and in turn, ours. After humans, elephants have more influence over their environment than any other species.
So how can elephants be saved?
Future generations depend on animals like elephants, yet strangely, while we care about our children, we care so little for all the creatures which our children depend on. Our focus must be on increasing awareness on the critical role elephants play in our eco-systems.
From a corporate point of view, organisations are no longer focused on only making profit, but also about being mindful of the society and the environment they operate in. Global brand Amarula, has been involved in elephant conservation through The Amarula Trust Foundation. The Trust has over the years played a role in preserving nature and wildlife with the creation of employment and symbiotic relationships through various initiatives. It is one of the ways through which businesses are stepping in to help humanity, aware of the role corporates need to play in maintaining the ecological balance.
To raise awareness for World Elephant Day, Amarula Cream launched the "Don't Let Them Disappear" a joint initiative with African Wildlife Conservation Organisation, WildlifeDirect.
Kenya, and other countries including the US, Canada, South Africa, Brazil and Germany are also participating in the global campaign. On Sunday, an ice sculpture of a life-size elephant will slowly melt in Nairobi, dramatically symbolising the disappearance of the elephant population. This hopefully will create awareness about the need to conserve elephants in Kenya and beyond.


approach to end-of-life decisions, advanced care planning and withdrawal from dialysis have been addressed by Davison and Holley.43 Non-Western cultures, significantly represented in the Australian population, may have very different understandings of the medical system, health and disease. These cultural sensitivities need to be taken into account when discussing palliative care and end-of-life decisions. Several studies have indicated that the beliefs and values of health professionals have a clear impact on the integration of palliative care into the management of ESKD patients. Twohig and Byock64 found that the focus of care remained on cure and prolongation of life and that ethical cultural and legal issues impact on the clinical decision to withdraw or withhold dialysis.

F108. Knowing Your Place: Identity and Space in Young Adult Fiction
Grand Salon A, Marriott Waterside, Second Floor
Whether it's a landscape, a building, or a city, space is never just a physical thing in fiction nor is it an entirely blank canvas. In this panel, young adult authors of various publishing experiences will explore how physical spaces can impact identity and influence characterization. Discussions will include how places can become barriers or aspirations for characters and explore when setting fails to go beyond racist tropes. Authors will offer tips on how setting can become a rich character.

As a regular user of #SQLDeveloper, I decided to go ahead and check v4.1 EA1 connectivity to the Oracle Big Data Lite VM. The good news is that it works. The better news, is the steps are the same for the SQL Developer 4.0.3, the most recent GA release. If by chance, you haven't already come across a "How-To" on this configuration, here's how I have on my Win8.1 machine. You can follow these steps for both releases.
Let's assume you've got SQL Dev 4.0.3 or 4.1 EA1 installed. Next is to download the Big Data Lite VM. You can find that on the Oracle Technology Network site here. You will also need to download the connectors for HIVE from Cloudera. The version I used can be found here.
You might be presented with a screen asking for contact information. Anyway, after downloading the HIVE connector, unzip in a location that can be accessed by SQL Developer. I typically create a folder in the SQL Dev folder for this.
Now that we've got the file unzipped, we will add them to the 3rd party drivers sections in SQL Developer.
Click the Add Entry… button, browse to where you unzipped the JDBC drivers. To save you from counting, add all of the files in the Cloudera folder. Click OK, and there you have it. Magically, the New/Select Database Connection screen has a tab for Hive.
A few things to note on this screen are the Host Name and the Port. For the Host Name, I am using the IP address from the Big Data Lite VM. You can find this using the ifconfig config from a terminal screen in the VM. The Port number 10000 is the default port. Simple enough right? In case you missed it somewhere, default password for the Oracle user is welcome1.
Once this is set up, check your connect by clicking the Test button. If you see success, save this connection. I typically go ahead and check the Save Password box, but that's your choice. With everything configured correctly, I connect and log into the Hive and now I can query the data using SQL Developer.
Note, that this is using an Early Adopter version of SQL Developer and requires JDK 8.
If you need directions for doing this on MAC O/S, check out my friend Bobby Curtis' post over here.


He said the council had decided to issue the fatwa although the Health Ministry is still waiting for the experts to decide.
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Fatwa Council has ruled that smoking e-cigarettes is forbidden in Islam (haram), said its chairman, Profesor Emeritus Tan Sri Dr. Abd. Shukor Husin.
He said the e-cigarettes are dangerous, wasteful and harmful to health, Utusan Malaysia reported.
"So, with all the three reasons, we say it is haram," Abd Shukor was quoted saying at a press conference after the Perak Syariah Malaysia 2015 talk, yesterday.
He said the Islamic edicts or fatwa was issued based on the council's stand on shisha smoking.
"We have discussed on cigarettes and shisha and we can equate them with vape. We have decided and there is no problem in this matter," he was quoted.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam had last week said smoking using the shisha and e-cigarette or vaping methods should be temporarily stopped until the findings on the risks are announced in two months time.
He said his ministry was in discussions with various agencies and related parties to get their views on the effects these methods of smoking have on health.

Help is on the way to kill 'spam'
Junk email is the scourge of the 21st century. This 'spam' plagues in-boxes globally. Now internet service provider BT claims to have found the solution with the launch of the world's first 'spam buster' writes Phil Simms.
Have you had a spam attack lately? Probably. According to a new report released by the Messaging Anti-Abuse Work Group (MAAWG) as much as 85 per cent, that's 6.5 billion, of all daily emails are junk. These unwanted messages are generated by professional spammers and 'botnets,' which are the PCs of unsuspecting customers that are secretly infected with deceitful software.
These networks of botnets, also known as the "Zombie Army," generate massive quantities of unwanted spam and are used to attack other machines and websites. "Junk emails are an ever-increasing problem for all internet users," says J. O'Donnell, MAAWG's senior research scientist.
"Most spam messages are advertisements from individuals and the occasional business looking for a way to make a fast buck. For service providers, bad filtering not only causes significant customer churn, but the cost to process, deliver and store bad messages easily exceed £11b a year.'
"Spam messages are usually sent out using sophisticated techniques designed to mask the messages' true sender and points of origin and, unfortunately, most anti-spam software fail to filter this out," O'Donnell added. Indeed, a lot of current anti-spam software is not fool proof in its ability to filter out unwanted emails.
Despite the best efforts of internet service providers (ISPs), spammers are becoming more adept at avoiding the system. Because they are unable to recognise all junk email, instead of deleting the offending messages and blocking the senders, the messages make it through to users' main in-boxes. But BT claims to have found the solution and is implementing what it says is the world's first fully automated 'spam buster' system designed to detect and block professional spammers using the BT broadband network.
This latest detection system scans millions of emails a day, providing BT with detailed reports on the location and size of spam-related problems originating from the BT network. The anti-spam software also lists the top spammers and reports each subscriber's email activity to a central office in London and notes the time of day and how much bandwidth is wasted on a daily-basis by unwanted or harmful traffic.
"In a world-first; we're turning the tables on professional spammers and cutting off this scourge of the internet at source", said Stratis Scleparis, of BT Retail. He added: "We are delighted to work with StreamShield Networks on this innovative approach which both tracks down and reduces spam messages on our network, and at the same time helps our customers to overcome the threat of infection by botnets."
Unsurprisingly spammers often say that spam is not a problem. Just hit 'delete' if you don't want to see it. Many spam messages carry the tagline "If you don't want to receive further mailings, reply and we'll remove you." But spam is a huge problem. In fact, junk email and junk postings are one of the most serious threats facing the Internet today.
Spam messages waste the Internet's two most precious resources: the bandwidth of long-distance communications links and the time of network administrators who keep the Internet working from day to day. Spam also wastes the time of countless computer users around the planet. Moreover, in order to deliver their messages, the people who send spam mail are increasingly resorting to fraud and computer abuse.
Indeed, fighting spam has become an increasingly serious business. Far gone are the days of funny viral e-mails or hot babes that were merely harmless fun. Spam has reached staggering volumes and the increasingly malicious nature of these messages poses a serious security risk. While in the past spammers relied entirely on sheer volume to achieve their aims, now finding a victim is not just a numbers game anymore.
There are filters and other anti-spam software to overcome, prompting spammers to become more sophisticated, both in terms of avoiding security software but also with them making content much more malign. One new tactic is image spam, where a message is contained in a graphic, which is harder for spam filters to recognise.
Some spam messages may trigger a download that, once installed on a vulnerable computer, secretly spews out even more junk and tries to infect other computers. Moreover, there has been a sharp rise in the spam known as 'phishing'. These messages aim to trick users into divulging identity or financial details, usually by luring them to fake banking sites.
More than 52 per cent of all malicious emails monitored by online security provider MessageLabs during September were phishing-related and this number is set to rise. They also found that one out of every 90 emails sent in the UK contains a virus. BT's software is designed to automatically quarantine and control infected botnet subscribers. BT can then contact them and help them clean their PCs, using a chargeable service.
This will help all of BT's customers by reducing the likelihood of email traffic from BT networks being blocked by other providers and third-party email systems says the compan. It will also help BT to avoid customer loss of botnet-infected PC owners who can no longer send email because they have been blocked by other ISPs.
However, with the automation of the service and the fact that accounts will be quarantined' there remains the risk of mistakes that block out genuine emails and lots of customers who get angry about this. Other ISPs will be monitoring the situation closely to see if the British telecommunications giant can get its new software to work smoothly.
So, what does this mean for those people who do not have BT as their ISP? Indeed, increasingly, scammers are creating emails which are so convincing that they appear to be from legitimate companies, by using corporate logos with links to highly sophisticated fake websites. Despite this, online shoppers and surfers are still not taking adequate precautions to protect themselves online and this has led to concerns that UK consumers are too trusting and likely to believe a tempting email offer.
A survey by Get Safe Online has found that despite the fact that two thirds of internet users, about 19 million people, have been confronted with a suspicious email or website, and more than a third have received bogus emails asking for banking details or advising them of a lottery win or financial inheritance. In addition, the survey found that almost half of the people, would not automatically delete an unusual or unfamiliar email, despite the increase in scamming online and a recorded 5.7 billion phishing emails sent each month, according to the Anti-Phishing Working Group. That's almost one for every person on the planet.
O'Donnell insists "It is important that consumers are aware of the increase and professionalism of online scammers. You wouldn't let a suspicious sales person into your house and the same amount of caution should be taken when receiving emails from unfamiliar people or companies. He added: "The economic motivations driving messaging abuse are immense. This has driven spam and phishing to new levels of sophistication. Only time will tell if the BT effort will be able to adapt rapidly enough to the evasive maneuvers that spammers will engage in to avoid this technology."

Welcome to Detroit (Source: frugal-cafe.com)
By COURTNEY MORRISON, Staff Reporter
Students and staff looking for something fun and exciting to do this summer can look to the University of Michigan-Dearborn's Wolverines in the 313 Series.
The Wolverines in the 313 Series offers a variety of unique ways for students, faculty, staff and their families to explore Detroit.
These opportunities vary from Detroit Tigers games to bike tours of Belle Isle, Corktown, and other areas.
Jonathan Larson of the inCLUDE office started the series after receiving an overwhelming response from students wanting to go to events in Detroit as a group.
As of right now there are 11 events that will take place from May to September. However, the series runs all year round, not just in the summer.
Since a lot of students and staff members feel uneasy about going to Detroit themselves, this is an opportunity that provides a sense of security because of the group setting. Larson says the point of the series is to help students become more comfortable with Detroit.
"It's really just a way to get faculty,staff, and students engaged in the city in a way that they do not feel alone or nervous, since we go as a group." Larson said.
Transportation is included in the price for most events, except the bike tours. You can either bring your own bike or there are bikes available for rent.
The 313 series kicked off on May 9 with a walking tour of Detroit's Eastern Market. Participants had the opportunity to taste locally-grown food, visit specialty shops in the area and learn about its history.
Larson says that he is open to suggestions about events and activities for the series.
"If there is a smaller event happening in Detroit that I may not have heard about, students are more than welcome to email me and suggest it," Larson said. "Any event students want to go to they can suggest to me."
Many of the events this summer are bike tours, but once it gets a little colder outside the events shift to things like DIA visits, Noelle Night and different festivals happening in Detroit, such as an Electronic Music festival.
