You guys, I'm super bad about eating lunch. Like, I'll usually have something, but it's usually just the most convenient thing I can find. I hate cooking lunch. In the middle of the day, I'm usually doing something else and don't want to prepare food. Often times, my family has a bunch of leftovers in the fridge, which is great when I don't feel like making anything. Or, if leftovers aren't available, I'll opt for a sandwich. And as much as I love sandwiched, they get REALLY OLD after a while. Sometimes I'll even just have a Go-Macro bar or an apple and some nut butter. Lunch just isn't really my thing. That's why I decided to come up with a Simple Sunflower Sweet Potato Noodle Bowl.
I actually didn't like sweet potatoes the first time I ever had them. After eating a sweet potato casserole, made with brown sugar and topped with marshmallows, I went years thinking I didn't like them. Then, I tried sweet potato fries and immediately became obsessed. When sweet potato noodles became a thing, I was ecstatic. I knew it would be the perfect base for soups, pastas, and all of my favorite Asian-inspired dishes!
I've tried a lot of brands of sweet potato noodles in my day, and I've only found a couple that really do it for me. I've found is that those sweet potato noodles that come in plastic containers taste better and last longer than those that come in plastic bags. The ones that come in plastic bags tend to get a sour, rancid flavor long before the "Best By" date. It makes the dishes taste awful and honestly, it's made me sick before. That's why I tend to stick with the sweet potato ribbons from Trader Joe's or the sweet potato noodles from Cece's Veggie Noodle Co. However, I personally like the thickness (and the price!) of the Trader Joe's ribbons better!
I wanted to make this sweet potato noodle recipe simple, fast, and easy. I also wanted to make sure that just about anyone could eat it. That's why I'm super happy to say it's gluten free, added sugar free, nut free, soy free and has a vegan option! Simply choose the protein that best suits your dietary needs! Additionally, this recipe can be made with as much or as little spice as you'd like. With my Interstitial Cystitis, I have to pretty much avoid spicy foods. That's why I only use 1/8 tsp of red pepper flakes for this sauce. If you like a little more kick, simply up use of the red pepper flakes!
This Simple Sunflower Sweet Potato Noodle Bowl recipe is healthy, filling, and incredibly customizable. I can't wait to see what you guys do with it!
Heat olive oil in a medium or large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add protein, sweet potato ribbons, half of the garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pan.
Saute seasoned protein and sweet potato ribbons in the pan, stirring approximately every minute.
While sweet potatoes and protein are cooking, combine sunbutter, sesame oil, coconut aminos, the other half of the garlic powder, water, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Heat in microwave from 15 seconds, then stir until fully combined.
When the sweet potato ribbons and protein are almost cooked, stir in spinach and allow to cook until spinach is wilted down.
Add sweet potato mixture to a bowl, top with sunbutter sauce and cilantro.
Note: the fats from the sunflower butter and the sesame oil may separate if you add too much water and overheat the sauce. The consistency should be relatively thick, almost like a paste, that can easily be mixed in and coat the sweet potato noodles.
Your Sweet Potato Noddles recipe looks like a quick dish. When I get home in the evenings I do not want to slave over the stove for too long and your Sweet Potato Noddles recipe seems just the dish to allow for this. However, what is coconut aminos?
Thanks for checking out my recipe! Coconut aminos are a substitute for soy sauce. It's made from coconuts, soy free, lower in sodium, and tastes amazing! I use the Coconut Secret brand and it's great! Also sold at Trader Joe's!
That actual looks and sounds really good! At first I thought to myself that is something I would not like. But after reading the ingredients I like I would really enjoy it! I honestly have never heard of sweet potato noodles!
Thank you so much for reading through it! Sweet potato noodles have become kind of the "it" pasta substitute it seems! It's literally just strips of sweet potato, which is so awesome. I hope you enjoy!
This is a unique recipe! I am always looking for something healthy and DIFFERENT to make. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Enjoy!!
Wow This looks so good! I totally need quick and healthy recipe these days, This is perfect for a working mom like me, who got no time to prepare lunch. Thanks for sharing!
These look so yummy! I love sweet potato much, so I can imagine how good this dish is! Saving for later!
Thank you so much! I'm a huge fan of sweet potato myself, but mostly in savory dishes!
Wow, what a great idea for sweet potato. Looks amazing!!
Thank you so much! It's definitely a fun dish!

Offical
Name: Padilla, Alex
Current Position: Secretary of State
Two-term Democratic state Senator Alex Padilla was sworn in as California's first Latino Secretary of State in January 2015, replacing Debra Bowen, whose last months in office were plagued by a debilitating struggle with depression but were preceded by years of controversy. He will take the reins of an office that has struggled to provide campaign finance transparency, make better use of technology and handle nonelection responsibilities related to corporations.
The Pew Charitable Trust was not very charitable to California in 2012 when it rated the state third-worst in the nation in its Elections Performance Index. The reputation of the Secretary of State's office, which is charged with handling all things election related, has only gone downhill since.
The state has been stumbling toward a 2016 deadline to launch VoteCal, a voter registration database that would make same-day registration possible, and by the looks of its website, a lot of work remains. California Business Connect, an online project for streamlining business filings and provide access to records, is still a work in progress. And Cal-Access, the campaign-finance system, is deservingly much-maligned.
Often spoken of as a potential candidate for governor or U.S. Senate, Padilla will also be charged with doing something about California's record-breakingly bad voter participation numbers.
Padilla was born in Panorama City, in Los Angeles County, and grew up with two siblings in Pacoima, where he attended San Fernando High School. His parents met in Los Angeles after moving from Mexico. Padilla received a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1994. He returned to California after graduation and worked briefly as an engineer writing software for Hughes Aircraft satellite systems.
Padilla, a Democrat, got involved in politics in 1995 as a staff aide to Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California). He subsequently worked as campaign manager for three winning Democrats in three years: Assemblyman Tony Cardenas in 1996, Assemblyman Gil Cedillo in 1997 and State Senator Richard Alarcon in 1998. He was also a district director for Cardenas.
Padilla began his own political career in 1999. The 26-year-old Democrat became the youngest Latino ever elected to the Los Angeles City Council and two years later his colleagues elected him council president. He was president of the League of California Cities in 2005-2006.
Padilla won a seat in the State Senate in 2006 and was re-elected in 2010 with almost 70% of the vote. He was termed out of office in 2014 and joined a crowded field in the race to replace termed-out Secretary of State Bowen. But early favorite state Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) dropped out after being arrested in an FBI sting operation and Padilla defeated Republican Pete Peterson, winning 53.6% of the vote in the November general election runoff.
Padilla, like his predecessor, was known during his tenure in the legislature as a technology buff. That didn't turn out to be one of Bowen's strengths, but Padilla made his MIT engineering degree and technology focus in Sacramento a big part of his pitch for the job. He introduced legislation in 2012 that governs the rollout of driverless cars in the state and was instrumental in getting development of a statewide earthquake warning system off the ground.
Padilla also authored the legislative ban on single-use plastic grocery bags that will probably be challenged in a referendum in 2016.
Padilla is a former member of the MIT governing board and president of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO).

This Facilitator Training Programme is conceived as an intensive training programme of a small group of facilitators (joint staff training programme), in a blended mode, in order to prepare them for the development and delivery of the student auditor training programme that prepares students for completing a university social responsibility (USR) audit through the ESSA Project.
This includes a preparatory package with a personal presentation; identification of three practices of social responsibility that trainee facilitators consider to be "good" practice; initiation of an "Individual Training Journal" and key reading and videos recommended on the topics.
The week is divided into three main topics: the USR concept and benchmarking; the Social Responsibility Audit; and the pedagogical preparation for the student auditor training.
This phase begins one week after the end of the face-to-face training week with a training evaluation questionnaire. In addition to assessing and measuring the impact of training, this also provides a forum for discussion and sharing of materials between facilitators within the development of the subsequent training of student auditors. It was composed by a series of tasks which are launched every other week, between the end of the Facilitator Training and the beginning of the student Auditor Training Programme. This is a tool which is available to the facilitator group throughout the duration of the ESSA project.
The pedagogical strategies focused on during the training mirror those adopted in the Auditor Training Programme. These include promoting group work, debate, problem resolution, and individual reflection, balanced with structured coverage of new contents, by the trainers, and the systematisation of the results achieved at the end of each activity, both by the trainees and the trainers.

Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS, auch im Deutschen verkürzt als Aminosäureindex bezeichnet) ist eine Kennzahl aus den Ernährungswissenschaften, die die Qualität von Proteinen beschreibt, basierend auf den menschlichen Proteinanforderungen und der Möglichkeit, diese zu verdauen.

Das PDCAAS-Rating wurde 1993 von der US-amerikanischen FDA und der Ernährungs- und Landwirtschaftsorganisation der Vereinten Nationen (FAO/WHO) als "die beste Methode" zur Bestimmung der Proteinqualität angenommen.

Methodik

Wie der Name der Kennzahl suggeriert, berechnet sich diese aus zwei Komponenten, dem Aminosäureindex (Amino Acid Score, AAS auch als Chemical Score bezeichnet), welche um die faecale Verdaulichkeit des Nahrungsproteins (Protein Digestibility) korrigiert wird. Der Aminosäureindex fasst das Aminosäurenprofil mit für den Menschen unentbehrlichen Aminosäuren in einer Kennzahl zusammen. Die faecale Verdaulichkeit beschreibt den prozentualen Anteil einer aufgenommenen Substanz, die im Darmtrakt auch wirklich absorbiert wird. Die Berechnung erfolgt anhand der folgenden Formel:

Beispiele

Bei der gemeinsamen Aufnahme unterschiedlicher Lebensmittel kann der PDCAAS erheblich gesteigert werden. So ist durch eine Kombination von zum Beispiel Hülsenfrüchten, Gemüse und Getreide effektiv eine ähnlich hohe Proteinqualität möglich wie bei Proteinen tierischer Herkunft.

Kritik

Insgesamt bleibt eine Bewertung von verschiedenen Proteinquellen schwierig, wenn es um den Erhalt normaler Körperfunktionen geht. So schreibt die Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition:

Ein weiteres Problem ist, dass der Fokus auf die Proteinqualität tierische Eiweissquellen wie Fleisch, Milch oder Eier bevorzugt. Daraus könnte man ableiten, dass tierisches Eiweiß auch bevorzugt konsumiert werden sollte. Allerdings zeigen sowohl Beobachtungsstudien als auch Interventionsstudien, dass eine pflanzenbasierte Ernährung gesünder ist als eine Ernährungsweise mit hohem Konsum an tierischen Produkten. Damit steht die Sinnhaftigkeit des Konzeptes der Proteinqualität in Wohlstandsgesellschaften mit ausreichender Nahrungsversorgung in Frage.

Q: Jquery- how to identify a clicked button's class Right now, I have
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".follow-button").click(function(){
        alert("asdf");
    }
});

<button class="follow-button" align="right" align="center">
        Follow
 </button>

But when I click the button, nothing happens.  What am I doing wrong?

A: $(document).ready(function(){
    $(".follow-button").click(function(){
        alert("asdf");
    });  // <----here
});

A: You missed a closing parenthesis and semi-colon following the click:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".follow-button").click(function(){
        alert("asdf");
    });
});
     ^----- there

A: Looks like you need to add ); to the end of the function
$(".follow-button").click(function(){
        alert("asdf");
    });

A: The other submitters answered your question but I figured I would comment. JavaScript has very unintended consequences that happen when syntax is wrong and it can be hard to figure out what is actually going wrong. I would recommend using JSLint (or JSHint) to catch these sorts of silly errors. (http://www.jshint.com)

India Weather in June
What's the weather like in India in June?
India is a country of mountains, tropical beaches and bustling cities. It's also a huge country, which means there's some really different weather depending on where you go. In general, June is a hot month across India, so you'll need to bring lots of sun cream, stay hydrated, and stay in the shade in the peak of the afternoon. June is also the start of the wet monsoon season for much of the country, with some places seeing vast amounts of rain this month.
In popular Goa on the west coast, the average temperature's 29ºC at this time of year, with highs of 32ºC and lows of 27ºC. June is an incredibly wet time for the region, and almost 900mm of rain's expected over the course of 22 days. If you're visiting Goa this month, you'll need to prepare for heavy rains by bringing a waterproof jacket. Further north and inland, it's much drier in New Delhi, which has an average of 75mm of rain across four days in June. It's even hotter here too, with highs reaching a sweltering 37ºC in the peak of the day.

Former Lawmaker Recalls Bribe Offer on Landfill Legislation
Excerpt from Stephen Hale's thorough report on a lawsuit, legislation and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation as they relate to a landfill near Camden.
If the Jackson Law didn't deliver the protection Camden residents hoped, maybe other legislation will. State Rep. Tim Wirgau, whose district includes Camden, is actively trying to slow the landfill permitting process. He's filed a bill (HB952) that would amend the Jackson Law by adding a requirement for public notice and a public hearing prior to an increase in a landfill's classification, or an expansion of the type of waste the landfill is authorized to accept.
Last year, Wirgau sponsored a bill that would have effectively shut down the EWS site. The bill made only one proper appearance in a subcommittee — which was not attended by EWS representatives — and was eventually deferred without ever getting a vote.
His new bill is yet to appear for the first time at the legislature. Wirgau says he's optimistic, but that his guard is up after support he thought he had in his camp last year vanished. And he's already heard from the opposition.
"We have heard from some of the larger landfill people with concerns, like, 'Oh, we've already got enough problems so I don't think we're going to be on your side on this one,' " Wirgau tells the Scene. "My take is on it, look — if you're a landfill operator and you are doing a good job, and you are working within your communities and all the boundaries, I don't think any of the locals are going to have a problem with the operation that you're running right now. But if you're a bad actor, and not doing things properly, then you're going to have a tough time getting an expansion or a new permit, especially from the locals."
One former legislator would no doubt sympathize with Wirgau's uphill battle. In 1989, Doug Jackson learned about the dirty politics of trash. Then a Tennessee state representative, he proposed the legislation nicknamed for him in response to a large landfill that had been proposed in his Dickson County district.
Suddenly, Jackson remembers, he was a popular man on Capitol Hill — or at least his office was crowded.
"It had lobbyists lined up 20 deep, and all the landfill companies obviously mobilized in opposition," says Jackson, who left office after his defeat in 2010 and now serves as executive director of The Renaissance Center in Dickson. "And then the Tennessee Municipal League opposed it. The County Governments Association opposed it. It just seemed to have no friends."
It was the toughest piece of legislation he ever sponsored, he says. He adds that it was notable for another reason: the first and only time in office he was ever offered a bribe.
The day after the bill passed out of the House environment committee, Jackson recalls, a man from South Carolina showed up at his law office without an appointment. He said he was involved with several landfills, Jackson says, including what was then the largest hazardous waste landfill in the country along with the landfill proposed for Jackson's district. And he had a proposition.
"He said, 'I've made all the money that I could ever hope to spend in my life, this landfill up here is going to be another good one, and I know you're under pressure. And we're used to addressing that, the pressures of local officials,' " Jackson remembers. "He said, 'I think we can make this worth your while.' "
At that point, Jackson stepped outside and asked his secretary to come into the office and have a seat.
"Now do you want to go ahead and continue this conversation, or do you want to change the subject?" Jackson recalls telling the man.
The man just laughed, Jackson says, and got up to leave saying that he could see they weren't going to get anywhere. Several years later, after the bill had passed into law, the two crossed paths again. Jackson says the man flagged him down, reminded Jackson who he was, and told him he'd done a "very stupid thing."
"You would've made enough money out of that, you would've never had to work another day in your life," Jackson recalls him saying.

Haslam Backs MOOCHERS as Followup to BRIBE
Scott McNutt turned his satire guns on Gov. Bill Haslam Sunday, this time with vouchers as a topic a day before his "state-of-the-state" speech. The piece starts like this:
Gov. Bill Haslam confirmed that, in his annual State of the State address tomorrow, he will introduce his own proposal to create a program in Tennessee to transfer more public money to private hands, beginning with a school voucher system. He declined to elaborate about which private concerns he would make eligible for taxpayer dollars.
The Republican governor told reporters that the tentative title for his plan is the Money Officially Obligated to the Citizenry Hijacked as Earmarks for the Right Schemes (MOOCHERS) program.
"Our MOOCHERS bill is similar to what we did last year with the Business Recruitment Incentivization with Banknote Enticements (BRIBE) system, which allows my administration to fast-track bundles of cash to private businesses that might relocate to Tennessee," he said.
Haslam last year appointed a task force to study school voucher proposals and other options for allowing public money to transfer to private enterprises. He had previously been undecided about whether he would take the lead on a MOOCHERS proposal or if he would let lawmakers control the professional mendicant measure.
…The governor said his plan will be paid for through the state's tax dollars. He also ruled out funding vouchers and other MOOCHERS ventures by replicating tax-credit programs created in states like Florida, which offset corporate donations used for similar MOOCHERS programs.
"Sure, we could set up a program where big businesses get tax rebates for funding business welfare projects we favor, but that means they have to wait longer for reimbursements, and we're looking for the simplest way of transferring taxpayer money directly to private organizations," Haslam explained.
Note: the wrong link was used on this post initially; it has been corrected.

Former State Employee Pleads Guilty to Taking Bribes for Driver Licenses
A Tennessee state employee charged with giving licenses to unqualified applicants pleaded guilty today to federal bribery counts in federal district court in Nashville, reports The Tennessean.
The defendant, Larry Murphy, 54, who worked for the Department of Safety, had been accused of issuing state drivers licenses in exchange for more than $5,000 in bribes over five months ending in April.
U.S. District Judge Kevin Sharp told Murphy, of Antioch, that he faces a maximum prison sentence of 10 years and a $250,000 fine.
In April, federal prosecutors filed a complaint against Murphy after an investigation found that he was connected to a person suspected of selling identification documents to undocumented immigrants.
According to the complaint, when an undercover FBI agent sought from Murphy a commercial driving license without a Social Security number, Murphy made one up.
Murphy also fabricated the agent's medical certification by altering information from another applicant, according to the complaint.
The undercover agent paid Murphy $3,500 through a third party.

Driver's License Examiner Charged With Taking Bribes
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee driver's license examiner has been charged with taking thousands of dollars in bribes to issue licenses to people who failed or did not take the written tests.
Federal prosecutors in Nashville said 54-year-old Larry Murphy of Nashville was a supervisory driver's license examiner employed by the state Department of Safety and worked at the licensing facility on Hart Lane.
The complaint filed Wednesday in federal court says that between January and April, Murphy improperly provided several licenses to four undercover agents in exchange for payment. In one instance, the complaint said that Murphy made up a Social Security number when the undercover agent told him he did not have one.
An attorney for Murphy declined to comment on the charge when reached Thursday.

Mayor Accused of Gambling, Bribes in Affidavit
Millington Mayor Richard Hodges used the power of his office for bribes, routinely gambled at a car repair shop and owed more than $10,000 in interest-free IOU's to a Millington businessman, according to a state investigator's affidavit obtained by The Commercial Appeal.
"Based on the interviews and recorded conversations …, I believe that evidence of official misconduct, bribery, and gambling will be found at Millington City Hall (Mayor's Office) and the Transmission Doctors in Millington," TBI Special Agent David Harmon states in the search-warrant affidavit released Friday.
The document details a series of interviews with a confidential informant who owns a transmission shop in Millington.
According to the documents, Hodges and others gambled in the shop, and the informant loaned Hodges more than $10,000.
Hodges used both a stick and carrot, threatening the businessman with code enforcement inspections and providing him with a police badge, the affidavit states.

Veteran TDOT Employee Pleads Guilty to Taking Bribes
A 40-year Tennessee Department of Transportation employee pleaded guilty on Tuesday to soliciting and accepting $30,000 in bribes, reports The Tennessean.
He faces a prison sentence, but the firm he says gave him the money remains a contractor in good standing with the state. James Douglas Hagar, 60, of Mt. Juliet, recommended an increase in work for the company, Lu Inc., which was installing crash cushions in conjunction with a 2005 widening project on Interstate 65 in Nashville.
The recommendation resulted in an increase in the subcontractor's work from $80,000 to $352,000, according to court documents. The total cost of the taxpayer-funded project was $58 million.

If there is one thing constant in life, it's change.
23andMe has a new version 5 chip which has the genetic reporting industry all up in arms.
Here are some common questions along with answers. Note that 23andMe may change how things are done at any time thereby rendering this entire article irrelevant.
Does 23andMe still test for MTHFR in the raw data?
Yes. Both MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) and MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) are there.
Can I access my raw data still?
Yes. You can access your raw data and download it as a .TXT file.
Which SNPs are missing from the new 23andme v5?
It depends on which genetic reporting tool you are using. Some reports are missing hundreds of SNPs. I say good riddance as most of those SNPs were likely irrelevant anyway. The presence of a SNP does not mean there is any variation of function – at all. People still are not getting this concept – and it is very frustrating.
rs72558181 MAT1A. This is quite rare anyhow in the population. Seeing how it is affected is possible in your StrateGene report. Testing for 'Methionine', 'magnesium' and 'SAMe' can be done to see if this gene is working as it should.
rs1799895 SOD3. Testing 'lipid peroxidation' can make up for this. Seeing how SOD is presented in StrateGene will offer some diagrammatic insights of how to support it.
rs1050450 GPX1. Testing 'lipid peroxidation' can make up for this. Test to see if your GPX is dirty here.
rs1800783 NOS3. If having cold hands and feet, that a dirty NOS3. Your StrateGene report will still provide Test to see if your NOS3 is dirty here.
i6018900 SULT1A1. This hasn't been called for some time. You should avoid food coloring, preservatives anyhow.
rs6323 MAOA. This is a bummer. Easy questions can determine if this gene is dirty or not. Use your StrateGene report to still provide you diagrammatic insights on how it works with other genes. Check to see if your MAOA is dirty and what to do about it.
rs1137070. MAOA. Same as above.
rs1799836. MAOB. Use your 'Histamine Pathway' in your StrateGene report to see what you can do to support it. Seeing if your 'riboflavin' levels are sufficient is important here.
rs10156191. AOC1/ABP1/DAO. If you have histamine intolerance from food or drink, then this gene is dirty – period. You don't need a SNP to tell you this. See if your DAO gene is dirty and how to clean it up.
rs2228570. VDR. This is a touchy SNP in the first place and the information in published research is conflicting. Read this to learn more about vitamin D.
i3002468. HFE. Key here is to check your 'serum ferritin' and 'TIBC'. This has to do with hemochromatosis which is quite common. Personally I have yet to see anyone with this SNP ++.
If you have not yet run 23andMe, you may still benefit from it if you are ok with not having the above SNPs in your results. It is still a good value for $99.
Is Ancestry.com a better option now?
No. I ran my Ancestry test and imported it into StrateGene. There were way more SNPs missing than 23andMe v5.
Which genetic testing reporting tool should I use?
I personally do not recommend using MTHFR Support, Livewello, Nutrahacker or Genetic Genie.
I do not agree with the SNPs they are calling as clinically-relevant nor do I agree with the recommendations provided.
StrateGene is the most researched, cited and actionable genetic testing report available. No it does not provide supplement recommendations. One cannot make recommendations based solely on a genetic report.
Promethease and Self Hacked are two other reporting companies that have researched information. Be cautious with any supplement recommendations made, however. I do not support that at all.
I am currently working on a solution which will be vastly superior to both 23andMe and Ancestry. You can also be assured that it will maintain the strong clinically-relevant and published literature review requirements as the current StrateGene. The only difference? It will have more information and more relevant SNPs.
It is unknown when this will be available. I expect it to be available Spring 2018.
I have my genetic testing done. Where should I start?
Ask any winning coach where to start and they will say – "Start with the fundamentals." There is no point to have genetic testing done if you have not yet done the basics. The basics are not taught unfortunately anywhere. My years of working with patients and professionals of all types worldwide has taught me which fundamentals are essential.
Consolidated into an easy-to-digest, do on your own time and practical collection of videos, the Dirty Genes Course is where you should start.
Share your thoughts and comments below and I will address them as they pertain to the new 23andMe v5 chip and genetic reporting.


Okay, perhaps the title of the post is not quite as memorable as Charlton Heston's famous line from Planet of the Apes, but it certainly captures my sentiments after reading an article in Slate that calls for the elimination of the $100 bill. The author, Timothy Noah, says that large bills are only for "criminals and sociopaths." Here's the crux of his argument.
Anti-money laundering laws are a classic case of Mitchell's Law, which is the notion that bad policy begets more bad policy (this insight has been around forever, but I'm quite envious of Art Laffer for the Laffer Curve, so I'm trying to give myself a small measure of notoriety by being the lead proponent of the concept). The government passes drug laws that create huge profits for criminals. But rather than fight criminals (or, as libertarians would argue, get rid of victimless crimes), the government imposes policies that make life more difficult and costly for everyone else.
But regardless of what people think about drug laws, let's at least use common sense and tell the crowd in Washington that it's our choice whether we use $100 bills.
And, bring back the $500 and $1000 bills while we are at it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO. WE. DON'T. Those five words are the last you'll hear right before crappy policy that is going to screw things up worse. It's worse than DOING NOTHING! Errrrrrrrrrr! You make me want to remove my ears with a cheese grater so I never have to hear that again.
That currency is going to be used by bad people is something that just has to be accepted as inevitable.
More, the real agenda behind eliminating the $100 bill has nothing to do with money laundering.
It has to do with a state that no longer trusts the citizen with any form of concentrated power.
Given that reality the movement should be in the opposite direction. $500 and $1000 billls should be revived immediately. The $1000 after all has less purchasing power today than the $100 did when the $1000 bills were removed from circulation during the Nixon era.
This is a fairly familiar argument against anti-money laundering requirements. As someone who has worked in the AML field for fifteen years now, I am still waiting for someone to suggest a sensible alternative. Given that none of us wants our financial systems to be used by criminals (I am assuming that most people feel this way….?), what do you suggest we do to prevent it? Surely the identification of customers and the querying of their money movements is a good start? Or would you do something else, given that we have to do something?
Reminds me of my years in Canada when I had to pay my rent in cash & the ATMs never dispensed anything larger than a $20 bill. Not being able to fold my wallet made me feel richer, if only temporarily.
We will need larger wheel barrows when the time inevitably comes.
Actually, the US should revive the $500 and $1000 Dollar bills.
A $1000 bill is worth less today than a $100 was when they stopped printing anything larger than a $100 in the late 1940s.
Classic example of pour dear government shrinking the amount of power it allows to be in the hands of the honest citizen.
With Bernanke at the helm, $100 is the new $20. Perhaps we should really be talking about getting rid of the $1 bill, since it's largely useless and takes up too much space.

Eugene Shoemaker
1996 William Bowie Medal Winner
The 1996 William Bowie Medal, given by AGU for outstanding contributions to fundamental geophysics and unselfish cooperation in research, was presented to Eugene Shoemaker at the AGU Fall Meeting Honor Ceremony on December 17, 1996 in San Francisco.
A Midsummer Night's Observing
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to Earth,
from Earth to heaven
And, as imagination bodies forth
the observers lens
Turns them to shapes, and gives
to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
(Apologies to W. S.)
"Dr. Shoemaker is the leading comet discoverer of this century and has also discovered more than 800 asteroids. Dr. Shoemaker was the key figure in the discovery of Comet Shoemaker-Levy, the string of pearls comet, providing the opportunity to witness for the first time in recorded history the impacts of worlds with world, heavenly body with a planet, events that galvanized our planet. This discovery was the reward of long and painstaking hours of lonely research in the dead of night in unheated observatories. Dr. Shoemaker has many honors, including the Rittenhouse Medal, Cloos Scholar Scientists of the Year, Cosmos Club Lecture Award, and the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal. Time does not permit more discussion of Carolyn's many accomplishments, so I now turn my attention to her husband, Gene.
"Gene Shoemaker has been described in dozens of citations for honorary degrees and awards, and there is really nothing more to say. More importantly, in receiving these awards, he has covered all possible ground so he should have nothing more to say. This part of the ceremony should therefore go very quickly.
"According to Discover Magazine (January 1995), Eugene Shoemaker is a retired planetary geologist and Carolyn is a former housewife.
"This is the kind of modesty one associates with this first family of the nighttime sky, but is perhaps too brief for even this sound byte occasion. I have read over past citations to Gene and they are, of course, full of superlatives and connecting verbs. There is no time to cover this ground again. Accordingly, I will split this citation into two parts: adjectives and adverbs and nouns. To save time, I have eliminated articles and verbs.
"Adjective and Adverbs
"Pioneering, innovative, frontier, first, major, systematic, outstanding, damn, persuasive "Supergene, far-reaching, wide-ranging, climatic, breathtaking, impressive.

"Gene Shoemaker has estimated that a comet of the size of Shoemaker-Levy 9, which I prefer to call Carolyn's necklace, impacts Jupiter once every 2000 years. This particular impact happened just after the comet was discovered, and the Hubble space telescope fixed, after the Galileo spacecraft got into position, when detector technology was right, and while the U.S. government was still investing in research. Although Gene calls this a miracle, I call it another impressive feat of persuasion by Super Gene.
"The last one, 2000 years ago, perhaps this time of year, perhaps on Christmas eve, probably was a miracle. For Carolyn and Gene, this one was business as usual."
—DON L. ANDERSON, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.
"Thank you, Don. Now how do you respond to a citation like that?
"When I was a very young man, not even old enough to vote, I had just gone to work for the U.S. Geological Survey and had this sudden vision—me walking on the Moon figuring out the geology. I even figured out how I was going to get there. A committee sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences would select the scientists to go. Sixteen years later, the last part of this epiphany came true, and I chaired that danged committee. Not getting to the Moon and banging on it with my own hammer has been my biggest disappointment in life. But then, I probably wouldn't have gone to Palomar Observatory to take some 25,000 films of the night sky with Carolyn—she scanned them all—and we wouldn't have had the thrills of finding those funny things that go bump in the night.
"Can you imagine the feeling, after spending close to 40 years off and on poking around holes in the ground where things did go bump in the night, generally to the skeptical amusement of my geological colleagues, to participate in the discovery of an object that would soon hit a planet and then to witness the event? How lucky can you get? I'm glad it didn't happen when I was still very young. What would you do for an encore? Now, Carolyn and I just totter off into the outback of Australia and have a whee of a time, completely cut off from the world, just poking around those old holes in the ground.
"Actually, I'm the luckiest guy on this planet: lucky to have found geology at the age of 8, lucky to have found Carolyn at age 22, lucky to have grown up in the USGS, lucky to have been asked to come to Caltech and be associated with a fantastic faculty and incredible students, students much smarter than I am, like Larry Soderblom, Gary Fuis, and Sue Kieffer—boy, am I glad I'm not competing in the job market these days! The smartest thing I ever did was to be born at the right time—so I could be Johnny at the rat hole right at the beginning of space exploration. You only get to be involved once with the first closeup images of the Moon, or the first landing, or the first close look at those fabulous planets and satellites in the outer solar system. Imagine how it feels to see the first image of the grooved terrain on Ganymede or the totally bizarre surface of Miranda and to have the fun of trying to figure it out. Nobody ought to be this lucky. It's positively scandalous. Just the same, I'm enormously pleased and proud that you think this luck deserves a Bowie Medal.

Q: Why this switch will effectively format disk to ext2 instead of ext4? I'm formatting a disk with following command switches, I can format the disk to ext4.
sudo mke2fs -F -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0,discard -t ext4 -b 4096 ...

However, once I added this switch:
-O ^has_journal

It will be formatted to ext2. Could you explain why?

A: Because ext4 is an extension of the ext2 and ext3 filesystems; one of the features that it extended was the use of a journal.

Although Campu a was the usual photographer of Franco and the Spanish royal family during the dictatorship, to limit any definition of Campu a to the title of "Franco's photographer" means falling prey to reductionism. The vantage point offered by this book allows us to delve deeper into the photographer's work and discover him as a multifaceted figure. It offers us the chance to overcome stereotypes, expand our viewpoint and see the portrait created as an entire society walked in front of the camera held by this great master of 20th-century Spanish photography.

U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reacts on stage to what he may have thought was a security breach during a rally in Ohio. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reacted on Saturday (March 12) to what he may have thought was a security breach while at the podium during a rally in Ohio. Trump was addressing supporters at an airport in Vandalia when he suddenly turned around as if he had been hit by a projectile or was sensing a risk. Several security personnel immediately surrounded the White House hopeful on the stage as the audience looked on. It was not immediately clear what caused the incident although Trump rallies have been the target of vocal protesters, including at a Chicago rally the night before that was canceled because of scuffles between Trump supporters and demonstrators. Trump was campaigning in Ohio which is among five states holding primary elections on Tuesday.

"Elvira" Revealed! Cassandra Peterson's Iconic Character – And Provocative Modeling Career!
By johnrieber on December 4, 2019 • ( 2 )
Undressing The Legend Of "Elvira!"
I saw a photo of Elvira, and decided to find out more about her – and was I ever glad I did!
Actress Cassandra Peterson was the horror hostess "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark" – a character she created that blew up on Los Angeles television station KHJ-TV.
This macabre character wore a revealing, black, gothic, cleavage-enhancing gown as she hosted "Elvira's Movie Macabre", a weekly horror movie presentation.
But Cassandra was much, much more!
Cassandra grew up in Kansas and Colorado, and after graduating high school, Cassandra went to Las Vegas, where she became a showgirl at The Dunes casino.
Cassandra got into the Guinness World Records as the youngest showgirl in the history of Las Vegas. She also played a cameo role in the 1971 James Bond film, "Diamonds Are Forever," as part of the same show.
Cassandra briefly dated Elvis as well as Singer Tom Jones.
In the early 1970s, she moved to Italy, where she met Director Federico Fellini, who gave her a small role in his 1972 film "Roma".
In 1979, she joined the Los Angeles improv troupe "The Groundlings," where Elvira was created.
Peterson's Elvira character wore a tight-fitting, low-cut black gown, and she spoke with the flippant tone of a California "Valley girl."
The combination made her a star!
She loved to make jokes about her cleavage, and in an AOL Entertainment News interview, Peterson said:
"I figured out that Elvira is me when I was a teenager. She's a spastic girl. I just say what I feel and people seem to enjoy it."
Her popularity reached its zenith with the release of the 1988 feature film "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark!"
Elvira also made a sequel years later, but she appeared in films as Cassandra Peterson as well:
Cassandra co-starred with Pee Wee in his debut film, and starred in "Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold", released in 1987, along with Richard Chamberlain and a very young Sharon Stone!
Elvira "Revealed!"
Yes, this is Cassandra Peterson BEFORE she was "Elvira!"
During the 1970s, before the "Elvira" character was born, Peterson modeled for several men's magazines, such as High Society, Man's Delight, and Modern Man.
After her "Elvira" success, these pictures were published again to capitalize on her TV success…and they are provocative indeed!
Ultimately, she published books, appeared in movies, TV shows, had video games and home videos all with her as "Elvira"…even pinball machines!
I have to give credit to an incredibly story about her career – with tons of material and insight…check it out on "Flashbak.com" here:
https://flashbak.com/elvira-an-illustrated-history-of-the-mistress-of-the-dark-366384/
As you can see, Elvira's photo shoots were anything but demure…
So how did Elvira feel about these photos? Here is a great quote from her:
"It was easy for me to do nude scenes all the time because I had been a showgirl for a while, and all you wear is G-string. Basically, that's what I wore in movies. Topless was no problem for me."
I applaud Peterson for her honesty – and she's far from the only movie star to pose for provocative pictures:
That's right: Linda Blair went from a head-turning performance in "The Exorcist" to turning heads with this adult photo shoot!

I bought the Elvira film on VHS, and loved it!
But I knew nothing about the actress, and had never seen a photo of the 'real' person before today.
Thanks for this, John, a great tribute.
Thanks for reading and commenting Pete!

Q: Conditionally toggle `preventDefault` on form submissions in Elm Is there a way to conditionally toggle preventDefault on form submissions?
I've tried using onWithOptions, below, but it seems only the first setting is used, even though I can see it change using Debug.log, when there is a name on the model.
, onWithOptions
    "submit"
    (if model.name == "" then
        (Debug.log "prevent" { preventDefault = True, stopPropagation = True })
      else
        (Debug.log "allow" { preventDefault = False, stopPropagation = False })
    )
    (Json.succeed FormSubmit)

Updated with findings from answer
As stated by @Tosh, hiding the button resolves the issue:
, button
    [ onPreventClickHtml FormSubmit
    , Html.Attributes.hidden (model.name == "" |> not) ]
    [ text " prevent" ]
, button
    [ onClick FormSubmit
    , Html.Attributes.hidden (model.name == "") ]
    [ text "allow" ]

Where onPreventClickHtml is:
onPreventClickHtml : Msg -> Attribute Msg
onPreventClickHtml msg =
    onWithOptions
        "click"
        { preventDefault = True, stopPropagation = True }
        (Json.succeed msg)

Conditionally displaying the button does not work:
, (if model.name == "" then
    button
        [ onPreventClickHtml FormSubmit ]
        [ text " prevent" ]
  else
    button
        [ type' "submit", onClick FormSubmit ]
        [ text "allow" ]
  )

I'm using elm-mdl and so found implementing the solution more challenging because from my experience creating a custom onclick requires types which are not exposed by elm-mdl, and so need to be duplicated.
, if model.name == "" then
    Material.Options.nop
  else
    Material.Options.css "visibility" "hidden"
, onPreventClick FormSubmit

, if model.name == "" then
    Material.Options.css "visibility" "hidden"
  else
    Material.Options.nop
, Button.onClick FormSubmit

onPreventClick : Msg -> Property Msg
onPreventClick message =
    Material.Options.set
        (\options -> { options | onClick = Just (onPreventClickHtml message) })

-- Duplicated from elm-mdl
type alias Property m =
    Material.Options.Property (Config m) m

-- Duplicated from elm-mdl
type alias Config m =
    { ripple : Bool
    , onClick : Maybe (Attribute m)
    , disabled : Bool
    , type' : Maybe String
    }

Another approach, which worked for my scenario, was changing the button type:
, if model.name == "" then
    Button.type' "reset"
  else
    Button.type' "submit"

A: One simple workaround suggestion until someone can show us how to solve it.
How about create two buttons (with different options as you've shown) and depending on the condition show only one of them?
You can use Html.Attributes.hide for that.

US Ships Moderna Vaccine to Indonesia Amid COVID-19 Surge
As Indonesia deals with a surge in COVID-19 cases, the Biden administration is sending three million doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine to the country on July 9, a senior administration official tells VOA. The shipment is one of the largest batches the U.S. has donated, the official said. In total, the U.S. has allocated four million doses for Indonesia, with the remaining one million doses to be shipped "soon."The administration is also sending 500,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to Moldova, the first batch of U.S. vaccine shared with Europe. A woman receives a shot of the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine during a mass vaccination at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia, June 26, 2021.Indonesia surge Indonesia is battling a record-breaking surge in new cases and deaths, due to the highly contagious delta variant. "We recognize the difficult situation Indonesia currently finds itself in with a surge of COVID-19 cases," said the Biden administration official. "Our thoughts are with all those in Indonesia affected by this surge. We support the Indonesian people as they fight this surge and are doing everything we can to help them in this time of need." During a Friday press conference, Indonesian Minister for Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi confirmed the shipment."This is the first shipment through the COVAX mechanism," Marsudi said, referring to the United Nations vaccine sharing mechanism.Indonesia relies heavily on Chinese vaccines, with only about 5% of its population fully vaccinated. The country has procured 108.5 million doses of the Sinovac vaccine but is seeing rising infections among medical workers fully vaccinated with it.After several fully inoculated medical personnel died from COVID-19, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said on Friday the government would give 1.47 million health workers an extra shot using the Moderna vaccine."The third jab will only be given to health workers, because health workers are the ones who are exposed to high levels of virus every day," he told a press conference. "They must be protected at all costs."The Indonesian government authorized the Moderna vaccine for emergency use last week.People line up to get vaccinated with the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine during a mass vaccination at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia, June 26, 2021.Broader COVID-19 response efforts The senior White House official said that in addition to vaccines, the administration is moving forward on plans to increase assistance for Indonesia's broader COVID-19 response efforts. "To date, we have provided more than $14.5 million in direct COVID-19 relief to Indonesia, including $3.5 million to help vaccinate Indonesians quickly and safely," the official said. The official added that support from the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, has also provided Jakarta with public health education, trained thousands of health workers, funded a national COVID-19 information website that has reached more than 36 million people, and donated COVID-19 testing equipment, 1,000 ventilators, and nearly 2,000 handwashing stations.The four-million-dose vaccine shipment to Indonesia is part of the 80 million doses the U.S. has allocated to help countries in need, on top of the 500 million doses it has committed to COVAX. Activists say it is not enough. "We need far more from the United States and other countries that have surpluses to share," said Tom Hart, acting CEO of the ONE Campaign, a nonprofit group that fights global poverty and disease. According to CDC data, most U.S. states have administered at least 75 percent of their first vaccine dose. Hart pointed out that in some countries, less than one percent of people have received a COVID-19 vaccine. "We have locked up in the United States and the G-7 and other EU countries, the global supply of the very thing to end this pandemic," said Hart. "And so far, not sharing at nearly the pace or scale that we need to reach what's the global herd immunity that will make all of us safe."Eva Mazrieva contributed to this report, which includes some information from Agence France-Presse and Reuters.

1) This time, I would like to share a very fantastic, simple and meaningful book wrote by my beloved teacher, Madam Nurnazida Nazri. As I read the book, I believe that she wrote it with her soul with the intention to pull us closer to Allah.
"We have indeed created man in the best of moulds"
As mankind, We are the best creature ever created by Allah. A great capabilities are bestowed on us to see whether we are grateful or not.
"Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not"
4) As for me, the book pictured and illustrated my life very well especially on part of my marriage. I got married during my pupillage period. Of course its quite early to start a family when most of your friends still enjoy being a single. Honestly, the allowance that I earned that time was not much compared to my commitments. Nevertheless, I still firmly decided to get married and start a new life with wifey.
5) We must have faith that 'rezeki' solely come from Allah. It is the total submission to Allah, that we shall practice instead of begging for a sympathy. Of course it is not only about 'rezeki', but everything that ever happen to us are from Allah. After all, submitting to Allah is the most important thing to do as a servant of His Almighty to surf a better life.
