CLEPA supports a sensible further development of pollutant emission standards. Automotive suppliers are committed to sustainable mobility, to improved air quality and public health.
The Euro 7 proposal introduces more stringent limits, covering also new pollutants, as well as extended testing conditions.
The European Commission published today its proposal for new vehicle pollutant emission standards. The Euro 7 proposal, which covers light- and heavy-duty vehicles, aims to improve EU air quality and public health by continuing to lower pollutant emissions coming from road transport.
Overall, the proposal makes a significant step towards higher ambition. However, there are key elements of timing and both technical and economic feasibility that need to be addressed to ensure the new rules can be implemented and also apply to realistic driving situations.
Benjamin Krieger, CLEPA Secretary General, says: "A balanced Euro 7 will encourage innovation and improve air quality, benefiting the environment, consumers, and industry. But it needs to remain realistic as to what is technically achievable with current and near-future technologies."
He goes on to say, "If the advanced internal combustion engine has a role to play in future mobility, its environmental impact has to be further improved. This, alongside controlling emissions from other sources, such as brakes and tyres, which aren't related to the drive train."
CLEPA stresses the importance of the lead time needed by industry to develop and validate the new Euro 7 technologies, and also in consideration of the time required for the co-decision legislative process. The specific technical parameters for vehicle testing are key factors influencing the overall severity of the new regulation; these parameters are not yet known and will come via several implementing and delegated acts, which should be completed as soon as possible to enable a swift implementation of Euro 7. A lead-time of at least 24 months after the finalisation of the secondary legislation is necessary for light-duty vehicles. For heavy-duty vehicles, 36 months are needed.
Further, in light of the upcoming CO2 standards for heavy-duty vehicles slated for beginning of 2023, CLEPA calls for a coherent legislative framework in this regard.
A smooth progress of the complete decision-making process, resulting lead-time and final content, including implementing and delegated acts, remain critical to a successful implementation.
Automotive suppliers stand ready to contribute and actively engage with policymakers to achieve a successful implementation of Euro 7 and other climate policies, balancing environmental, social and economic goals.

A delay of a sector-specific legislation risks further reducing competitiveness and limits consumer choice
The horizontal Data Act is a relevant regulation to ensure a more level playing field between the different actors in the data economy and, therefore, CLEPA strongly supports its overall goal and approach. However, this proposal is not concrete enough to tackle the particular obstacles concerning the deployment of data-based services in the automotive sector. For that reason, the Data Act needs to be complemented by a sector-specific legislation as soon as possible.
Automotive technology is rapidly advancing, with vehicles generating and collecting ever greater quantities of data to operate and monitor systems. This data offers a huge potential to improve and develop new services for the benefit of consumers. However, automotive suppliers and other third-party service providers currently rely on the willingness and conditions of vehicle manufacturers to provide access to this data. Such a level of control on the market carries the risk of creating "gatekeepers", with a detrimental effect on fair competition, innovation and consumer choice.
CLEPA sees the horizontal Data Act as an important first step in improving the situation by ensuring that third parties can provide innovative services to the end user. Moreover, the association welcomes that the proposal puts the consumer in the centre and imposes obligations on data holders.
Yet, we think that the Data Act does not fully reflect the complexities of the deployment of data-based services in the automotive sector. Therefore, we strongly advocate for a swift publication of the proposal for the complementary sector-specific regulation which is currently being drafted by the European Commission.
"A prompt publication of the sector-specific proposal on access to in-vehicle data, functions and resources by the Commission will contribute to improving competition, boosting innovation capabilities of thousands of automotive supply companies, and protecting consumer rights and choice", says CLEPA's Secretary General Benjamin Krieger. "The technical work and discussions behind this legislation have been at full speed for the past years. Going ahead with the proposal now would make a huge difference and allow for its adoption still during the current legislative term."
Key considerations for a successful sector-specific regulation
Complementing the Data Act, the new sector-specific regulation should at least provide:
Transparency on available data by vehicle identification number incl. metadata and formats;
The definition of a common set of data supported by all vehicles;
Sector-specific definitions of product, data holder, and data, especially with regards to the data protected by IP rights;
Granting access to vehicle resources like display, audio, Google Android/Apple CarPlay environments and embedded software routines;
The provision of a common automotive API (Application Programming Interface);
A governance body or forum to assign roles, rights, authorisations, and liabilities, as well as processes for the provision of user consent and API releases and the regular revision of a common data set.
The mild October temperatures provided some relief in Europe to cope with the energy crisis, but the predictions for the coming winter and next year leave little room for optimism: continued supply chain distortions, rising energy and raw materials cost, overall inflation, as well as the weakening demand for vehicles form a perfect storm.
in CLEPA, by Benjamin Krieger, 02-11-2022
The CLEPA Pulse Check, a biannual survey of automotive suppliers conducted together with McKinsey, shows that despite optimisation of production costs and other short-term measures, 23% of suppliers expect to record losses this year. For 2023, the outlook is gloomier still with 27% expecting a loss. The Pulse Check clearly documents the pressure that automotive suppliers are facing, which is likely to be exacerbated this winter. With nearly 70% of the suppliers operating far below EBIT margins of 5%, the financing of the green and digital transition is becoming increasingly challenging.
Suppliers hold strong to their commitment to R&I spending, but without access to affordable energy in the EU and fair sharing of the cost burden from inflation along the supply chain, competitiveness and the speed of innovation in the sector will diminish.
This is an unprecedented situation that requires urgent political action, as the global competitiveness of the European automotive ecosystem is at stake.
Unprecedented regulatory pressure
At the same time, the EU has now confirmed to phase-out the internal combustion engine (ICE) by 2035. The 100% CO2 reduction target at the tailpipe, is in fact, an implicit ban on the ICE technology and the most ambitious target worldwide. Automotive suppliers support the objective of climate-neutral mobility and have the technologies to make this a reality. However, the most ambitious electrification target will not succeed, if it is not accompanied by policies to ensure charging and refuelling infrastructure, green energy, access to raw materials and a just transition. Environmental targets must take into account the social and economic dimensions.
The negotiations on the rules for renewable energy, charging infrastructure, energy taxation and other pieces of the puzzle have yet to be concluded or will only start later, such as the planned policy for critical raw materials. These key files need to result in a coherent framework that can be implemented successfully.
The CO2 regulation foresees a review in the year 2026, which will cover not only the deployment of zero-emission vehicles but also of charging infrastructure, availability of green energy and fuels, affordability of vehicles and the impact on the industry. This review must be an opportunity to correct course where needed.
CLEPA strongly supports technology diversity to ensure that the most efficient and effective approach to cutting emissions prevails and to ensure a manageable transition that leaves no one behind. Technology diversity includes full electrification, hybrid drivetrains and vehicles running on hydrogen, either in gas engines or fuel cells. All of these technologies are climate neutral if running on renewable energy, in the form of green electricity or renewable hydrogen and fuels.
The CO2 regulation for cars and vans, in principle, contains a role for sustainable renewable fuels also in new vehicles. For this clause to have a real world impact, it is up to the Commission to make a proposal for its implementation into law.
Even more than for cars, a technology-open approach is necessary to decarbonise heavy-duty vehicles, which travel long distances typically across borders, are made up of fleets, and have specific use-cases. Hydrogen or carbon-neutral fuels, for example, can effectively reduce emissions to net-zero, alongside electrification, especially for the existing parc of nearly 7 million vehicles. The debate on technology diversity must continue once the proposal for the revision of CO2 targets for trucks starts, and the new Euro7 pollutant emission standards are adopted later this year.
#JustTransition – no easy feat
Meanwhile, the transition is at full pace and requires political support, as CLEPA points out, together with a coalition of unions, trade associations and environment NGOs. A series of publications have quantified potential job losses, gains and expected changes in the automotive sector. BCG concluded that the transformation in the passenger car segment alone would require the upskilling and retraining of 2.4 million workers. The European Battery Alliance argues that 800,000 skilled workers are needed for EU e-mobility ambitions. And CLEPA's recent study indicates that 501,000 jobs in the ICE-supply chain, or 84% of the current ICE powertrain employment, will become obsolete.
Whilst new jobs will be created in the electromobility ecosystem, jobs will not be easily interchangeable as they are often located in different places, along different timelines and require different skill sets. Policy support is vital in addressing this challenge, with targeted funding for training, reskilling and upskilling of workers in the automotive sector.
Given the number of jobs at stake and the magnitude of the ongoing transformation, social disruption due to a badly managed transition might severely undermine the ability of the European Green Deal to succeed in a sector which has so far defended its position as a global export champion.

Protecting Unvaccinated and Otherwise At-Risk Workers in Workplaces Not Covered by OSHA's COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard for Healthcare
Beveridge & DiamondJayni Lanham, Heidi Knight, Mark Duvall, Sarah Kettenmann
OSHA has updated its guidance on workplace protections for unvaccinated and otherwise at-risk workers who are not covered by the COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) for Healthcare. The updated guidance, issued August 13, 2021, reflects the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) mask and testing recommendations for fully vaccinated people issued on July 27 (further updated on August 19) and its guidance on testing that came out on August 2. The OSHA guidance also provides recommendations for safeguarding specific workplaces that are considered higher-risk, including manufacturing facilities, meat, seafood, and poultry processing plants, high-volume retail and grocery workplaces, and assembly line operations (including in agriculture).
The OSHA guidance and CDC recommendations emphasize the importance of maintaining safety procedures and protocols for vaccinated people, who may spread COVID-19 despite being asymptomatic, as well as for unvaccinated people.
CDC and OSHA both recommend that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks in public indoor settings in areas of high or substantial transmission. They note that fully vaccinated individuals may appropriately choose to wear masks in settings with any level of transmission if they or members of their household are at increased risk of severe disease or not fully vaccinated. CDC also recommends that all teachers, staff, students, and visitors of schools wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
OSHA's guidance restates the following general protective measures for all workplaces, with some revisions to reflect the latest mask and testing recommendations:
Facilitate employees getting vaccinated.
Instruct workers who are infected, unvaccinated workers who have had close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, and all workers with COVID-19 symptoms to stay home from work.
Implement physical distancing in all communal work areas for unvaccinated and otherwise at-risk workers.
Provide workers with face coverings or surgical masks, as appropriate, unless their work task requires a respirator or other PPE.
Educate and train workers on workplace COVID-19 policies and procedures using accessible formats and in languages they understand.
Suggest or require that unvaccinated customers, visitors, or guests wear face coverings in public-facing workplaces such as retail establishments, and that all customers, visitors, or guests wear face coverings in public, indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission.
Maintain ventilation systems.
Perform routine cleaning and disinfection.
Record and report COVID-19 infections and deaths.
Implement protections from retaliation and set up an anonymous process for workers to voice concerns about COVID-19-related hazards.
Follow other applicable mandatory OSHA standards (e.g., OSHA requirements for PPE, respiratory protection, sanitation, protection from bloodborne pathogens, employee access to medical and exposure records, and the healthcare COVID-19 ETS, where applicable).
The CDC testing guidance recommends that unvaccinated persons quarantine for 14 days following a close contact with a person infected with COVID-19, or for the period established by local public health authorities. (The OSHA guidance defines "close contact" to mean "where unvaccinated and otherwise at-risk workers are working close to one another, for example, on production or assembly lines or in busy retail settings. Such workers may also be near one another at other times, such as when clocking in or out, during breaks, or in locker/changing rooms.")
However, the CDC guidance recognizes that any quarantine shorter than 14 days balances reduced burden against a small possibility of increasing the spread of the virus. It makes recommendations on when unvaccinated persons may return to work in less than 14 days with only slightly more risk than a full 14-day quarantine. The OSHA guidance adapts these recommendations. Taking the two together, the guidance recommends for an unvaccinated person who has had a close contact with someone with COVID-19:
Remove the person from the office. Tell the person to stay home.
Testing option:
Have the person tested immediately after learning of the close contact.
If the immediate test is negative, have the person retested 5-7 days after the close contact, and again if the person experiences symptoms.
If the immediate and follow-up tests are negative, and the person has not experienced symptoms, allow the person to return to the office 7 days after the close contact.
No testing option:
If the person is not tested, the person should quarantine for at least 10 days.
After that period, the person may return to the office so long as no symptoms have developed.
The person should continue monitoring for symptoms for a total of 14 days after the close contact.
If at any time the person experiences symptoms, the CDC guidance says, "they should immediately self-isolate and contact the local public health authority or their healthcare provider to report this change in clinical status …. The presence of any symptoms would lead to diagnostic testing and management as infected if the test result were positive."
For fully vaccinated persons who have had a close contact, the CDC guidance recommends that they be tested 3-5 days following the date of their exposure and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result. They should isolate if they test positive. If they comply with this testing recommendation, they do not need to be quarantined or restricted from work. The OSHA guidance advises quarantining any workers who are infected, unvaccinated workers who have had close contact with someone who tested positive, and all workers with COVID-19 symptoms. It does not recommend quarantine for fully vaccinated workers following a close contact if they do not exhibit symptoms or test positive.
In addition to these general measures for all workplaces, OSHA's updated guidance expands its prior list of additional recommended protective measures for higher-risk workplaces with mixed vaccination status workers. For example, for meat, seafood, and poultry processing plants, manufacturing facilities, and assembly line operations, OSHA clarifies that barriers are not a replacement for worker use of face coverings or physical distancing. If barriers are used where physical distancing cannot be maintained, they should be made of a solid, impermeable material, like plastic or acrylic, that can be easily cleaned or replaced. Barriers should block face-to-face pathways and should not flap or otherwise move out of position when they are being used.
Employers should continue to monitor OSHA and CDC developments to ensure that unvaccinated and other at-risk workers are protected, and should consider implementing the recommended best practices.
Beveridge & Diamond's Occupational Safety & Health practice group works alongside clients' legal, EHS, and technical teams to help resolve critical enforcement, compliance, and regulatory issues relating to their facilities and operations. We maintain an Occupational Safety & Health Resource Center designed to help companies understand the regulatory framework for worker health and safety protection and stay educated about the federal and state developments affecting their workplaces.

A 31-0 loss to a hapless division rival wasn't the best, last impression for interim head coach Joe Philbin to leave, but he doesn't expect Sunday's finale to affect his chances either way.
Philbin called the Packers' loss to Detroit "disappointing" and acknowledged it didn't help his case, but said his familiarity with the organization will overshadow any one game.
"I've been a member of the organization for 10 years," Philbin said after the game. "They know who I am, they know what I believe in, they know where I stand. I want what's best for the Green Bay Packers anyway. And whatever that may be, I'm good with."
Philbin would not say when he will be interviewed for the head-coaching job, deferring the question to president/CEO Mark Murphy. When asked if he would be willing to return in a role other than head coach, Philbin was noncommittal.
"I have faith they'll make a great decision as they should," Philbins said. "This is an incredible place to work every day. Again, it's disappointing, no question. I didn't see it coming. And the most important thing is to get the right man to lead the Green Bay Packers into the future. And I'm sure honestly that's the charge of Mark, and I'm sure he'll do that. Whoever that may be."
More fake follies
Leading 7-0 on the road, Lions head coach Matt Patricia elected to take advantage of one of the Packers' biggest weaknesses to increase the lead: special teams.
With 10 minutes, 36 seconds to go in the first half, the Lions lined up for a 25-yard field goal attempt from veteran Matt Prater. As the Packers shuffled personnel, Lions tight end Levine Toilolo detached from the formation and split out wide to the left of Prater. No Packers player noticed. Rookie Josh Jackson was closest, but he had a hand down on the line of scrimmage at the snap.
"Coaches saw something early in the week and we executed it," Prater said.
It was a relatively easy pitch-and-catch for a 14-0 Lions lead.
"Unfortunately with some of the rules changes and stuff it's been real difficult to run that play," Patricia said. "So we made sure that we checked and had everything put in place and just kind of knew that I wanted to run it and give it a shot and see if it worked out. We had the right situation come up. It was real specific, as far as, when we were going to have an opportunity to do it. It had to kind of be exactly on and we were close."
After the play, Philbin had a discussion with the officials about the legality of the formation.
"It was a legal play," Philbin said. "It was a good play. We have to do it, obviously be better prepared for that particular play and we weren't and they executed it well and they ended up with, you know, four extra points. They were lining up for a field goal and they ended up with a touchdown. So that's on, that's us. That's coaching. That's on me."

Hi guys!
I was just working on a program that reads from a file of this format:GIVEN AT THE BOTTOM
But for some reason the output is {0:1} for both station1 and station2 . I was just wondering why this was happening? I tried using the debug function but not able to understand.
Appreciate all your effort!
Thanks :)
FILE FORMAT:
(NAME:DATE:STATION NUMBER)

a01:01-24-2011:s1

a03:01-24-2011:s2

a03:09-24-2011:s1

a03:10-23-2011:s1

a04:11-01-2011:s1

a04:11-02-2011:s2

a04:11-03-2011:s1

a04:01-01-2011:s1

A: Your dictionaries only hold {0:1} because that's all you're putting in them!
station1[0]=1 # This sets a key-value pair of 0 : 1

I'm not totally sure what your expected output is, but I think you're making this harder than it needs to be. I'm guessing you want something like this:
name, date, station = line.split(':') # use meaningful identifiers!

if name not in station1 and station == 's1':
    station1[name] = date
elif name not in station2 and station == 's2':
    station2[name] = date

This will give you output dictionaries like this:
{'a01' : '01-24-2011',
 'a03' : '09-24-2011'}

Note that by checking if the keys are already in the dictionary, you'll only add the first of any non-unique keys you come across to any given dictionary (for example, you'd only get the first two of your four 'a04' entries in your example input--the second two would be ignored, because 'a04' is already in both dicitonaries).

October is a great time to be in the garden in Tasmania. Flowers are blooming. It's the best time to get into the garden, catch up on the jobs…and of course have a lot of fun. Here are a few things to do in your garden this month.
This month in the garden it's all about tomatoes. From Tiny Toms to the larger Black Russians, there are all sorts of different sizes and colours to grow in the garden.
When they're home grown, they taste delicious. Tomatoes grow well in pots, hanging baskets or in the ground.
It's also a great time to get in some summer colour. Pretty petunias, French marigolds and alyssums are good, hardy, sun-loving choices. Plant them in the garden or a pot for a pop of colour.
It's a great time to plant kangaroo paws. There are some fabulous new varieties on the market. 'Bush Gems' are a range of kangaroo paws that have been bred for their compact-growing habit. They produce brightly coloured flowers and have improved disease tolerance. They love a well-drained, sunny position. Prune stems to the base after flowering.
Don't neglect the herb patch either. Parsley, oregano, coriander, sage and thyme are all good to plant this month in a sunny spot.
Sow beetroot and carrot seed. Soak beetroot seed in water to help germination rates and sow carrot seed straight into the garden.
If you want quicker results plant seedlings of capsicum and celery.
Remove spent flowers. Deadheading is not only therapeutic for gardeners but promotes another flush of flowers. Prune other spring-flowering plants to encourage fresh, new growth.
Wait until all frosts have finished before removing any frost damage.
October is a great time to improve garden beds. Add compost or aged manure to beds before planting with vegies and flowers.
If needed, apply a weed n feed product to your lawn to get it in good shape for summer.
Also as the weather warms, keep an eye out for sap sucking insects like aphids. Spray them with pyrethrum or give them a blast with the hose.
There's lots to harvest for the table. Pick lemons, pull onions, carrots, and harvest early potatoes, Asian greens and kale.
So there you go, make the most of spring weather and get out into the garden this weekend.


Volusia County, FL - A state grant of approximately $760,000 has been allocated to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office (VCSO) in order to replace the outdated 911 system.
The 6-year-old 911 hardware will be completely replaced in the VCSO Communications Center and will have important features, such as text-to-911.
The new system should last for 7 years and once it's installed Volusia County will be able to utilize features, such as the previously mentioned text-to-911 and ECaTS which has the ability to process 911 data and provide the sheriff's office with valuable information. The system it's replacing was installed in 2012 without any state funding.
The official name of the board that's providing the grant is the E911 Board for Enhanced 911 services. Their goal is to create efficient 911 services for the citizens of Florida by promoting education and deployment of advanced systems. In 2005, the board provided 911 services with the ability to access the 911 caller's telephone number and address. Their next big project is the Statewide Text-to-911 Initiative.
For more information on the updated system or the E911 Board visit https://www.dms.myflorida.com/business_operations/telecommunications/enhanced_911.

Chancellor Fariña Announces 38 New Bilingual Programs
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 Updated: Fri Apr 20, 2018
38 Programs, Including 29 Dual Language Programs, to Open in September
NEW YORK – Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña today announced 38 new bilingual programs across the five boroughs for the 2016-17 school year, reflecting the DOE's commitment to increasing multilingual programs across the City. The expansion includes 29 Dual Language and nine Transitional Bilingual Educational programs, which will be implemented across 36 schools and serve more than 1,200 students across the City.
"The strength of New York City comes from our tremendous diversity. Not only do our students and families thrive through bilingual programs and by learning a new language and culture – the entire City does," said Mayor Bill de Blasio. "These 38 programs build on last year's Dual Language expansion that is increasing opportunity for students across the City. We're giving students the tools they need to be successful, and that starts in the classroom with programs like these."
"As a former English Language Learner, I know that a strong education makes all the difference, and these new bilingual programs will give students the foundation to succeed in the classroom and beyond," said Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña. "Speaking multiple languages is a tremendous asset for students, families, schools and our entire City, and it is my goal to further expand these programs. Through their participation in these programs, students will learn new cultures and parents will be welcomed into classrooms in different ways."
The 38 new programs will receive a total of $980,000 – a $25,000 planning grant for implementing Dual Language programs, a $10,000 grant for implementing Transitional Bilingual Education programs, and $5,000 for each program to create classroom libraries in the target language. All funding comes from the federal Title III Language Instruction for English Language Learners (ELL) program to provide teachers and principals with quality resources, materials, and training and ensure schools are implementing rigorous bilingual education. Two schools are opening two different programs: PS 169 in Sunset Park is opening two Dual Language programs – in Spanish and Chinese – and will receive one $25,000 planning grant and $10,000 to create a library in each program. PS 151 in Bushwick is opening both a Dual Language and a Transitional Bilingual Education program in Spanish and will receive both planning grants and funds for a library in each program.
Of the 38 new programs, 27 are in elementary schools, seven in middle schools, and four in high schools. Geographically, seven are in the Bronx, 21 in Brooklyn, seven in Queens, two in Manhattan, and one on Staten Island. The programs are in the following languages: Chinese, French, Haitian-Creole, Arabic, Polish, and Spanish.
In Dual Language classes, 50% of students are ELLs and 50% are English-proficient students. Both groups of students receive instruction in English and a target language. In Transitional Bilingual Education programs, ELLs who speak a common home language receive instruction in that language with intensive support in English. Gradually, students receive more instruction in English and less in their home language, until they reach proficiency in both languages. Dual Language and Transitional Bilingual Education programs both offer a host of services for ELLs that help them acquire a new language while strengthening their native tongue, and the goal of both is to educate ELL and English-proficient students to become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural.
"We are expanding bilingual programs for English Language Learners and English-proficient students in the fall of 2016 to ensure students achieve equal educational opportunities. We want all students to reach their full potential," said Milady Baez, Deputy Chancellor for the Division of English Language Learners and Student Support. "Students in bilingual programs have the opportunity to learn academic subjects in two languages, which will be a major asset in acquiring the jobs of the 21st century. These are empowering programs where students learn from an early age to respect and appreciate each other's languages and cultures, and thus become global communicators."
Schools applied for the new programs through a comprehensive application detailing their program design, instructional and professional development plan, and family engagement component. Every school that applied met the criteria for opening a bilingual program. Schools were notified earlier this year and have begun planning of the new bilingual programming in their school.
The Division of English Language Learners and Student Support (DELLSS) will support schools as they plan to open their programs this fall, and will offer ongoing professional development during the 2016-17 school year. Participating schools will also be able to visit and learn from the 15 Model Dual Language Programs announced in December. Today's announcement was made at the High School for Dual Language and Asian Studies in Manhattan, a Model Dual Language Program.
"We are incredibly excited to offer our first Dual Language Mandarin Chinese program in September 2016 for our kindergartners," said Gregg Korrol, Principal of PS 101 in Brooklyn. "Research has shown that children who speak two languages excel in thought process and flexibility of mind. The more expansive your vocabulary is, the better equipped you are to communicate and receive communication from others. Knowing two languages will expand that window even more, and help prepare our youngsters for a more connected global world."
"The PS 103 community is excited to provide students with the opportunity to become bilingual and bicultural," said Farid Reyes, Principal of PS 103 in the Bronx. "These innovative programs will build stronger foundations for our children in a very competitive and demanding world."
"PS 13 is proud to announce the opening of our Dual Language Kindergarten Program," said Evelyn Velez, Principal of PS 13 in Queens. "The 21st century demands that our students become multilingual in order to meet the diverse needs of the job markets of tomorrow. We as educators are tasked with the responsibility to assure our youth have the tools and skills necessary to be college and career-ready."
"I am very excited to welcome the Dual Language program to Port Richmond High School," said Timothy Gannon, Principal of Port Richmond High School on Staten Island. "The Dual Language program has provided many elementary and middle-school students on Staten Island the opportunity to develop the gift of fluency in two languages and we are excited to be their next educational experience. Our Community School programs will be greatly enhanced as we become the next leg of the journey for these students as they become global citizens in the 21st century. Dual Language students at Port Richmond High School will enhance our school community and positively impact all the communities of Staten Island."
"Shuang Wen School is very excited to be part of the Dual Language expansion," said Iris Chiu, Principal of PS 184 Shuang Wen School in Manhattan. "Students' cognitive development and social skills are positively impacted when they acquire more than one language. It has always been Shuang Wen School's mission and commitment to cultivate and prepare our students to be bilingual and bicultural in an increasingly competitive global society."
"We are really excited to be recipients of this grant to open a Dual Language program in September," said Fabayo McIntosh-Gordon, Principal of Brighter Choice Community School in Brooklyn. "The entire school community will benefit from students learning in both Spanish and English. Our goal is for our students to develop full oral and reading proficiency in both Spanish and English. Students will graduate being bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural. Research shows that Dual Language programs validate the cultural heritage of all students, and we are looking forward to students developing positive attitudes about students of other linguistic and cultural backgrounds, as well as positive attitudes towards themselves as learners."
"I applaud Chancellor Fariña for taking this important and critical step to provide thousands of New York's students with Dual Language education programs," said New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. "New Yorkers come from all over the world and speak dozens of languages, so expanding bilingual programs is vital for schoolchildren as they move forward in their education."
"These additional Dual Language programs will equip New York City students with the language skills they need in order to succeed in school and throughout their careers," said New York City Council Education Committee Chair Daniel Dromm. "As Chair of the Education Committee, I will continue to support this worthy initiative so that all students are afforded the opportunity to become proficient in multiple languages."
"Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña's announcement today is a welcome development in bilingual education in New York City," said Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. "The expansion of 38 bilingual programs across the five boroughs is an innovative approach that will contribute to the success of our children. Helping children to become bilingual or multilingual is helping them to be fully prepared for a global economy."
"We are a multilingual community – almost half of all households in Brooklyn speak a language other than English at home," said Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams. "I have always aspired to learn another language myself. As our students learn multiple languages in school, they will have the opportunity to expand their participation in our multilingual, multiethnic community and truly become global citizens with boundless potential."
"We need all the resources we can get both to support English Language Learners in our schools and expand language education for all our students," said Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer. "In the 21st century, multilingualism and multiculturalism are keys that unlock countless doors for our children."
"I applaud this expansion of bilingual programs in City schools particularly in schools located in my district in Queens," said U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens). "Speaking more than one language is a critical asset that provides students with tremendous benefits, and it prepares kids for success in life. I thank Chancellor Fariña for adding these additional programs, and look forward to more bilingual – and the dual language programs I've called for – being implemented in the future."
"For new American families, bilingual education is a key component to establishing a foundation for success in the classroom and beyond," said Council Member Margaret Chin. "I thank Chancellor Fariña for recognizing the importance of bilingual and dual language programs, which have experienced a dramatic expansion on her watch in schools throughout my district and across the City."
Last year, a total of $1 million was awarded to 40 schools to expand or create new Dual Language programs, and DELLSS plans to continue expanding bilingual programs each year. Additionally, the 15 new Model Dual Language Programs have each received $10,000 for multilingual instructional materials. The Model Dual Language Programs initiative serves to foster collaborative practices among Dual Language educators, elevate the quality of programs across the City and provide support and guidance to school staff interested in opening programs. Each school designated as a Model Dual Language Program hosts visits from other school leaders and staff to share best practices and strengthen other schools' existing or prospective Dual Language programs. The 15 Model Dual Language Programs include elementary, middle and high schools in all five boroughs.
The new bilingual programs are included in 2016-17 Enrollment Directories. Additionally, as part of the DOE's commitment to engaging families – including our English Language Learners – there are borough-wide parent engagement workshops in May and June that focus on critical pathways for ELLs: Dual Language, Transitional Bilingual Education, and English as a New Language.

Q: jsonkit decoding hi im using jsonkit to deserialize json kit data. this is the code i use.
NSString * strResult = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data
             encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

nslog(@"strresult");

NSDictionary *deserializedData = [strResult objectFromJSONString];

nslog(@"result");

o/p:
"data": {
  "translations": [
   {
    "translatedText": "hello"
   }
  ]
 }
}

 result {
    data =     {
        translations =         (
                        {
                translatedText = "\U091c\U093e\U0928\U093e";
            }
        );
    };
}

what is the problem????? thanks in advance

A: Try to use http://code.google.com/p/json-framework/.
Your code will look like this. And you need to include #import "JSON.h"
NSString * strResult = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSLog(@"strresult");

NSDictionary *deserializedData = [strResult JSONValue];

I think the problem is from string encoding.

Miss Mel + Miss Heather: Style Obession: "Arm Party"
One of the newest trends and newest trend words "arm party" has recently become my new style obsession. Miss Heather and I have been making string friendship bracelets for years (DIY post to come) but now fashionastias are shelling out anywhere from $4.00 at Target to $195 at boutiques for these bracelets.
If any of you read The Man Repeller blog (you should if you don't! She's on our list of Blogger Inspirations!), you will know that she has coined the phrase "arm party".
"Arm Party" essentially means piling up as many bracelets as you can on your arm. The key is to mix thin, dainty bracelets with large chunky ones and viola! instant "arm party".
What do you think? Do you love the look?
Oh, so many bracelets, so beautiful and so colorful.

My day began with Mike, Corey and Levi in Corey & Amy's room in building 8 at the Azul Fives Hotel. They had a gorgeous large room on the main floor overlooking the pool.
After spending time with the guys, I made may way over to the Vassa Spa, where the gorgeous Kayla & Amber were getting ready! After their hair and makeup was done, we made our way over to Kayla's hotel room in building 15.
Since Kayla & Mike chose to have a small bridal party, we were able to have them tag along the whole time, and we were able to get a LOT of great images together!
After some formals before the ceremony, we made our way up to the sky deck where all of their friends and family were waiting.
After the ceremony, we took some family photos overlooking the ocean, and then took some more formals until the reception started! I love sunset photos on the beach!
Finally, I photographed their reception which took place by the main pool by the beach – everything about it was just stunning.

Categorical Prescriptivity and the Meaning of Moral Terms
Another comment from the studio audience.
How is this not simply a metaethical error theory (there are no moral facts, strongly construed), combined with an attempt to reconstruct something "almost as good" as morality? . . . For example, someone who held this position might say that there are no moral facts as people generally construe them, since there are no categorical prescriptions, and that is an ineliminable part of standard moral discourse. However, insofar as we form a community of people who care about other people's welfare, there are certain "moral-like" imperatives that apply to us because of that fact.
Well, I would accept that if it were the case that categorical prescriptions were an ineliminable part of standard moral discourse, then it would follow that desirism is an error theory combined with a proposal for something "almost as good" (though I would argue that it is, in fact, significantly better than the fiction and myth of categorical prescriptions).
As it turns out, I reject the antecedent. I hold that people invented and embraced morality because they saw in it a significant potential for realizing those states of affairs in which the propositions that are the objects of their desire-states are true.
They did not fully grasp what it is exactly that had this great potential. Some suggested that they must be categorical imperatives. However, we have to reject this option because categorical imperatives, in virtue of the fact that they do not exist, do not have any potential to help people in realizing their desires.
So, categorical prescriptions - far from being an ineliminable part of moral discourse - is a theory about the nature of what has this great potential that can easily be eliminated in virtue of the fact that categorical prescriptions do not exist.
Furthermore, I don't think that there is any such thing as an ineliminable part of discourse. Language is an invention, and we can do with it what we choose. If chemists can elminate "having no parts" from the definition of an atom, and biologists can eliminate "bad air" from the definition of "malaria", then ethicists can eliminate "categorical prescriptivity" from moral terms.
Still, as I final point, I do not think that this question is worth a great amount of debate. If somebody wants to insist that moral terms, to them, refer to categorical prescriptivity, I do not need to argue that this fails to correspond to the public use of the term. It is enough to argue that 'morality' understood this way does not exist and, as such, it has no relevance in real-world decision making and is not worth bringing up as if it is relevant to any choice being made.
Whereas desires that people generally have many and strong reason to promote using rewards such as praise and punishments such as condemnation are very real and are very much worth bringing up when discussing real decisions that are to be made in the real world. The fact of these desires are particularly relevant to decisions governing the use of rewards such as praise and punishments such as condemnation.
I have "real" and "of great importance in real-world decision making" on my side. You can keep "categorical prescriptivity" and, in keeping it, render all of your moral claims false and irrelevant in the real world.
MichaelPJ said...
Okay, that makes sense. What I was trying to get at was that you seem to share a lot of ground (indeed, all the ground except the "ineliminability" of certain things from moral language) with what I would regard as one of the standard moral anti-realist positions. Given that, might that be worth emphasising more? I think one of the confusing things about your position is that you classify yourself as a moral realist, but what you say *sounds* so similar to what *philosophers* think of as classic moral anti-realism.
Secondly, in support of the role of prescriptivity in moral language one might point out that the facts you're pidgeonholing as "moral" look like they fall more naturally under "enlightened self-interest" or somesuch. That is, we already have a category for talking about things that involve higher-level facts involving desires and people's relationships to them, insofar as that helps us realise our desires.
For example, suppose my friend Jim feels that society views him as low-status, and yearns for recognition. So he decides to do something that will make him notorious, like rob a bank. But I point out that people have many reasons to condemn people who do so (etc.), and so his plan may backfire, causing people to disdain him instead. He is convinced, and decides to refrain.
What happened there seems to be that I appealed to Jim's self-interest, insofar as I pointed out that facts about other people's desires might affect the outcome of his plan. Now all this is just practical reasoning, or "enlightened self-interest"; so it all has a place within our discourse *already*. But then why would we have a second category for this sort of reasoning ("moral" reasoning), if we already have a perfectly good one? It seems that morality must be expected to do something different.
Finally, on definitions. "Bad air" was never in the definition of malaria. It was just that the disease with certain symptoms (i.e. malaria) was originally thought to be caused by bad air, and was then discovered not to be. I think you need to say a lot more about in what sense you want to keep the word "morality". Language is *our* invention, true, but the key word there is "our". You can't go around redefining words if you want to stay with the linguistic community. If, over time, the meaning in the whole community were to change, what of it? Language evolves. But you can't do it on your own!
(For the record, I'd identify with the sort of anti-realist position I'm outlining, and so I'm mostly in agreement with you; I just think it's more illuminating to say that morality *doesn't* exist!)
Matthew Flannagan said...
"Furthermore, I don't think that there is any such thing as an ineliminable part of discourse. Language is an invention, and we can do with it what we choose. If chemists can elminate "having no parts" from the definition of an atom, and biologists can eliminate "bad air" from the definition of "malaria", then ethicists can eliminate "categorical prescriptivity" from moral terms."
This argument proves to much, the same logic suggests we can eliminate "being an unmarried man" from the definition of Batchelor, or "three sided object" from triangle, or "horse with one horn" from unicorn and still be talking about the same thing when we use the terms. That seems to me to be nonsense. Some things are ineliminate features of our discourse and if we remove them we are no longer discoursing about the subject in question.

Mom's Guide on Surviving Lacrosse Tournaments
Posted on August 24, 2016 at 2:33 pm by Rachel Zietz / Uncategorized / 0
If you have a new travel lacrosse athlete in your family, there's no secret that the words "We CAN"T… We have a tournament!" is often said in your home! At this point, lacrosse is starting to be a lifestyle for you, no longer a seasonal game your kids played after the holidays. Here are five tips to help you become a pro:
1. Be realistic with your schedule.
Before committing to a travel lacrosse team, be sure to understand expectations for both players and their parents. Find one that will fit your lifestyle and budget. Also, make time for FUN! There's nothing worse than making a fun sport a chore for your family! Be sure to use your free time for bike rides, beach days, and activities that are not lacrosse related.
2) Get your wheels ready.
Be ready to live out of your car! Some families have it down…they set up RVs, AC tents…and some even impress with large screen TVs! If you have time to rest at your hotel…do it! Enjoy the pool and the team families! If you have long hours waiting at the fields, start thinking about activities and snacks for the day. Create playlists for your team to enjoy. Bring along some games that will also allow your player to rest and stay out of the heat. Be sure you know where the closest grocery store is…not only to replenish drinks & snacks…but to grab tons of popsicles to keep your team happy!
3) Keep COOL!
One of the challenges about playing outdoor tournaments is the HEAT! It's not just hot for the players, but for parents sitting out in the sun all day as well. Remember to apply and re-apply sunscreen and to stay hydrated. Freeze water bottles overnight before a tournament day so that you have plenty of cold water on hand. Cooling towels in the ice coolers are a hit with the kids because they end up giving them a quick chill & laughter! Cold fruit is great after games because it full of juicy coldness that is not heavy on your athlete's tummy!
4) Be prepared for lightning!
Have that one parent that is your known 'parent meteorologist'. You know, the one with the weather app on his phone that knows exactly where every lightning strike happened… yes.. he's a good resource!
5) Remember to have fun.
Remember that your child is playing a sport, it is supposed to be fun! Keep the intensity under control and compliment your child's efforts and accomplishments in the game. Travel sports can and will be an incredible experience for your entire family!

The Varsity Athlete Who Needed Tougher Equipment

Founder: Gladiator Lacrosse
Twitter: @GladiatorLaX
If you can't find the product you need, invent it. That's what Rachel Zietz did. The result: Gladiator Lacrosse, the ambitious Boca Raton, Fla., teen's premium line of durable lacrosse equipment.
"It's never too young to start," she tells Entrepreneur. "I started when I was 13, and it was successful. Most people are afraid, but if you're passionate about it, you're never too young."
The varsity athlete and high school sophomore honors student launched her sporty startup in 2013, largely out of frustration. Despite searching in stores and online, she was unable to get her hands on lacrosse gear that was sturdy enough to withstand rigorous practice on repeat.
"For me, if there's a problem, there's also an opportunity," she told the Sun Sentinel.
Rachel's parents and younger brother are also entrepreneurs, so she scored in business right out of the gate. In her first year, she racked up $200,000 in revenue. A year later, she was on track to bank $1 million in earnings.
Look out for the talented Young Entrepreneurs Academy graduate when she faces the "Sharks" on ABC's Shark Tank, May 13 at 9 p.m. ET. You bet we'll be watching — and pulling for her.
Rachel's favorite part of being a kidpreneur:
"I believe the best part is that I am able to pursue something that I love [business] and can inspire others that you are never too young to accomplish your dream. Also, it is amazing to run the day-to-day operations of the company and it is great to see the looks on people's faces when they realize who is running the company!"
Rachel's advice for aspiring kidpreneurs:
"My advice to any aspiring young entrepreneurs is to make sure whatever you do, you are passionate about it. Passion is the key to success and it is what drives you to work through obstacles and challenges in your way."

The Boca Teen Behind Gladiator Lacrosse Is Getting Her Shot On 'Shark Tank'
Posted on April 27, 2016 at 11:13 am by Rachel Zietz / Fitness, Lacrosse, News, Practice, Training / 0
Only 2 percent of women-owned businesses break $1 million in revenue, so 15-year-old Rachel Zietz decided to make hers one of them.
Fifteen-year-old entrepreneur Rachel Zietz spends late nights and early mornings on business video calls with her product factory in China. Sometimes she'll squeeze in a nap on the bus ride to school in Fort Lauderdale. But more likely, the high school sophomore uses that time to do homework, since her afternoons are busy with lacrosse practice for one of the three teams she's a part of.
The Boca Raton native owns Gladiator Lacrosse, which aims to sell higher-quality, lower-cost equipment than competitors. Rachel, who has been playing lacrosse since the fourth grade, felt the goals and rebounders she practiced with at home would too easily rust and tear. Not to mention, she was spending up to $230 every few months to replace broken equipment—way more than a teenager like herself could afford. "Whenever there's a problem, that really means an opportunity," she says.
So, Rachel turned her longtime passion into a lucrative business. She launched Gladiator Lacrosse as a middle school student in 2013 after developing the idea through the Young Entrepreneurs Academy. She sells rebounders ($159.95)—a trampoline-like net wall used to practice throwing and catching skills—and goals ($79.95) built to last a couple of years, primarily through her online store, gladiatorlacrosse.com. She has also launched her products at select retail stores.
Last year, the company earned more than $1 million in revenue, garnering Rachel recognition from Gov. Rick Scott, who heard about the business after Rachel introduced herself at a local event; he later honored her with Florida's Young Entrepreneur Award.
When Rachel first launched the company, she set the goal of selling 500 units total. To her surprise, she's selling at least 500 a month. Now her ultimate goal is to make Gladiator Lacrosse the brand everyone is using.
How'd she get to this point? The teenager found out that only 2 percent of women-owned businesses reach the $1 million mark and decided to do something about it. "I was like, 'Well, that's got to change. … It says right here that no one can do it, so we have to do it," she recalls.
Of course, there was more than a spur-of-the-moment decision at play. Rachel is competitive—both on the lacrosse field and in the business world—and has a keen sense of determination. Those two qualities make her a successful entrepreneur. It also doesn't hurt that Rachel was born into an innovative, business-savvy family. Her parents are seasoned entrepreneurs themselves, and her younger brother has also caught the bug, founding GameReef, a video game console rental company.
When Rachel first started selling Gladiator Lacrosse products at local tournaments—a marketing strategy none of her competitors were using at the time—she was hesitant to leave her booth and go out and get customers.
"They'll come if they're interested," she thought. But, her father would teach her that customers don't know they're interested until you show them the product. She's learned that in business, just as in lacrosse, you need good "field vision" to act selflessly and assess the situation from other perspectives.
"It takes a lot of guts to go up to someone not knowing what's going to come out of that, but I definitely got over my fear," she says.
With that kind of mentorship and encouragement from her father, Rachel has turned into the type of young woman who's bold enough to walk up to a professional lacrosse legend and pitch him a business partnership.
After spotting Major League Lacrosse player Casey Powell at a South Florida tournament, she approached the athlete to ask if he'd be interested in collaborating with Gladiator Lacrosse.
"When I went up to talk to him, like many other people, he was surprised that I was running the business so young," she says.
Together, they launched a Casey Powell signature edition line of ultra-durable rebounders and goals. And it doesn't end there. The budding businesswoman gave her elevator pitch to the cast of "Shark Tank" last summer. The episode will air on May 13.
Now when Rachel walks into business meetings with older execs, she wears heels and a power color like red, and remembers she has her own experiences to bring to the table.
"I knew I always wanted to do this. I just didn't realize I could do it this young," she says.
Casey Powell Products Finally Here!
Posted on March 31, 2016 at 2:38 pm by Rachel Zietz / Casey Powell, Lacrosse, News / 0
BIG NEWS!!! As it has been mentioned before, the partnership between Casey Powell and Gladiator Lacrosse has flourished immensely. All things considered, we are proud to announce that the new line of Casey Powell products have arrived! With much excitement from everyone surrounding this project, Gladiator Lacrosse is more than ecstatic to have Casey Powell as its brand ambassador.
Powell has spent decades submerged in his passion for lacrosse and his partnership with Gladiator Lacrosse is no exception. "I am pleased to be part of the Gladiator Lacrosse team. I have always admired quality craftsmanship in products for players and Gladiator Lacrosse offers just that. Plus, I've had the privilege of working with someone as talented, young and motivated as Rachel, she is an inspiration," he explained. With Powell joining our team we hope to make a unique and lasting impact in the lacrosse community by offering superior, professional-grade training products to the lacrosse community through a future launch of a Signature Edition Line. "We are thrilled to have Casey Powell as a representative of Gladiator Lacrosse; he combines top performance in his sport with elegance and power and he embodies the principles of perseverance through an unwavering commitment to excellence.
These are precisely the qualities that we have come to represent in our lacrosse equipment," said Rachel Zietz, CEO and founder.
