The EU2200i from Honda came in first place in our best portable generator competition. The unit offers reliability and performance that is unsurpassed in this category.
While it has a higher price than many of it's competitors in this price range, the quality of Honda's parts and the VAST network of certified Honda repair shops around the country make this a no-brainer when it comes to a RELIABLE backup solution.
That said, the EU2200i is one of the most reliable inverter generators on the market. If you're a fan of Honda (and we are) you should take a close look at this model for your next purchase.
First thing let's dig into the specs on this unit. The EU2000i is rated at 2000W peak power with a rated output of 1800W. Basically this translates into an always available 1800W with the capability to handle spikes up to 2200W.
Spikes generally occur when something like a refrigerator turn on as they require more current to start up.
The GX100 engine comes in at 98.5cc, making it one of the largest in it's class. Why is this important? Well, the larger engine allows the Honda to handle larger loads (say over 1000W) with little trouble. It also handles peak loads (startup/inductive loads) more gracefully which means less tripping of the protective circuitry.
A simple recoil pull is used to start the generator. It is specifically designed to be easy to pull so that anyone can quickly and easily fire it up with one pull.
Even with the larger engine the Honda still only weighs in at 45lbs (without fuel). Speaking of fuel, the capacity is just under one gallon. This allows for a run time of about 3.4 hours at full load (1800W) and about 8 hours in "Eco Throttle" or about 25% power.
In terms of noise the unit comes in at 59dB at it's rated load and quiets down to 53dB in economy mode. This makes the EU2200i an ideal generator for camping. You'll get no complaints from your neighbors when this guys running.
Honda also makes an EU2200i called the Companion that includes a 30V outlet for hooking up directly to your RV. It can be paralleled together (using a separate pairing kit) with the standard model, effectively doubling your power output.
As it turns out, while we were reviewing the EU2200i inverter generator we lost power for the better part of a day in our neighborhood. This gave us an excellent opportunity to test out it's capabilities in a real-world environment.
Let's start with the basics. As we mentioned earlier the unit weighs around 45lbs. The contoured handle along the top is comfortable and great for carrying. The plastic shroud covering the unit is sleek and allows for easy transport without it banging against your leg as you walk.
Startup was a breeze. Our unit came to life with one gentle pull of the starter. We switched on the Eco Throttle and it just hummed along.
The noise level was imperceptible from inside the house just a few feet a way. About the only time you could hear the unit was when the refrigerator kicked on and the Honda had to throttle up to handle the additional load. Once the fridge was running the Honda immediately dropped back into Eco mode.
Other than the fridge we hooked up a handful of lights and a few other low wattage devices. Thankfully (since we had no TV) the inverter based technology also allows you to safely charge sensitive devices such as laptops, phones, and tablets. If you're looking to power more than just a few necessities, check out these standby generator reviews.
The gas tank is accessed from the top of the unit as shown in the picture to the right. This makes refueling pretty easy, even when the unit is running.
There's a very convenient reservoir around the opening so that any fuel that doesn't make it into the tank won't run down the side of the generator.
Unfortunately there's no fuel indicator so we were stuck opening the fuel cap and using a flashlight to check the level.
During our tribulation (which lasted all of 7 hours) we didn't actually need to refuel the unit. We did add a bit extra shortly before the power was restored as a precautionary measure.
Maintenance of the EU2200i is pretty basic. Essentially it needs oil and gas to run. There is a low oil indicator on the front panel that lights up when levels get too low.
Adding or replacing oil requires removing the side panel to access the oil reservoir. Once the panel is removed simply remove the dipstick and pour out the old oil. There's even a nice spout beneath the reservoir to keep oil from dripping into the engine compartment. Using a funnel you can add 10w30 oil until the reservoir is full.
The air filters are located within the same side panel as the oil. To clean them simply unscrew the cowl covering the two filters.
Pull the two filters and wash them in the sink to remove any dirt. Use warm water and a small amount of dish soap.
Make sure to rinse them thoroughly.
Next you'll need to soak the two filters in oil before placing them back into the generator. This can be done using ziplock bag. Pour in some oil and then drop in the filters. Seal the bag and squeeze the filters to ensure oil impregnates the entire filter. Then remove the filters and blot them on a rag to remove excess oil.
Don't skip this step as too much oil in the air filters will cause the engine to smoke when running. Next wipe the air filter housing with clean rag to remove any dirt that has accumulated there. Then place the air filters back in place. Make sure the rubber gasket on the cowl is properly seated to allow no air to leak through.
The EU2200i has a 3 year warranty that covers both parts and service. Simply take the generator to an authorized dealer in your area and they will handle the diagnosis and repair.
One of the biggest benefits of buying any Honda product is their impressive network of repair facilities. You're likely to find one in just about any city or town in the U.S. This can be especially important when traveling in an RV or camper.
The Honda reputation for quality makes it easy to sleep at night knowing you've got a product that can offer power in an emergency and has the dealer network to back it up should something go wrong.

Three Ways to Disappear: An interview with author Katy Yocom
March 5, 2020 by Midge Raymond
Last year, we published Three Ways to Disappear, winner of the 2016 Siskiyou Prize for New Environmental Literature (it was also a finalist for the Dzanc Books Disquiet Open Borders Book Prize and the UNO Press Publishing Lab Prize). The novel is a story of sisters but also a story of India, and an endangered species of tiger. Three Ways to Disappear has received critical acclaim ("immersive and multi-layered" … "gently crafted language" … "clarity and grace") and was a Barnes & Noble Top Indie Favorite.
With author Katy Yocom embarking on her 2020 book tour this month, we wanted to repost this Q&A about her wonderful novel. Click here to find out where you can meet up with Katy, beginning today at the AWP conference.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for the book?
A: A few years ago, a tigress at the Louisville Zoo (our local, AZA-accredited zoo) had a litter of cubs. I immediately fell in love with them and became maybe a little obsessed. I visited them weekly, but I always felt my tiger obsession was slightly embarrassing. At the same time, I was hungering to write a novel. I kept thinking, "Katy, you can't write a novel about tigers" … until one day a friend told me: "You know, actually, you can." Two days later, I was on my deck, planting impatiens, and the first line of the novel came to me. I kept planting. And then the second line came, and I set down my gardening spade and raced inside to my computer. An hour later, I had a beginning and a good idea of the arc of the entire novel. Although the story evolved as I wrote succeeding drafts, I always knew I wanted to tell the story of a woman who travels to India wanting to do good in the world and discovering the realities that complicate that seemingly simple desire.
Q: How long did it take you to write Three Ways to Disappear? Did you have a special routine or place in which you wrote?
A:It took me about a year and a half from first idea to write a complete draft of the story. I finished that first draft at a writing residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, Nebraska—an organization to which I owe huge thanks.
Over the years I spent drafting and then revising this book, I spent more writing days than I can count at Hopscotch House, a retreat center run by the Kentucky Foundation for Women. I took retreats everywhere I could. Of course, life demanded that I hold down a job, and I couldn't spend all my vacation time on writing retreats. So, many days, I got up before dawn so I could spend an hour or two writing before work. To be honest, I think the daily writing—tiring though it was—was its own kind of magic. When you're writing every day, your imagination keeps working on the story even when you're not consciously aware of it. When that happens, great leaps of progress are possible.
Q: What research did you do in order to write this book?
A: After I had the initial idea, I quickly realized there was no way I could write this novel without traveling to India. I spent three weeks there visiting tiger preserves, including a week at Ranthambore, where the novel is set, and another week at Kanha. I even traveled into the Sundarbans, where tiger sightings are extremely rare, and managed to see two wild tigers there! It was a stunning experience—truly the trip of a lifetime. I never imagined I'd be lucky enough to see tigers living in the wild in some of the most beautiful spots on earth. One of the best things about that trip is that my mother came with me for the first ten days, including the Ranthambore part of the journey. Mom initially was reluctant to make the trip, but once we got there, the natural beauty of the national parks won her over.
Q: How does the theme of family permeate the story, both for humans and animals?
A: I wanted to show family relationships through the lens of two sisters and their family of origin, but also through Quinn's own husband and children, and through Sarah's relationships and how they might or might not approach the intimacy of true family. And then, of course, there's the tiger family in the book—a mother and her two cubs, and even the father. In tiger families, it's generally understood that the father is not involved, but that's not necessarily 100 percent true. By showing the lives of the tigers in counterpoint to the lives of the humans, I hoped to highlight some of the truly universal themes of filial love and care as it plays out between generations in a family.
Q: Although you started with the tigers, this is essentially a family story, a sister story?
A:Yes. My two main characters are American sisters who spent their childhood in India. After their brother's death at age seven changed the course of their lives, they took different paths and grew increasingly apart. One sister is more inward-facing. She chose a settled life focused on her art and her family in Louisville, Kentucky, the city where she's lived since she was eleven years old. The other sister, Sarah, has spent her adult life as a journalist who travels the world. She's more outward-facing, more concerned with the inequities and injustices she sees everywhere she goes. At the beginning of the novel, she decides that if she wants to make a difference in the world, she needs to leave journalism and dedicate herself to one cause. The cause she chooses is tiger conservation, which coincidentally (or not) happens to take her back to the country where her family fell apart, and where a few mysteries remain that she'd like to resolve. Without giving too much away, it's Sarah's return to India that allows the sisters to begin to reconnect with each other at last.
Q: What did you find when you started researching tigers and conservation?
A:I learned so much! Sadly, I learned about the bloody history of human-tiger interactions and the grave danger that the tiger is in due to human population growth, poaching, and habitat loss. I also learned about the important work being done by governments, NGOs, scientists, and heroic individuals who've dedicated their lives to this cause. Although tiger numbers are rebounding now, at the time I began my research, things looked very grim indeed. Just a few decades ago, there was serious speculation that tigers in the wild might be extinct by the end of the millennium. Fortunately, that's not the case, but the current good news is unfortunately not a reason to relax. The numbers are on the rise now precisely because people are paying attention and dedicating resources to the cause. If that goes away, we're right back to a downward spiral.
Q: What was it like traveling to India to research this book?
A: It was amazing! India is vibrant unlike any other place I've ever traveled. Everything seemed more intense there, from the population density to the multitude of colors and sounds to the traffic in the streets. Once we left the cities and got out into the relatively wide-open spaces of the national parks, it still felt intense, in a different way. The beauty of the landscape, the variety of flora and fauna, the life-and-death dramas being played out every minute among the animals. At Ranthambore especially, it was stunning to see the spectacular landscape dotted with these ancient structures, from an enormous clifftop fortress to a sweet little summer palace built a thousand years ago. And against that backdrop, wild animals living and hunting and giving birth and doing what it takes to survive in the wild. Time seemed to collapse. I find myself thinking about the experience in terms of lenses — telescopic ones that reduce distance and time, and kaleidoscopic ones that amplify the swirl of life.
My travels in India affected every page of the India chapters of the book. The main effect had to do with being immersed in the natural landscape of the national parks, and witnessing the activities of tigers and other animals living free. But beyond those influences, which were the reason I took the trip, were all the side trips and conversations and things I observed that I had no idea would affect the course of the story. I visited the home of a wildlife veterinarian, and he showed up in the pages of the book. I visited villages that are located within tiger territory, and they turned out to play a central role in the story. I visited a regional hospital, and, lo and behold, it turned up in the story, too. The food I ate, passing street scenes — I feel like it all filtered through my senses and came out my fingers into the pages of the book.
Q: What do you hope readers will take away from this book?
A:That there is work to do. That life is going to change us. That we should be tenderly careful of the things and people we love. That we should be kind to each other while there is still time.

1. They come up with some awesome ideas when you're looking to sell your place. You probably can do some of that on your own, but do you really have the time to do ALL of it on your own. No. No you don't.
2. When you're looking to buy a place, the process itself is difficult enough, but imagine not knowing what to look out for. Brokers can find places that aren't on the market because they know other people in the industry. They also know, you know, other brokers, that may have off market listings. This is especially crucial now as inventory is absurdly low and prices have gone through the roof. Does this mean you shouldn't do leg work on your own? No. But it does mean you'll have an extra set of hands dedicated to helping you. Again, crucial if you have, you know, a full time job and everything.
4. You have someone on your side. I know this may sound cliche and make you feel all warm and fuzzy, inside, but it's true. We're a law firm that represents real estate purchasers throughout New York City and I can tell you that there is a difference in the approach taken when someone buys with a broker and someone does not. The person with a broker can defer many of the tasks surrounding buying an apartment in New York, which are stressful enough, to a Real Estate broker instead.
5. The real estate market in New York City has gone absolutely batshit. There are lines for open houses. There are dozens of offers for each unit that is available. There is almost no inventory and there are tons of people looking to buy. This is not a good time to go all YOLO and do this yourself. I've seen it firsthand when we represent both purchasers and sellers in real estate transactions in New York. Make all the broker jokes you want, but they may be the difference between getting your dream apartment and not getting your dream apartment. They can put together paperwork that makes your offer more enticing. They may find out that a buyer dropped out and allow you to now bid. The good ones (and let me qualify this entire thing but saying you need a GOOD real estate broker) are well worth their commissions.
6. As to commissions and what you actually are "paying" your real estate broker, check out Curbed's article here.
As always, if you have any questions, we're here to help.

It was panned by critics, but Bohemian Rhapsody won best film at the Golden Globes on Sunday and has made almost £600million at the box office.
Now the huge success of the movie about the band Queen will see Mary Austin, the former fiancee of lead singer Freddie Mercury, scoop around £40million in royalties.
She met Mercury in 1970 when she was a 19-year-old art student and they moved in together before he was famous. Although their engagement ended when he told her he was gay, the pair remained remarkably close for the rest of his life.
And after his death in 1991 he left her 50 per cent of his future earnings. A further 25 per cent went to his parents and 25 per cent to his sister.
Miss Austin's share increased to 75 per cent after the death of Mercury's parents. He had also left her his 28- room £20million west London mansion, as well as the bulk of his £9million fortune – including his art collection and Louis XV furniture.
According to financial records, future earnings of Queen are split four ways between the Freddie Mercury estate and his three surviving bandmates – guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bassist John Deacon. It means that Miss Austin receives around 19 per cent.
Miss Austin, 67, is understood to have little to do with May, Taylor or Deacon and is not thought to have had any involvement in the production of the film Bohemian Rhapsody, in which she is played by actress Lucy Boynton.
The Queen song the film is named after has been downloaded 1.6billion times around the world.
But when the movie was released in October it was mocked by critics, with comments including 'Freddie Mercury biopic bites the dust', 'this karaoke-style paean is all style, no soul' and 'strung together with join-the-dots plotting'.
Against the odds, however, the film was named best motion picture at the Golden Globes on Sunday, while Rami Malek won the award for best actor for his portrayal of Mercury.
The film, which cost £40million to make, has earned £580million around the world. It is now a major contender for success at the Oscars next month.
Miss Austin has kept away from the bright lights, choosing to live a quiet life in Mercury's former home. She is occasionally spotted popping to the shops in trainers and sports clothing.
In a rare interview six years ago, she admitted that inheriting Mercury's fortune was a burden which had caused 'bitter resentment', not least among the surviving band members.
Swearing he still loved and needed her, he pleaded with her to remain his closest companion, and installed her in a flat near his home. Close friends say she became a sort of surrogate mother to him for the rest of his life and nursed him before he died from Aids.
Mercury once said: 'I couldn't fall in love with a man the same way as I have with Mary.' Miss Austin has two adult sons by painter Piers Cameron and was married to businessman Nick Holford, but both relationships were shortlived.
It appears she found it difficult to find anyone to live up to Mercury.
His surviving bandmates are each expected to receive at least £63million from the movie, though this could rise to nearer £70million.
The trio are already vastly wealthy.
£105million. This will rocket when they receive royalties from the blockbuster.
A film insider said: 'They will be massively in profit. Because Queen Films made the film they are quite high up the waterfall of money that cascades down from the film.
A spokesman for Queen declined to comment. Miss Austin did not respond to requests for comment.

Inside Skolkovo, Moscow's self-styled Silicon Valley
Guardian Moscow week
With buildings like the Hypercube and the Matrix, the Russian startup hub looks the part – but corruption allegations, the parlous international situation and getting on the wrong side of Vladimir Putin have all made life difficult

There's a machine that can print a thyroid gland, a mechanised suit that is helping a paraplegic play football and a lifelike bust of Alan Turing answering questions in a robotic drawl.
Welcome to Skolkovo, a 400-hectare plot of land west of Moscow that is trying to style itself as Russia's coming Silicon Valley. On a glorious day, surrounded by suitably named buildings like the Hypercube, the Matrix and the Technopark, a cluster of prodigies that put the star into start-up are showing off their ideas to a trickle of potential investors, venture capitalists from Russia and abroad.
At face value, the innovation hub first conceived of five years ago, appears a promising, even urgent, idea in a country so rich in scientific brilliance but so poor at bringing it to market. Even now it is hard to think of a single Russian brand that has broken through internationally. The country has long been chastised for over-relying on raw materials for its wealth; here is a counterpoint to all that.
But Skolkovo has endured an excruciating incubation. Far from turning Moscow into a new free-wheeling California, it quickly got on the wrong side of a suspicious Vladimir Putin and found itself grappling with tax inspectors and corruption allegations. Some of its mentors – and startups – emigrated.

And now something perhaps even worse: the parlous international situation makes investment in Russia a risky game again. Every bullet that's fired in Ukraine is another shot across the bows of the international venture capitalists that were supposed to breathe life, and capital, into Skolkovo. With the exception of a large delegation of intrepid Finns, including strangely the F1 driver Mika Häkkinen, Europeans were conspicuous by their absence at last week's investment fair.
Skolkovo has 1,100 startups working in IT, biomedicine, green energy, robotics, telecoms and radiation technology
Even those in the government who are rooting for Skolkovo admit they have a battle on their hands.
The prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, an early champion of the idea of a tech hub, acknowledged last week that they were facing "a fairly difficult foreign backdrop," but stuck to his guns. "It's clear that we need a modern system of supplying innovations that is integrated with the globalised world, that attracts the best minds and makes the most of partner connections," Medvedev told the first group of graduates from Skolkovo's new graduate school, Skoltech.
His deputy, Arkady Dvorkovich, told the Guardian it was just a coincidence that foreign interest had switched from Europeans to Chinese in recent months. "It's a global project and we are open to all kinds of investment, but due to sanctions, we took more effort to attract companies from new countries."

"We are well above all our targets. We could make things even faster in a better international environment. We cannot ignore certain political strands, but we are lucky it is not having an impact on us," he added.
So what are the numbers? Skolkovo now has 1,100 startups noodling around in everything from IT to biomedicine, green energy to robotics, telecoms to radiation technology. Though most have yet to bring products to market, total revenue reached $1bn at end 2014. Big international firms like Microsoft, Samsung, Cisco, Nokia and Boeing were early investors. MIT partnered in the Skoltech university.
And yet … investors are still counted in dozens not thousands. Total investment in 2014 was $60m, which doesn't seem very large.
The young Russian innovators here are breathlessly enthusiastic about the hub, which secures them big tax breaks, office space, access to business angels and mentors and international trade fairs, as well as helping with more mundane affairs like setting up businesses and applying for patents.
Usef Hesuani, a 30-year-old former medical graduate, says Skolkovo gave his company a $400,000 grant to help produce Russia's first 3D organ printer. "The potential is really huge when you consider that in China alone, 1.5 million people are waiting for organ transplants," Hesuani says.
Ekaterina Bereziy of ExoAtlet, which makes mechanised suits to help disabled people walk says the Skolkovo foundation helped with intellectual property and patents. A $26,000 prize for winning a nationwide startup competition in 2014 also came in handy.

Nikita Rodichenko, 26, technical director of Tsuru, a robotics startup, says Skolkovo helped him meet a business angel and also sent him to MIT for a year.
"We believe it is possible to operate in Russia, even in this quite intense international situation," Rodichenko says, though he doesn't rule out setting up a second office in California if his tech firm succeeds.
But is this rubbing off on Moscow itself? The site is in a field 10 miles out of the city. It seems disconnected. Curiously Rodichenko, a graduate of the prestigious Moscow State University (MGU), says he had barely heard of Skoltech before his professor told him to apply.
Perhaps more worryingly, Vladimir Putin's daughter Yekaterina Tikhonova is reportedly spearheading a $1.7bn project to create a new research hub around MGU.
So will Putin allow this 'silicon farm' to flourish? Or will his natural suspicion of western partnership and control of the digital world doom Skolkovo to irrelevance?
Ilya Ponomaryov, a former Skolkovo founder and MP who is currently in exile because of corruption charges that he rejects as political, says Skolkovo won't pay off quickly enough for the president.
I don't see any political risk … If you have a knowledge business and you get trouble, you can move it …
Pekka Viljakainen
"Putin is extremely rational," Ponomaryov said. "He understands that projects like Skolkovo would actually pay off 10 years from now. But Putin is thinking way more short-term than that."
The othe worry is that Skolkovo - or some of its startups - might succeed rather too well and become targets for appropriation. Post-Soviet Russia is after all a state whose founding principal is that asset grabs that conform to the political objectives of the Kremlin are fair play.
Pekka Viljakainen, a 43-year-old Finnish entrepreneur, who has invested in a dozen companies at Skolkovo says the fear is overplayed.
"I don't see any political risk to the hi-tech sector," says the Finn, who calls himself 'the Bulldozer' and advises Medvedev on hi-tech strategy. "If you are in a strategic field – power stations, paper mills – then maybe. If you have a knowledge business and you get trouble, you can move it one hour north to Helsinki."

Ponomaryov counters that a number of startups have already moved to California to be on the safe side - and notes that more than 200,000 people officially left Russia last year.
That may be. But for people like Albert Yefimov, head of robotics at Skolkovo, it's a moot point. Whether Russia's tech hub thrives or dies remains to be seen. But they have to try.
"Robots will come to Russia anyway," he says, after some genial banter with the robotic AI-enhanced Alan Turing. "German, American, British, it's just about where they are made, where the software is made. Mechanics and mathematics are key competences of Russia. We see how to capitalise on this in the next wave of tech."
"We don't want to make war, we want to make robots."

Q: If statement in while loop not updating all users in database Im trying to update all users in the database to get +5 turns every time this script is run.
But it updates only the first user in the database untill it has full turns and then it updates the next user.
What do i have to do to add 5 turns to all users but dont add any if they have 100/100 turns?
<?php

include ("functions/db_connect.php");

$get_users = mysqli_query($db, "SELECT * FROM `members`") or die(mysql_error());
while($user = mysqli_fetch_assoc($get_users)){

    if ($user['current_turns'] < $user['max_turns']) {
        $update = mysqli_query($db, "UPDATE `members` SET
                                `current_turns`=`current_turns`+'5' WHERE `id`='".$user['id']."'") or die(mysql_error());
        header("Location: users.php");
        exit();

    }
}

?>

A: Try using a query like this to update all the members at the same time instead of selecting them all and looping through updating them one by one.
UPDATE members
SET current_turns = LEAST(max_turns, current_turns + 5)
WHERE current_turns < max_turns

Using the LEAST function will allow the current_turns to be incremented up to max_turns without going over, as I assume this would be undesirable, but it does depend on neither column being null.

Boss notes At the start of the map run along the walkways past all the orange portals. At the last platform running over portal will spawn the boss, the Avatar. In his first three forms the Avatar will use a range of powerful elemental spells of a single element. After killing each form the Avatar will become immune to all damage and start chasing the player. At this point you must kite the Avatar back the way you came to the orange portal on the next platform. Along the way animated weapons will spawn which can be used to regain flask charges. The Avatar has massive AoE, so watch out for the Flameblasts, Ice Nova (almost the whole screen) and Storm Calls. On the last platform, the Avatar will go from using a single element to using all three concurrently, effectively making the fight thrice as difficult. Pop all your flasks and kill him fast or he will kill you. Retreat behind the pillars if you need to recuperate but beware of his Ice Nova which has massive range.

Senior Planet Entrepreneurs organize holiday fair
HowToTechnology 4 Views
Senior Planet members are a group of entrepreneurs. We saw that at the Senior Planet Fashion Show in Chelsea, where the members showed their fashion flair and retail experience. Next came Seniors first book fair with members whose published books are being sold.
"This year's holiday fair has been a great success," says Aaron Santis, program director, New York. "It gave our entrepreneurial members the opportunity to showcase their wonderful products that they manufacture and sell. At the same time, all members were given the opportunity to buy unique gift items, some of which will be remembered, valued and used for years or decades to come.
Pearls and mixed media jewelery, handmade gift cards and bookmarks, silk scarves, ceramics, paintings, knitted accessories such as hats, gloves and scarves, and cloth handbags are examples of what will be available as a Christmas present. "Members appreciate the opportunity to find wonderful handmade items at the beginning of the season in the West 25 of the street of Senior Planet, which they can buy as a gift," says Santis. "For some, it's one-stop shopping!"
Here's a taste of some of the entrepreneurs and their goods, based on information available at the time of printing. See Senior Planet New York City on Dec 1
0th (see below for details) to see the full range – look forward to much more at this year's Holiday Fair!
Marylin Silverman – Ceramist
For years Marylin Silverman was enchanted – her word – with sound and its many possibilities. In fact, she called her shop (fitting enough) Ceramic Hands. According to Silverman, her inspiration comes from nature, landscapes and movement – all of them images that guide her hands at work.
Silverman returns to this year's holiday fair, offering her a unique functional offering and sculptural ceramic creations.
Marian Goldberg – Pearl jewelery
The jeweler Marian Goldberg describes herself as a retired social worker, grandmother, chorister and volunteer helpline / lawyer. And now she is also a jeweler.
How did jewelry become part of her description?
It started as a hobby, says Goldberg. Thanks to the guidance and encouragement she received from Senior Planet, she was able to turn her rewarding hobby into her own little business: NYMamas beadwork. There is a Facebook web address: NYMamas beadwork.
Look for Goldberg's unique hand-crafted jewelry that is unique, eye-catching and sometimes playful at the Christmas Fair.
Brenda Baulkman – Visual Artistry [19659004] For Brenda Baulkman, photographing has been a hobby of choice for many years. What made photography so attractive? Baulkman says she enjoyed the hobby because photos share stories and bring communities together.
Photos that Baulkman has taken over a long period of time in various environments and that capture everyday life will be available at the Holiday Fair. You can select both single photos and 5-inch x 7-inch note cards, some of which are blank and some have messages.
Matha LeDuc – Artist
The longtime artist Martha LeDuc created paintings on paper in black and white and in color. While visits to Minnesota inspired works inspired by Midwestern scenes, she has always been intrigued by life in the Big Apple. It's no surprise that her specialty is to create illustrations of life in New York City.
The city is a constant inspiration to LeDuc's artistic muse, as shown in line art, paintings, and other illustrations on her website: https://www.marthaleduc.com. LeDuc's work can also be seen "personally" at the holiday fair.
Daryl Brook Kraus – Ceramist
One thing that is important to Daryl Brook Kraus: that the objects she makes use . For this reason, she describes her work as functional, handmade pottery and ceramic art. It brings a wide variety to the holiday fair that members can see and possibly buy as a gift.
Many more entrepreneurs will bring their creations to the holiday fair. If the sampling that we had, especially at the time of printing, is indicative, this year's show will be just as exciting and rewarding as last year's show. Do not miss it!
The Christmas Mass will be held on September 10, [10,661] on September 4, at the Senior Planet Exploration Center in Manhattan's Chelsea district (127 West 25th Street): 00 through 19:00 EST.

Some hours ago, the BitTorrent (BTT) token sale was hosted on Binance Launchpad. The token sale, which was highly anticipated, appeared to have satisfied everyone considering the high demand placed on it, thereby coming to an end in a few minutes.
According to Binance's blogpost, the token sale was conducted in two simultaneous sessions, a session was for TX holders while the other was for BNB holders. Both sessions was completed in 14 minutes.
The token sales result from Binance showed that in the two sessions a total of 59.4 billion BTT tokens were sold. The tokens have a total circulating supply of 990 billion; therefore, the realized amount of 59.4 billion BTT is just a small 6% of the total supply. As the token sale has come to an end, the distribution of BTT will go on for 15 days, which means that the token will soon be listed on exchanges.
Anyway, there is still good news for those who missed the token sale; they will have the opportunity of acquiring BTT tokens through future airdrops. The program was announced last week by Binance, and it is only for Tron (TRX) holders. They will be able to acquire BTT tokens at a rate of 1 TRX for 0.11 BTT. The first airdrop will start on February 11.
Some people are yet to know what BitTorrent Token (BTT) is. The token was created to be used to incentivize those who view contents on BitTorrent owned torrent networks, including uTorrent. Following the acquisition of BitTorrent by Tron, the development of a token that will be used on their massive network has been in the works.
BTT received a lot of hype because of its direct link to the massive network of BitTorrent, to serve as its Cryptocurrency token. According to reports, the traffic generated by BitTorrent accounts for more than 22% of the world's upstream traffic. Little wonder the token has a high value and market cap due to its affiliation with such a large network.

Making Piano Accessible for All Kids
Kelle Barr | Wednesday, April 16, 2014
Piano Labs Instructor Hugh Little with Woods Lake Elementary School Student

Piano Labs at Woods Lake Elementary School

Kalamazoo, Michigan 49007
Piano Labs gives some of Kalamazoo's most vulnerable kids and young adults a chance to make music and become pianists.
Professional music lessons, once out of reach for many of Kalamazoo's young people, are now easily within their grasp. Piano Labs, an initiative of The Gilmore, has removed some of the barriers that vulnerable kids face by bringing free or low-cost piano instruction directly to them where they study, play, and live.
That means no arranging of after-school transportation to the lessons. No money-juggling for the private lessons that can be cost-prohibitive. No worries about the absence of a piano keyboard to practice on at home.
Director of Education Adam Schumaker and his team of associates – musicians, graduate-level music students, and music instructors – teach piano music to kids with age- and stage- appropriate lessons that educate, entertain, and enrich.
The children served through Piano Labs hail from three distinctly different populations: elementary schools, the Kalamazoo
Designed to support the facility's incarcerated youth, Piano Labs uncovers talent that many kids don't know they possess.
County Juvenile Home, and the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency (KRESA) Young Adult Program. Schedules, lab configurations, and curriculums differ from site to site.
The elementary school Piano Labs take place weekly at Woods Lake and Spring Valley schools, targeting second- through fifth-grade fledgling pianists, many of whom have never touched the keys of piano. For a one-time fee of just $10, students take part in 30-miniute piano lessons for the entire school year. They learn to read music and perform at recitals.
Piano Labs also serve youth residing at the Kalamazoo County Juvenile Home. Mastering piano seems like an odd challenge for youth in crisis or survival mode, who face numerous obstacles as they transition into adulthood. Many troubled teens already have fragile confidence that has been shredded by years of living through rough circumstances.
While some of these kids gave up on themselves years ago, Schumaker doesn't give up on them. He believes that everyone has his own distinct brand of creativity.
A blend of private and group piano instruction, as well as sessions of music therapy, history and appreciation, are built into the curriculum at the juvenile home. Designed to support the facility's incarcerated youth, Piano Labs uncovers talent that many kids don't know they possess. During free time after the lessons, residents experiment and have fun with their own music. There's a sound studio at the juvenile home where kids can make their own CDs; they write, perform and record the tracks, taking pride in the process and the results.
Across town, Piano Labs also works with 17- to 26-year-old pupils enrolled in the KRESA program for young adults with mild to severe emotional or physical challenges. Learning the life skills necessary to handle those challenges consumes much of the students' education at KRESA, but Piano Labs bring a different aspect to their learning.
Some KRESA students don't end up playing instruments or reading notes, but simply enjoy the free therapeutic magic of music, the soothing strains of piano. Percussion and other instruments are added into the lessons based on individual needs and interests.
Schumaker says that The Gilmore doesn't exist simply to turn out stellar musicians. "We're here to help kids who need our help," says Shumaker. "Music programs are engaging for all of our students; music is a simple but very effective way to help kids learn about structure, perseverance, and other qualities they can take from our classes and use in their everyday lives."
"We're here to help kids who need our help," says Shumaker. "Music programs are engaging for all of our students; music is a simple but very effective way to help kids learn about structure, perseverance, and other qualities they can take from our classes and use in their everyday lives."
As much as the three populations differ, everyone involved shares their joy at the musical festivals and recitals where Piano Labs' students present their music to friends, families, and peers. These events have proved to be solid difference makers when it comes to the pride, conviction, and self-assurance that are vital to personal growth.
"This program helps kids and adults share triumphs with their parents, teachers, and friends," Schumaker says. "I know that kids – and I'm talking about kids in general – crave attention from adults more than anything else."
At Piano Labs' sites, there is no ceiling on who can join. Anyone is welcome, and not a single child has been turned away in the three years that Schumaker has headed Piano Labs. It's paying off in students taking ownership of what they've written or performed.
"One of the best things I see, and what I love most about the Piano Labs, is an increase in confidence and self-worth," Schumaker says. "It's great to be able to watch that happen."

Jacob Rogers|September 20, 2011
Parallel coming to the school. By Jacob Rogers Ultimate is on its way to becoming a school club. The ultimate Frisbee team has normally been non affiliated with the school but this year it will see changes. With the help and support of Principal Evans, who plans on sponsoring the group of Frisbee players. "I will be buying the Ultimate disc this year, setting up event announcements for them, and anything else they need i want to help and support them," Evans said. Ultimate is a sport much like football, you have two goal areas, you throw the Frisbee to one of your teammates and try to get a person in the goal area and catch it. the trick is you cannot move if you have the Frisbee in your hands. Alas, you also have the other team doing whatever they can to make you drop the Frisbee and create a turnover. The goal lines are 25 feet in on a 70 by 40 yard field. The Ames team is called Parallel, and this summer they had 17 wins with only 1 loss. While clearly a good team, they are always looking for new players to come out and join them. Cody Brown, an enthusiast of sorts for the game ultimate, has been playing for his whole high school career. Coming in as a senior this year, he is looking forward to the team becoming a club here at the school. "I'm looking forward to it becoming a club because think it will bring a lot of new comers", Brown said. "I think its really cool that Mr. Evans is so supportive of the group."

The scale of this global challenge is too large for any actor to achieve alone. We foster collective action.
Many projects and solutions are ready to be scaled. We showcase models that work and empower them to reach new heights.
Homepage Challenge
Forests are critical to the health of the planet. They sequester carbon, regulate global temperatures and freshwater flows, recharge groundwater, anchor fertile soil and act as flood barriers.
The degradation and loss of forests is destabilizing natural systems on a scale unseen in human history. We have already lost nearly half of the trees that existed before the onset of agriculture, and despite countless efforts, this loss continues to grow every year.
Forests are an essential part of the solution to tackle climate change and biodiversity collapse. Healthy forests are also important for jobs and sustainable livelihoods through forest products and activities such as conservation and restoration.
Forests make us healthier and more resilient; they filter air pollution and reduce heat islands in cities; and they can propel new drug discoveries to treat current and future diseases.

The Power of Action
Corporate ambition and action for forests is needed to reverse deforestation and reach the scale of change the planet needs. We curate a cross-industry alliance of companies committed to forest leadership and impact.

The Impact of Food Insecurity on the Development of Young Low-Income Black and Latino Children
Madina Agénor, Emerson Fellow
The Impact of Food Insecurity on the Development of Young, Low-Income Black and Latino Children presents research findings from the Children's Sentinel Nutrition Assistance Project (C-SNAP), linking food insecurity, child development, and school readiness. It is the first publication of its kind to quantify the developmental effects of food insecurity in vulnerable children of color under the age of three. The report was published and disseminated by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in Spring 2006.

Q: maven resource from multiple source directory I have a web project which has a specific resource directory structure similar to below.

*

*client

*abc

*xyz

The client directory contains all the basic file required for the project. The other directories are client-specific override. Currently, in order to run the website for the client abc, I have to manually copy files from client directory into the abc folder and make sure that I don't accidentally overwrite the file in abc, as the web framework does not support resource overrides by any mean.
On top of that, I don't have access to the web framework code, and it's currently unmaintained. I can't change the framework to support the resource override, unfortunately.
My company decided that we want to make use of Maven to automate the build process. I have no control over this decision. Anyway, I'm not really familiar with Maven, I need some advice on how to archive the resource preparing task mentioned above.
I do have a Gradle script to automate the build. Unfortunately, it's not accepted by the company (we don't want to use too many tools to do the same thing). I've written the resource preparing task in Gradle to do the following step:-

*

*make a copy of client directory

*rename the abc directory to a temporary name (eg. abc.org)

*rename the directory created in 1. to abc.

*copy all file from 2. to the directory abc (the one created in 1.)

I don't know if I can use the same approach in Maven or not though. Just put it here as a reference.

A: For low level copying of directories, I prefer the maven-antrun-plugin and write some copy and move commands in Ant.

NEWS OF THE gory death of Thomas Geoffrey hit his neighbors and co-workers like a jolt of lightening. Everyone was stunned and petrified, and the police was at a loss for how to work the bizarre case.
There were no signs of physical violence in the house and no fingerprints anywhere. It was as though no one had been in the house beside the victim. No indication of forceful entry and no item in the house had been declared missing so far. There was even a fifteen hundred dollar gold ring in the pocket of the deceased at the time of his death. Clearly, from every angle, the murder reeked of something more sinister and diabolic, and that was what spooked everybody out.
"Someone's pretty sick out there," said one of the police officers who came to comb through the house in the hours following the discovery of the macabre murder.
Obviously, there were no suspects to questions, aside from the neighbors who all seemed dazed and clueless. No one said they heard any sounds or saw anyone suspicious in the premises or noticed anything out of the ordinary. There was no murder weapon and no clear motive why someone wanted Thomas Geoffrey murdered in such vile and sadistic fashion.
"Who could even carry out a murder like this?" said a police officer, frowning as though he was about to puke at any minute.
"And that's what beats me," said the medical examiner afterwards, when the officers were speaking with her during the autopsy. "It would be impossible for the vic to have suffered this much internal injuries to his bones without any skin breakage."
"What do you mean, Doctor?" asked the officer.
"Well, all the bones are pretty much broken, Officer," she answered.
"All?"
She nodded. "It appeared he went under a 15-ton trailer. His external skin tissue is intact, but every bone in his body is crushed – ribs, spinal columns, joints, even his skull got quite a beating. There was massive internal bleeding."
The policeman squinted uneasily. "What do you think happened to him?"
"We have no idea what kind of weapon the assailant might have had," replied the ME. "Most weapons would leave a print mark, in fact; a knife, a club, a hammer, a crowbar or even a cudgel. There would be something about the injuries that might tell us what weapon was used or the extent of force applied by the assailant. But not with this victim here; there's totally no clue what did this to this poor fellow," she said grimly, shrugging. "It's almost as if his bones just exploded inside his body of their own accord."
"That's horse shit!" blurted another officer, looking deeply confounded.
The ME sighed, said nothing.
Samantha Prince stopped by at the hospital to check on Alan later that evening. He was still stable, at least. His vitals were normal and seemed to be improving, even though he had not come out of coma yet.
Jonathan was in the room when she got there, and they both sat frigidly at either side of the bed facing each other and watching their son's soft breathing. It was an awkward moment for the couple, because they had not been in that close proximity with each other since after she left him. And they might never have been able to see eye to eye again, had not Alan been there in the hospital in a precarious condition.
There were occasional glances stolen however; their eyes locking every once in a while.
"Are you alright?" asked Jonathan finally, fixing her with an uncertain, curious stare. He noticed that she seemed distressed, and sensed that it wasn't only for the sake of their son. "You seem rattled."
She looked up uneasily, clenched her lips and then looked away with tear-stung eyes. "I'm fine," she muttered unconvincingly.
"No, you're not."
She paused, bowed her head gravely. And tears began to stream down her cheeks.
"What happened?" he asked her kindly. "Is it your job?"
She shook her head slowly, sniffed and tried to compose herself. "It's my boss, Thomas. He's dead."
"What! How?" asked Jonathan, genuinely surprised and concerned. "What happened?"
"It was last night, in his house," Samantha answered quietly. "Someone murdered him in his own home." She paused, wiped her face with a small towel and sighed in dismay.
"Has there been any arrest? What are the cops saying?" said Jonathan
She shrugged uncertainly, looking tensed. "No, not that I know of. They don't even know where to start the investigation or who to arrest right now. They say there's no clue what actually happened."
He paused, shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry, Samantha." Then, quietly, "I have no doubt that he must have been a good man."
Samantha looked at him quietly. "Thanks, Jonathan."

Eric Stirpe and MCSM: A Retrospective.
September 2018 in Minecraft: Story Mode
As a few of you may be aware; Today the 7th of September 2018: Eric Stirpe, the creator of Minecraft Story Mode and Lead Writer of Season 2 as well as many other Telltale properties, has completed his 5 Year contract at Telltale Games and left the company to pursue his dreams as he approaches "A new chapter of his life."
I'd like to take this time just to thank him for all his work on Minecraft Story Mode and the passion he had for both the game and it's community.
MCSM may not have been everyone's favourite Telltale game, nor may it have been the best but to those who were inspired by it and looked up to the characters in the game, we only have one person to thank: Eric Stirpe. Not to forget to thank the rest of the team who worked on MCSM throughout the years but the characters you've grown to love were written and created by none other than Mr Stirpe.
With his departure there's really nothing better we can do for this game but thank it for all the memories and to appreciate the time, effort and passion everyone gave into creating it.
In conclusion, where ever you may end up Eric Stirpe; you've always got a family at Telltale. Whether it the friends and colleagues you left behind, the characters you created or the fanbase you assembled, we're always behind you and wishing you all the best in life, you and your wife Ms Molly!
The entire MCSM fanbase.
matteso586
Isn't he helping with the upcoming Stranger Things game?
He was, I'm assuming he's completed his writing parts now though. It's been confirmed on his Twitter he's left so that seems like a logical solution.

So I guess that's it then, Minecraft story mode is really over.?
While this news dose make me kinda sad I wish Eric Stirpe good luck where ever he end up, and would like to thank him for MCSM. It inspired me in so many ways in my own writing, and helped me out during a tough part of my life. But I suppose all good things must come to an end and nothing built can last forever.

Q: Wordpress : display all articles of a month on one page I would like to change the default behavior of Wordpress regarding the number of articles displayed on a same page to be the following :

*

*when displaying the home page, the 10 most recent articles should be displayed, 10 being the setting which can be changed through the admin panel (posts_per_page)

*when displaying the articles of a specific month (given through the URL like this : ?m=200906&order=ASC, I'd like to display on the same page all articles of this month (in other words, I don't want to have to browse through articles using previous entries or next entries.

EDIT : I forgot something else I'd like to change :
On the page where all articles of the specified month are displayed, I would like to display the comments for each article.
Is this possible to do ? How ?

A: in your archive.php, add this on top of your template:
$allowedOrder = array('ASC', 'DESC');
if(isset($_GET['m'])){
   $order = isset($_GET['order']) ? (in_array($_GET['order'], $allowedOrder) ? $_GET['order'] : $allowedOrder[0]) : $allowedOrder[0];
   $m = $_GET['m'];
   $y = substr($m, 0, 4);
   $m = substr($m, -2);
   $query = "posts_per_page=-1&year=$y&monthnum=$m&order=$order";
   query_posts($query);
 }

Or, if you just have one big index.php template file, do this:
$allowedOrder = array('ASC', 'DESC');
if(is_month()){
   $order = isset($_GET['order']) ? (in_array($_GET['order'], $allowedOrder) ? $_GET['order'] : $allowedOrder[0]) : $allowedOrder[0];
   $m = $_GET['m'];
   $y = substr($m, 0, 4);
   $m = substr($m, -2);
   $query = "posts_per_page=-1&year=$y&monthnum=$m&order=$order";
   query_posts($query);
}

For more detail, look at codex page:

*

*http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

*http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

A: You can probably do this using query_post if you look at the codex page it gives you details of how to do this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

A: Check out WP_query also there are some differences between query_posts and WP_query.
Both are used to create queries for custom loop. If you want better control over query use  WP_query.

March 1, 2015 by anarchteacher
With the upcoming Liberty On Tap gathering focusing upon local issues of concern to Tulsans slated for this Thursday, March 5th, 6 PM, at HopBunz, 33rd and Peoria, I thought readers would enjoy this brief historical piece on your forebears from the 1988 archive vault of The Tulsa Tribune's Point of View op-ed column.
Tulsa's Vigilant 'Dissidents' by Charles A. Burris
They are not part of Tulsa's reigning Establishment. They hold no public office. They do not belong to Southern Hills Country Club, the Tulsa Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, or All Souls Unitarian Church. They do not serve on the boards of prominent banks, law firms, or corporations.
Yet in every news story or editorial account of a city commission meeting or public hearing, an experienced reader of the daily paper encounters a re-occurring reference to certain persons who attend these important gatherings.
Invariably, they are categorized as "long-time City Hall critics," "rebels," "dissidents," etc. (much as the Tory press described Sam Adams, Patrick Henry and Tom Paine in the 1770s.)
Just who are these people and why are they labeled with these unflattering descriptions? And why has our city become a better place for the fact that they have lived here?
"The most dangerous man, to any government," wrote this century's greatest journalist H. L. Mencken, "is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are."
From the time of Abraham and Socrates in ancient history to the present, every generation and community has had such heroic "dissidents" to challenge the status quo. Tulsa is no exception.
And it because they do not naively subscribe to the Mary Poppins Theory of Government — "that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" — in this instance, the "medicine" being the reliance upon more taxes and the bureaucratic quick-fix as the panacea to Tulsa's problems (which is the orthodox answer propounded by the powers-that-be in endless studies, panels, and reports), the following citizens are caricatured by the press in the terms described above:
TOM QUINN. Former mayoral candidate Tom Quinn's now historic lawsuit exposing City Hall corruption, fraud, and deception in last year's sales tax and bond election has undoubtedly made him one of the most talked about personalities on the Tulsa scene. He is one of the few "citizen watchdogs" of the abuses of government guided by an optimism tempered with a sense of humor. Perhaps that is what has made him so appealing to average Tulsans who pay their taxes, rear their children, and who want to be left alone by the government; and equally what has made him so feared by the business-as-usual bunch running our community.
LEE FINCANNON. To those who know him, Lee Fincannon is a quiet, soft-spoken, and gentle man. A distinguished war veteran who was awarded the Silver Star and helped liberate concentration camp inmates from Nazi tyranny, he has for over 30 years waged another battle: the protection of the rights and property of homeowners in the Mingo Creek area. Together with his comrade-in-arms, Pryor Price (scion of one of Tulsa's first families), he has fought corruption and racketeering in Tulsa city and county governmental affairs.
VINCE SPOSATO. At a mid 1960s city commission meeting, Vince Sposato painfully watched as an elderly black lady's desperate pleas to spare her home from an overzealous Urban Renewal bull-dozer fell on deaf ears. Outraged by the commissioners' callous behavior, he helped this shattered woman compose, in her own words and on her tear-stained stationery, a letter to the president of the United States describing her plight. The result: No government entity was to touch her home during her lifetime. This memory is ever-present with the compassionate Sposato.
DAVID BREED. A walking compendium of the little-known stories which make the richness of Tulsa's history and character, David Breed has stood, first with his association with the Oklahoma Eagle newspaper and presently with Western Neighbors, as the embodiment of the values of community, individual dignity, and self-help.
MRS. V. J. McCLENDON. By her presence in public affairs, and through the dedicated maintenance of her American Opinion bookstore (a Tulsa landmark just north of TJC's downtown campus), Vangie McClendon has contributed much to the educational enrichment of our city.
There are, of course, other names who come to mind: the late Hermann Kopp, Frank Carey, Betsy Horowitz, and Robert Murphy, who have stood up publicly, against the prevailing tide of opinion, for what they believed in their hearts to be right.
All of these individuals knew that "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance," and were willing to pay that price.
We are all in their debt.

Many thanks to Charles Burris for this timely and, obviously, timeless Tulsa World op-ed piece from 1988. I hope to see him at our next Liberty on Tap gathering this Thursday. Nancy Humphreys

10th Academic & Health Policy Conference on Correctional Health spotlights implementation science; Voices of the justice-involved
The 10th annual Academic & Health Policy Conference on Correctional Health will include a peer session on implementing medication assisted treatment for opioid abuse, and a town hall featuring the perspectives of justice-involved individuals when it convenes March 16-17 at the Atlanta Airport Marriott in Atlanta, Georgia.
The conference is hosted by the Academic Consortium on Criminal Justice Health (ACCJH), which is supported by UMass Medical School, and co-hosted this year by Emory University. The mission of ACCJH is to improve the care and outcomes of justice-involved individuals.
This year's keynote address, "Mass Incarceration and Our Nation's Health—Maximizing our Impact," will be presented by Warren J. Ferguson, MD, director of academic programs for UMass Medical School's Health and Criminal Justice Program and co-founder and chair of the ACCJH. His address will kick off the conference at 8:30 a.m. on March 16.
"While we have made a lot of progress, we must increase our efforts to end mass incarceration across the country and, in turn, the effect justice involvement has on health," said Dr. Ferguson, also a professor and vice chair of UMass Medical School's Department of Family Medicine & Community Health. "We created this conference 10 year ago to assist correctional administrators in their daunting task of providing health care to inmates while ensuring safety and managing tight budgets."
The interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed conference on correctional health care and policy draws participants from more than 100 academic and correctional institutions around the world.
Seminars, lectures and peer sessions on such topics as mental and behavioral health, substance abuse and dependence, infectious disease, juvenile justice, the aging of inmates and re-entry will be included in the two-day conference.
A key component of this year's conference is a peer session from 1-2 p.m. on March 16 that focuses on medication assisted treatment for inmates with substance abuse disorder. Participants in a correctional health practice collaborative led by UMass Medical School and Ferguson will present on treatment options at their facilities. The partners are the departments of corrections in Connecticut and Rhode Island and the sheriffs in the Massachusetts counties of Middlesex and Barnstable.
Also on March 16, the conference will host the town hall "An Emerging Blueprint for Change – The Corrections/Academe Nexus: Voice from Justice Involved Social Offenders" 4:30-6 p.m. The event will feature the individual experiences of those who have been involved with the justice system.
This year's plenary speaker, Dr. Fred Osher, director of health systems and health services policy at the Council of State Governments Justice Center, will discuss implementation science strategies from 9:45-11:00 a.m. on March 17. Osher is a psychiatrist with extensive experience in the development, delivery, evaluation, and adaptation of evidenced-based practices within community settings, including correctional facilities.
